We never want the things we have, we always want the things we can't have. I have been pondering on this for a while and I have come to a conclusion, it is a very true statement. We are always wanting something, either material or emotional....we always want more out of life than we have. I don't know why we can't just be happy with what we have, but it never seems like we really appreciate any of it. We take things and people for granted on a daily basis, missing the things that really do matter in this world. Shallowness leads the day as we try to capture the impossible dream or possession. I have been reflecting on my life a lot lately....which sounds stupid since I am only 17, but I have been doing it. I have noticed I have never been seeing what was in front of me, just what was behind me and ahead of me. I have taken people for granted, and not noticed things I should have.....very obvious things. It is almost like I have been wearing blinders for the past 17 years, not wanting to see certain things, avoiding the truth in my own little world of lying to myself and trying to make things perfect. I'm not saying things are going to change, because I don't think I can change this fact...I am just acknowledging it is there, and hopefully I will see things a bit more clearly. We always come down too hard on ourselves though, and maybe this is the case. I don't know, I just have been seeing things the way I want them to be, leading myself on with false hope....and now I see it. The things we want and the things we have, maybe we should start wanting the the things we have.....and seeing them for all they are worth. I don't know, maybe I am just insane.I'm out.

Thought of The Day: I am nothing more than a little boy inside, that cries out for attention yet I always try to hide.
