The Truth About Us

We are strange creatures indeed. We seek solace beyond the horizons of our comfort zones. We lock our lives in with complete strangers, hoping to realise our own dreams. Dreams that they had nothing to do to begin with. Dreams we hope they will assume as their own and bring to fruition. We seek, we hope, we expect too much. And more from ourselves than anyone else. We expect ourselves to turn into magicians or wizards who are able to get complete strangers to act against their own will or desires. And when our magic or wizardry fails to weild its power, we expect that we will succumb to the failure and slink back into our holes of compromise and circumstantial existence.

We spend our lives waiting for the other person to deliver, knowing full well that the goods are stocked up inside us. We bide our time expecting someone else to bring us exactly what we want, it doesn't matter if they have no clue what it is, it doesn't matter if we have no clue what it is. Some of us are lucky, we share time and space with another who wants the same things. But many of us go straight to a head on collision - the point where one person wants something and the other doesn't. Can an issue like this ever be resolved successfully? No matter which way you go, the scales will always tip to one side. I guess the best way to decide is thinking about what would be worse - living without something you want or living with something you don't want.

it's not always easy to live with something you don't want, but you have a choice, a hard one at that.
living without something you want, well, it's chasing bubbles isn't it? Nice one.
