  • Why do we always think that there might be someone “better” for us,  someone more attractive, who has a better body, a bigger bank account, or a higher social status? Why can’t we be satisfied with what we have? Is the grass really greener on the other side? What if we eventually get what we want but it’s nowhere as wonderful as what we had? That doesn’t make sense right? I mean why would someone go out looking for burgers when they’ve already got steak at home?

    And then there are these girls that are into assholes. Why is that? Why want a man who treats you horribly? Why want a man who isn’t thoughtful, who doesn’t make time for you, who doesn’t take care of you or care for your needs or even worse, someone who cheats on you? Is it simply because he doesn’t want you and that in turn makes you want him even more?

    Why do we always want what’s beyond our reach? Why do we always look past the way things are to the way things were or the way things could be? Are we really that bored with life and reality that we feel the need to dream and desire for things we don’t need? 

    It’s funny we have nice things, but we always want something we think is even better than what we have right in front of us. Then, we wake up one morning and realize that it all just passed us by because we spent too much time wishing for something different. When, in reality, what we have at that moment is just what we need.

    It’s so sad and unfortunate that a lot of us are caught in this never ending cycle of the “grass is greener on the other side” syndromes… Humans–we’re just a bunch of greedy bastards, aren’t we?
