When we were babies, everything in this world seemed interesting and colorful. We reached out for objects handed to us like a group of ants devouring a mountain of chocolate cookies. It never felt like a stupid thing to do to stuff everything we could grasp with our hands into our mouth because back then nothing we do felt stupid.
We grew up, never afraid of growing up because there was so much to learn and discover. We said the darnest thing we can think of and laughed along when people laughed at us because back then we didn't really think that much about what people thought. Life was happy being just the person we were.
We started to see ourselves as who we would become in ten years time, in twenty years time. We dream big, we fought hard. We had great ambitions and we made up visions to go along with it, we made plans we thought we could carry out.
Along the way we learn that things seldom turn out the way we want it to be.
Why am I telling you all this? For the mere fact that even tough we face reality right smack in front of us, time and time again we try to fool ourselves against the very truth that is as real as the sun rising up from the east everyday for the past millions of years.
In the end, we force ourselves to get on with our life, the life that is now not and never will be what we have always dreamed it will be when we were once very young and gullible.
