Does anyone feel like they either got what they always wanted or, even if they did get what they always wanted, they might still not be happy? Sometimes, I wonder if that's the ultimate test. Like- if you're still not happy after getting what you wanted (pretty much,) where else is there left to go?
Someone asked me what my ideal job would be the other day. At one point, I would have been ecstatic that someone might actually consider paying me to do the thing I wanted to do the most. Maybe it's because I know that isn't realistic. But, I suppose I thought- I've actually kind of got what I wanted but now, I'm simply tired of all of it and I just want out.
Maybe it's because the very best case scenario often isn't exactly feasible. You may get your dream job but you have to work all hours to keep it. You may fall in love but they might be with someone else. Maybe it's because life rarely goes entirely to plan. Even the really good things in life carry problems and you just start to think- I can't be arsed with any of this anymore!
Does your level headedness or pessimism/ cynicism stop you from running away with 'best case' scenarios? Do yours actually seem feasible? I suppose it's the not being sure that plays a part in keeping people here. I feel like I'm pretty sure that my best case scenario would bring with it too many other problems for me to be happy.
