Sometimes we do get what we wish for. Sometimes. And it may not feel like it when we feel down but I really, truly believe that we do get what we wish for. And even though I may forget this while going through a bad phase, I still believe it. It may not always be right there in front of us and it may not be so easy to see or realise it, but all it takes is making that effort to realise it.
Remember hearin "Be careful what you wish for" anywhere?
Yeah. Sometimes, we really do get what we wish for. But are we sure that we really wanted it it the first place? Most of the time, we spend months, years, decades chasing after what we think we want. And once it's ours, it loses it's charm. It may be love/infatuation, a job position, revenge. Let's accept it, the thrill is in the chase. That feeling of not knowing for sure how a person feels about you, whether you're the one up for the big promotion, dreaming about the satisfaction after you get your revenge and so on and so forth. There's the thrill. An obsession, really. Keeps you on your toes.
But what happens when you really get what you wanted? Once you know he/she is in love with you? Once you're sitting in your new plush office? Once you've seen someone you hate in pain? Does it stop there? Or do you still want more? Do you get bored and without even realising it, start looking out for the next obsession? Or are you satisfied? Content?
Yes. We really should be careful what we wish for! Just might get it. And that sure doesn't make life any easier does it? :)
