The mind is such an exaggerator....Especially when it comes to wishes within our hearts. Sometimes we long for something for a grand amount of time, and go to bed really wishing and praying for it, because of the beautiful portrait we've painted in our minds of it. We think of it as the answer of all our problems, and make it seem like the one perfect thing we need, we over-exaggerate since we only see the outsider perspective of it.
We brainwash ourselves.
Then, finally, you get it. It doesn't seem as perfect. We've sugarcoated it in our minds so much, because we really don't have any general knowledge on how things really are. Suddenly, you're an insider. You see the realistic side, not necessarily the pessimistic side. Something that I've been wishing for isn't truly as great, and i'm glad, because now I don't have to fight to attain the "greatness" of it, and I got closure and insight. Some of the things we wish for, aren't as good as they seem, so don't waste all of your time on it. You could be blinded by your desires--- if you've only seen it from an outsider view.
