Perspective

“I am trying to see things in perspective. My dog wants a bite of my peanut butter chocolate chip bagel. I know she cannot have this, because chocolate makes dogs very sick. My dog does not understand this. She pouts and wraps herself around my leg like a scarf and purrs and tries to convince me to give her just a tiny bit. When I do not give in, she eventually gives up and lays in the corner, under the piano, drooping and sad. I hope the universe has my best interest in mind like I have my dog’s. When I want something with my whole being, and the universe withholds it from me, I hope the universe thinks to herself: "Silly girl. She thinks this is what she wants, but she does not understand how it will hurt.”

I felt this to be appropriate to move from tumblr onto this blog. Lets break this down. We travel through life thinking each day that we know exactly what we want, while in reality, it could all crash down right in front of us and end up hurting us. What we think we want could destroy us, and what we think we don't want or what we stop ourselves from having could be exactly what we need.

How the hell do we ever find happiness in this imperfect and uncertain life?
