About This Quote

When you're young, you often think that everything is going to be different in a few years. You see the world as a place with limitless potential that you can change and shape into a place that's better for everyone. You believe that things can always improve. But as the years pass, reality catches up with you eventually.

You begin to understand that sometimes things really are what they are, and it's best not to fight against them.
