About This Quote

While it is true that we all need something to live for, we still think that our lives will be better when we get there. We always picture what our lives will be like once we get there and while we might not fully know what it will be like, we still imagine the possibilities and the best case scenarios. We might even imagine how our lives could go wrong and make sure to avoid those outcomes. We believe that life is a series of events and that the less we have to do with the things that go wrong, the better. The reality is, however, that it is more than just a series of events and things may not turn out the way you planned them to.
