Recycled Storylines & Tacked On Happy Endings

Where do I see myself in ten years? That’s a good question. Okay, uh, well, I guess more than anything, you know what I’d like? I’d like the happiness I have right now. Although I guess what are the chances of that? I mean, you go through your life and you are probably going to be able to look back and pinpoint like two or three times that you were genuinely, actually happy and then, of course in those moments you wouldn’t have even appreciated it anyways, because who does, right? So, where do I see myself in ten years? Um. I guess what I would like is, uh, is to be right here, right now, in this moment and not ‘cause I’m afraid of uncertainly, because I’m not. It’s just, you know, I was taught when you have something good, what you’re supposed to do is that you hang on to it, you know. You hang on to it with both hands. And if somebody tries to take that from you, what you should do is, you should make sure that they pry it from your cold, dead fingers.
