Today, I was thinking a lot about movies I remember as kid. I remember being mesmerized by them and thinking "one day, my life will be JUST LIKE THIS!" Fortunately, I haven't skated into a wall a la Xanadu, got my heart ripped out and trampled on a la Pretty in Pink, or had a wild adventure a la Goonies. But I feel I am living. I am living a life that is EXACTLY what I wanted, even if it comes with a price.
Kurt Cobain said waiting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are. I think this really resonates with me. I have always wanted to be someone else. Someone thinner and more muscley, someone wealthier, someone with "everything." As I get older, I realize the things I have in life money can't buy, the body I have is what I have, and even though I may not be wealthy, I am happy and content. Happiness happens when you least expect it. I am realizing that.
With that said, tonight's random musing is that regardless of everything that is going on in my life, when I step back, I know that at the end of the day, as long as there is a roof over my head, a dog in my lap, and the comfort of friends, I am truly a very happy guy. So, I leave you with Morrissey. Anyone who REALLY knows me knows that I relate to Morrissey more than any other artist. This sums me up!
From one music love to another, "Happy is what happens when all your dreams come true." -Glinda, "Wicked"
