[[No One Will Ever Love You ~ The Magnetic Fields]]
You know you are getting old when you see groups of teenagers on the subway and you just fucking hate them. Like they are loud and cooler and skinnier than you, and it just fills you with rage because they seem like they're having SO MUCH MORE FUN THAN YOU WILL EVER HAVE AGAIN. they're not really though. i am always thinking about how much fun i used to be having when really when i was in it, it wasn't necessarily that fun. i feel like that's what substance abuse problems must be partly based on: trying to get back to some fun place you think you remember having which maybe were never even as good as you thought they were. erg.
A quote (which I should mention was introduced to me by Sam K):
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, (attributed)
US essayist & poet (1803 - 1882)
As lame as this sounds, I am rediscovering my love of music.
