i can't forget what you've forgotten

isn't it nice how i can have what might be a great thing, and because of some weird hangup or something i have, fuck it up? i wonder what my problem is. why do i never end up happy with what i've got (or could have)? i think i have this unrealistic expectation about what it's supposed to be like: fireworks, skipping beats, and all that stuff. obviously i expect too much out of certain parts of life; my life is not a movie, and things will never turn out in this impossibly idealistic way. logically i know this, yet apparently i'm willing to give up the now for the what might be. i just don't get it.
man [sic] is:
-the symbol-mis/using animal
-moralized by the negative
-separated from his natural condition by instruments of his own making
-goaded by the spirit of hierarchy
-and rotten with perfection.
--Kenneth Burke
... so, evidently, all we can do is try.
Yeah I pretty much agree with you 100%, such is life I guess, but it is a little odd that we all expect to live in the movies.
Aww love. We have to make the best with what we're given. If life was always perfect we wouldn't have anything to achieve
