Contentment is a Virtue

Five years ago, me and my friends would be sitting at the last raw of our highschool class, talk about boys, hopes, goals and dreams we’d be accomplishing after we graduate from school. For a reason I still can’t seem to get, we always wanted to finish higschool as fast as possible, we used to be always in rush, we never knew how to enjoy our –now- moments together while we had it. Its almost always after we pass those moments that we realize its too late now to go back in time and actually –live- those moments.

We’d be hanging out all of us together, with our yellow general school outfits, sitting there doing nothing, most of them are probably thinking about their boyfriends while chewing their cool gums and then a random question strike out, usually regarding our prince charming.

Of course the only statement I would provide would be “my prince charming would love me more than I do”, because back then I was convinced that a girl would easily adjust with any guy that crosses her path. I never knew attraction and other small things would play its parts. I am now certain that my teenage demands are crap.

Now that I have the greatest guy right in the center of my hands, I am thinking of nothing but the other side, and why is the grass looking way too greener there.

I’m in deep shit. 

I stop for a moment and think to myself, what is the pleasure of wanting what you cant have. Why do we always get greedy to the things that we –cant- own, and the moment we succeed to own it, we no longer want it.

I’d only sigh and think, human nature. We wont ever change.

And so I only wish and pray to God, if I can’t have what I want, then let me want what I have.

Contentment is a virtue. If your convinced, satisfied and sure of what you want, then you can sit back and relax; cause your half way to your goal.
