We are always looking towards the future: looking for the perfect high school, college, job, spouse, apartment and so on. We always say that we work now to be happy later.
But when do we actually live? When do we actually live in the moment without worrying about the future?
I’ve been saying that I need to work really hard, so I can do well later. I just have to study all of the time, but once I get into college, I’ll be happy.
But here I am, in college, working harder than ever.
I tell myself that I am doing this so that I’ll thrive later, that I’ll have a great job, a family and everything else I’ve wanted.
