... And that's when I realized that no matter what you think you want your life to be like, you can never know how you'll feel about it for sure until it happens.
You dream of an ideal life and imagine what it would be like, then get discouraged when it doesn't happen. Or maybe it does happen and you get your dream, but it's disappointing because it's nothing like you thought it would be.
Then there are the peak moments. The ones that surprise you. The times when you get extremely lucky and your reality turns out to be much better than any fantasy life you've ever dreamed of. The times when you realize that you'd rather have brunch in your yoga pants with the person sitting across the table from you than nibble on a cold danish in front of a jewelry store as the sun comes up and you're wearing a fancy dress from the empty night before. That's the kind of magic that's better than anything you'll ever see on the silver screen.
Crazy Squiggly Lady knows exactly how whomever wrote this felt when they wrote it. In some ways she is living that right now. It's such a beautifully direct and realistic piece of writing. Love it!
