You Think You Know What You Want
Sometimes you think you know
Exactly what you want
Until you are one step away from it
Until you can have it all
Until you can see it up close
And then all of a sudden
You change your mind
You realize you are a different person
Than you were when the journey started
And so after days or months or years
Of climbing the ladder
You jump off
And everyone thinks you're crazy
Because millions of people want
To be where you were
To have what you had
But you learn the hard way
That everyone wanting to be in your shoes
Doesn't make your shoes
Any more comfortable
And so you throw them away
Because they don't fit you anymore

Thanks!
I reread this again...how true..no one knows what you sacrificed to get where you are on the ladder of Life...the message was right in front of me and even I didn't see it on my first read...awesome...enjoyed immensely..thumbs up...
Lovely and thought provoking.
Interesting. Probably need to read it again in future, just to make sure I've read it right. Voted 'thumbs up' for now... Just kidding. Pretty deep, though, but I haven't gone that far up the ladder or along the road - yet. Jury's still out on that one!
The grass is always greener until shown what it took to get that green grass.
Thanks for sharing, This was great.
I see that same sentiment in myself sometimes. When you have all that people think you should be happy with, sometimes you find yourself with questions and wanting out. You want something to make you come alive again. You hit the nail on the head and give lots of room for thought!
