I thought it would all last - that it would all stay the same. You brought up things that's been brewing on my mind for a few years now.  And it only takes a short time for things to drastically change---ever notice that?&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I told my partner a few months back that I was very unhappy living in the apartment that was close to my parents' place.  Well - IN my parents' building, because we rented and made the entire upstairs into a loft apartment.  Anyway, I needed to get out because everyone knew my business. I was DEPRESSED...  So, we moved out to a condo not too far, but far enough.  I was feeling depressed last week and she asked me, "Why are you depressed now?  You're in a better apartment!"  I explained to her that no amount of money or "better place" will cure me from ever being depressed again. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I think people rely on the fact that ONCE they get THAT, then they won't be sad anymore.  Or, if they get the dream job that they'll be pure bliss and joy.   But, it's the constant joy - the journey getting there that makes us on a consistent level of happiness, even if, we don't get what we truly desire. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Ever have a crush on someone, and once you get them it's like, "I was gaga over him?"   Yep. Same concept. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I need to step away from the coffee machine now! ;) &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Love ya !!!!  xxoo</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20112337/5168278625820670277/comments/default/8503577849647786945'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20112337/5168278625820670277/comments/default/8503577849647786945'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miss1999.blogspot.com/2008/01/how-it-all-turns-out.html?showComment=1200583680000#c8503577849647786945' title=''/><author><name>~Deb</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14986475569600734742</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://miss1999.blogspot.com/2008/01/how-it-all-turns-out.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20112337.post-5168278625820670277' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20112337/posts/default/5168278625820670277' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20112337.post-8298457458960883787</id><published>2008-01-16T11:12:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-01-16T11:12:00.000-05:00</updated><title type='text'>"don't cry because it's over, smile, because it ha...</title><content type='html'>"don't cry because it's over, smile, because it happened." &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I had a moment like that not too long ago when an old friend stopped by!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20112337/5168278625820670277/comments/default/8298457458960883787'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20112337/5168278625820670277/comments/default/8298457458960883787'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miss1999.blogspot.com/2008/01/how-it-all-turns-out.html?showComment=1200499920000#c8298457458960883787' title=''/><author><name>BarnGoddess</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01261723771424005816</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://miss1999.blogspot.com/2008/01/how-it-all-turns-out.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20112337.post-5168278625820670277' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20112337/posts/default/5168278625820670277' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20112337.post-497038908716289701</id><published>2008-01-16T10:22:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-01-16T10:22:00.000-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Amazing post!
