I Dreamed a Dream

There exists a paradox that seems errant at best - when you reject the seemingly good things that come your way, and yet long for the bad that will undoubtedly serve no productive purpose. Isn't that just messed up?

I find myself in a constant state of immaturity. Sometimes it's a matter of realizing the error of my ways slightly after the fact, but on occasion, the thought does occur to me in the midst of the wrong. The test, though, is what I end up choosing to do. I feel like the kids I used to counsel. It's just too easy to live in the pleasure of today, even if tomorrow brings pain.

But I suppose that knowing is half the battle. So am I halfway there?
