Ever noticed that when you need something in particular, real bad, it never happens.
Now everyone wants to have good things, right?
And everyone needs good things to happen, right?
And good things do happen. A lot.
But when you want one thing, so much, it just doesn't work out for you.
So what I've taken to doing, is not wanting anything too much.
I don't ever have a passionate desire to have something, because that way, I know I won't ever get it. And even if by some crazy stretch of imagination, I do get it, I know it won't be as good as I have built it up to be in my head.
Instead, I say fuck it, and care about getting as little as possible. Because that way I feel that I'm more likely to get good things.

Or maybe it's just that when the good things do happen, they seem better because I'm not expecting them?
Is this some crazy karma shit, where life rewards you for just living for the moment?
Or is it just a trick of the mind?
Maybe it's both.
