Maybe it's the realist in me but maybe you won't ever "have it all"- the moment where life will coincide with the right place, the right person and the right time. Maybe it will happen all out of order, in a way where you actually become something that you never could have imagined for yourself. something that you don't see or understand till it is upon you. and then maybe you'll find that you're asking different questions.
Sometimes i think maybe it's the unhappy people that live life trying to reach the apexes. the same apexes we find ourselves looking for and measuring ourselves against.
And the happy people? maybe they're just living and life happens to them. some good. some bad.
But maybe they've figured out time travel too. the kind where they realize that their now is also their future. simultaneously. like a steno graph connected to a canvas they make their futures, but they don't plan them. in this sense, they understand that planning is futile.
Maybe it's about living every present moment as an opportunity to a hidden, limitless future. princess zelda didn't know who link was. link didn't know who he was. but he collected treasures, acquired skills, and worked hard- all for something he wouldn't realize until the end. that was a good video game. and maybe it would be a good life too.
