Love, sometimes

You're taught certain things from childhood, onwards.

01. That you will one day be interesting.
02. That you will one day find movie love.
03. That you will one day be smart enough.
04. That you will one day find your place in Jobland.
05. That you will one day be talented.
06. That you will one day have nice things.
07. That you will one day own a perfect home.
08. That you will one day be responsible.
09. That you will one day head a happy family.
10. That you will one day be content.

All of these things come later, of course. Always later. Instead of teaching these things, people should be taught one thing: that you will one day realise you've spent your whole life waiting; and only then does life begin.
