I am stuck in a rut and I keep digging the hole deeper and deeper and Deeper! So- what do you do when you finally look up and realize you have no way of getting out? I'm selfish and stubborn and I can't overcome it, but really... why should I have to? I want what I want and I shouldn't have to settle for anything less? As Carrie Bradshaw would say "Never settle for anything less than butterflies." I don't think it should matter if it's your love life, your occupation, or the house you live in. Why should anyone have to settle for anything less than what their dreams consist of? Isn't that what dreams are all about? Settling will start to seem pretty good to anyone if expectations were too high in the first place. In another light, when ISN'T one settling? Lets face it, most people realistically do not achieve everything they want. If they do, then I am slightly disheartened.
