The nice part about being a pessimist is that you are constantly being either proven right or pleasantly surprised

I wish my life were a book or a movie. Where life and death and everything inbetween occurs between a front and back cover, or in the space of merely a couple of hours, previews included. I wish it was full of adventure. Full of unrealistic situations and coincidences which so perfectly fit together. But more than that, one longs for closure. For every bad circumstance to be resolved, and for a happy ending to take place. I wish my life was a book in which the main character is cruising along at their own pace - only to encounter a few complications which grow to their full potential before the anti-climax hurries along at full speed, followed by the heart-warming conclusion. And that's the entire story of their life. If only life was like every good and perfect movie. Where good defeats evil. Where everyone around you knows the script off-by-heart, and so you receive perfect reactions from everyone, all the time, and consequently, everything turns out right. Where everythings so bloody predictable that there's no surprises. Where something good always results from something bad. Where there's only four large pieces to the puzzle which fit perfectly together, rather than 4000 - some missing. I wish life could change in a matter or hours or pages.

But life's not a book nor a movie. There's no closure, no perfect ending, no living-to-the-max, no unrealistic situations involving handsome strangers (or rather, there could be, only you see them once and that's the end of it. There's definitely no phone calls being recieved or made the following day). The anti-climax and ending stroll along much too slowly and usually never even arrive, or turn out close to heart-warming. Good doesn't always defeat evil, and quite obviously, no-one's been given the same script as you. Nothing's predictable. Good doesn't come out of bad like a rabbit comes out of a hat in a silly magic trick. Life cannot and will not change within a matter of hours. And the sooner we all realise and accept this, the sooner it gets better. You can't find diamonds if you're searching for them, but once you turn off the light, they begin to sparkle.
