Come alive

We are never happy with what we have.

I'm a brunette, I wanted to be blonde or redheaded for most of my life.
I have straight hair, I want it to be curly. 
I have brown eyes, I wanted blue ones.
I want to be thinner, I want a nicer room, I want more girlfriends, I want more freedom, I want a car, I want a tattoo, I want to play an instrument, I want to travel every year, I want to make more money and work less, I want, I want.. I want...

We all want so many things that we can't have. Or at least, that's what we think. We all wanted to date that cute and sweet guy but never even made a move because we thought "there's no way..." We all wanted to get something done but we lacked motivation.
Granted, there are some things that we can't control... But out of all the things I mentioned, I could do something to change every single one of them.

I could dye my hair, I could get a perm, I could wear colored lenses, I could workout, I could redecorate, I could go out more and meet new people, I could talk to my mom to give me more space, I could save up and buy a car, I could just go to that tattoo parlor, I could sit my ass down and learn to play the freakin' piano, I could save and travel instead of spending on the spot, I could find a better job, I could, I could.. I could... I can.

This is actually really not what I was planning on writing, but my hands took over and this is the result.
It's probably because of the song that's stuck in my head, which is "Hit the Lights" by Selena Gomez.  
I think it ties into what I mean pretty well...

Before leaving you with that, all I want to say is you are the one who has the most control over your life. Carpe diem.
Seize the day.
