Of course this is the quote by some unknown (to me) author that dominates as my cover photo on my guilty pleasure known as Facebook. It reinforces another saying that I live by: “The grass is always greener on the other side”. This may partially explain my need for perfecting the grass inspired shade of green that I like to keep my hair. Ironically, I just had to stop writing to take a hair cut, and my client asked me “why green?”, and I used the statement from above as an answer.
There is an AMAZING song by Sara Evans that really hits home for me. I know I’m not alone, that I live in a world full of dreamers. There is a huge handful of people in the world that will never feel satisfied. I don’t think that’s always a bad thing, especially if that drives you to keep perfecting your life and promotes emotional and physical growth. I’m just as curious about life as I was when I was 16 and knew nothing about the big bad world. The song is called “I Keep Looking”.
I Keep Looking
Back when I was young
Couldn’t wait to grow up
Get away and get out on my own
And looking back now
Ain’t it funny how
I’ve been trying to get back home, yeah
When my low self esteem
Needs a man loving me
And I find me a perfect catch
Then I see my friends
Having wild weekends
Then I don’t want to get quite so attached
Just as soon as I get what I want
I get unsatisfied
Good is good but could be better
I keep looking, I keep looking for
I keep looking for something more
I always wonder what’s on the other side
Of the number two door
I keep looking
Looking for something more
Well, the straight haired girls
They all want curls
And the brunettes want to be blonde
It’s your typical thing
You got ying you want yang
It just goes on and on
They say, hey, it’s only human
To never be satisfied
Well I guess that I’m as human as the next one
Oh, I keep looking
I keep looking for
I keep looking for something more
I always wonder what’s on the other side
Of the number two door
Yeah, I keep looking
Looking for something more
Just as soon as I get what I want
I get unsatisfied
Hey, good is good but could be better
I keep looking
I keep looking for
I keep looking for something more
I always wonder what’s on the other side
Of the number two door
I keep looking
Looking for something more
Oh, looking for something more
