“But he did not understand the price. Mortals never do. They only see the prize, their heart’s desire, their dream… But the price of getting what you want, is getting what you once wanted.”
― Neil Gaiman
How often I’ve gotten what I wanted only to find it bitter and unsatisfying. Somewhere along the way I got luckier or perhaps wiser and instead started getting what I needed. It’s not as much of a quick fix as getting what I want but in the long run it is a lot more viscerally satisfying.
Tonight I went to see the Pet Shop Boys in concert. I used to listen to them in the 90’s during my days of clubbing. It was interesting, so many people my age in the audience and in some ways it was like a bizarre combination of Nostalgia and the movie Cacoon. Everyone dancing wall to wall moving their bodies in ways that some of us haven’t in years. The energy as well as the music, the lights, the lazers etc were fantastic.
