Having it all

How to people live the have it all lifestyle? I feel like you always have to give up something for something else. That the pieces never fit together at the same time. How is there a balance? How do you find the balance? When does that happen? It seems like everything comes together but then something has to be thrown out and you never really get it back. People say you have to sacrifice and the someday you get everything you want. Is that how it works or do you always wonder what if?

Sometimes it seems that something seems perfect at the time then it has to stop and there is a small hope it will somehow continue or pick up where you left off. However, the rest of you knows that isn't the case it you sit being nostalgic. Granted the possibility of the unknown is exciting. The excitement of something new. Again the timing seems wrong. What is the point? Is it worth it for a short time? Do we just over think everything?  There is your education, work, social life, and love life. How is there enough hours in a day for it all? I definitely haven't figured it out.  Even on times staying up 24 hours doesn't fit it all together. When is it better to just live in the moment? It is now easy to understand why people fight over money. These days money is all that seems to cross my mind and how to save and pay bills. It doesn't seem to add up. Trying to add anymore to that is a struggle. Then there is a strange guilt if money is spent. When did I become an adult?

All this happens and you wonder are you missing out on other parts? Are you shutting yourself off from new and old possibilities? Secretly hoping down the road you find your way back to what you had but knowing that ship has sailed. Wondering if you should be trying now for something else but assuming there is no point because in a few months you will be on to something new and complications is not worth the trouble. You feel happy and satisfied with what you do; however, looking around at what others have makes you curious. How do you have it all?
