Because we are never satisfied with the present. Because we are disappointed with the &ldquo;now.&rdquo; We are so vulnerable and full of hope. Hope that &ldquo;one day&rdquo; we will be taller, thinner, prettier, buffer, smarter, more attractive, more interesting, more captivating and more living. Neglect the past because we are all people and we all deserve for our &ldquo;one day&rdquo; to come.
