when we get there.

There is a line from a song I was listening to tonight that says, 'let me know when we get there, if we get there.'  Now that is the great thing about music - it means something different to everyone depending on how their minds translate the song to them.  I heard, loud and clear, the moment when we are suppose to stop and realize, 'i've made it. that whole success thing, that whole happiness and fulfillment and you've finally worked hard enough now go enjoy...thing' 

I don't think that moment really exists.  Maybe it should, maybe it shouldn't.  I don't know.  I think we often are always wanting more, more, more and no matter how much we have, it will never be enough.  Adversley, I think few are blessed with the realization that fulfillment and true happiness often doesn't happen from doing what everyone else thinks they should be doing. The big house may or may not be there, the wad of cash in the bank may or may not be there, and it doesn't matter - that after all those years of self-doubt and struggle and hard work (on yourself) have finally paid off and you are free to go on ahead and just be you. 

I think that's what that song said to me.
