Sometimes, contentment is a matter of will. You have to look at what you have right in front of you, at what it could be, and stop measuring it against what you've lost. I know this to be wise and true, just as I know that pretty much no one can do it.
Judging a book by its cover can sometimes be potentially beneficial, you know. While walking around Borders looking for a new book to read, I stopped and picked this up mainly because I thought the cover looked cool and colorful (don't you think so too?). Plus, it's a story of someone who seemed to be going through a depressing phase of his life and I thought I could relate to him given the emotional state I was in at that time. And that's how I discovered this wonderful writer whom apparently, critics referred to as "The American Nick Hornby", which I soo agree lah. So naturally, I have to go and buy all his books now hehe.
