2 short articles. 1 outlines my view on ambition, the other outlines my view of the past.
Sometimes I wonder where I'm headed, where I'm supposed to go
It's like I have an idea, and then I just forget about it
It disappears so fast, but it's probably because I really hate ambition
I hate hearing other people saying what they plan to do
When you know them, and you know they're just telling lies
I hate ambition with a passion, and I guess since I have no ambition, there's no way I can fail
I mean, how can I fail if there's nothing I really want to do?
If there's no goal? No mission? Nothing to accomplish?
It makes me think that the sky is the limit, because I can go anywhere I want
While the others with their 1 solitary plan go in that 1 narrow direction
I guess without ambition, all your doors are open
And with it, you're shutting the doors that might be the gateways to greatness.

No matter what, the past was always better
Think of your last summer... I bet you'll say it was better than this one
Was I right? Probably
We're always thinking of better times
And better times are always behind us
So what's so good about the future again? What is there to look forward to?
When all that "good stuff" is going on, you'll be thinking of something
Something that wasn't even close to being as great as the present
And you'll tell yourself
"Wow, everything was so much better back then..."
Tomorrow might be a better day
But no matter how miserable it could of been yesterday
I still want it back.
