The grass is always greener on the other side.
I've heard this quote many times growing up. I think when I was younger I took it literally and really thought on the other-side of the world maybe the grass really is a bit greener. Now, years later, I'm pretty sure there is just a lot of deserts on the other side of the world and i've seen some mighty fine grass around my neighborhood.
What does the quote seem to mean to me now? I think whoever came up with it meant that its easy to think everything looks better outside of where you are and you've been drawn the short straw. When In reality most people are thinking the same things as you, no ones grass is actually any greener then yours.
I think everyone has a little unhappiness in life. You can't have the good with out the bad, its only fair. The best years of my life were the ones that seemed terrible and unhappy at the time, its the only times in my life that I actually learnt anything about myself. They helped me become the person I am today.
