human nature?

Eustacia seemed to constantly have her dreams and hopes elude her -

I caught up with a friend today and he seemed all too lost about what he seems to want. And then somehow we ended up talking about certain enduring qualities of love and it seemed all too ideal when we agreed we always look beyond the superficial. superficiality breeds insecurity because we all know that we arent all that charming(plus the fact that i dont have a smile worth a gazillion bucks). superficiality breeds doubt cos we know whatever meagre we have now is temporal and would disappear all too soon. superficiality is a guilt charged on each and everyone of us cos we practice is subconsciously. i pray i'll wiggle my way out of this web.

even if you chose to grasp onto something so tightly, it'll still slip through your fingers.
