This falls in line with the grass is greener on the other side, until it’s realized there is no other side.

How many people make their life how they think it should be only to turn around and complain about it. You made it a certain way because you thought it was your dream and yet when it becomes your reality it’s not long before you realize it isn’t as fulfilling as you thought it was going to be.
