Definition of wistful
I think I am more of a realist than I would have thought.
I see a picture of beautiful landscape hundreds of miles away, and my brain goes: "That's beautiful. Its a shame you'll never get to see it in person. I mean just think about it; when would you be able to afford a trip to Germany? Pfft the plane ticket alone is more than one whole paycheck, don't be ridiculous."
I mean, brain is right, obviously. I do feel jipped by all those oh-so inspiring movies snd books and sayings: "you can do anything!" Or "nothing is impossible!"
Maybe if I didn't mind being homeless. Without a car. Or my dogs.
Lol like people telling you to do what you love, then looking down their noses at it, full of concern; "how will you live off of that? Do you have a backup plan?" Liars. Ha.
Full of yearning or desire, tinged with melancholy. I wistfully peer at pictures of far-away places and know I'll never get there.
Le Sigh.
