It is often said that something possessed, rarely retains the same charm it had in the persuit?

Do you believe that to be true?
Why?

Yes.... and I dunno...have to think about it more and come back

Ok...I thought about it more .... It's the excitement that disappears...the newness of something. BUT... some will find more charm to things or people, once they have it or are with it. It really depends on what it is and how one truly feels about it. But...initial excitement is always replaced with either something more or something less.

Design your own reality.

Sometimes you build up in your mind how great something would be if you just had it. You work really hard to get it. The pursuit of the thing is all you can focus on....put all your energies on. Then, you find out it just wasn't what you thought it would be.

Sometimes I think it is just unhappiness. If I could just afford that vacation.....if I could just take a day off.....if I just bought that house.....

sometimes this is true...but not when it comes to things that really matter...

i aslo thing it depends onthe individual and how they appreciuate things.... i tend to very appreciative of things so i hardly ever take thier value for granted

Except for that special relationship, very few things in my life maintains the charm, freshness and newness that it originally had.

I get bored very easily.

As far as relationship goes, I learned the hard way.
A relationship is like a garden. Over time, it gathers all the weeds and foliage of life...unless you nourish, prune and till its soil to enhance growth...as well as to protect it with the pesticides of trust and good communcations.
