@doom-and-gloom-in-my-room The young fish was looking for this big glamorous thing, but it turns out he was already in it, not appreciating it for what it was.

Humans do the same thing, thinking “once in done with this I can start enjoying my life” “once I’m out of collage I can enjoy my life” “once I’ve lost weight I can enjoy my life”. But we’re already living, and if we don’t appreciate it while we’re here and alive we will miss it.

Hope that helped:)

If you haven’t seen the movie, the context is (spoilers upcoming): the protagonist (the man she’s speaking to) has wanted his whole life to get his break playing jazz. He gets a spot with this famous quartet (the headliner is the woman speaking to him; she plays the saxophone) and they have a fantastic show, but after the show he’s confused that getting his “dream” didn’t automatically fulfill him. He expected something to change. When he admits that to her, she tells him this story. Basically, he was living his life as one long sprint to one specific goal on the horizon, but in doing so, he was neglecting to appreciate the actual process of living. Once he achieved his goal, he realized he felt empty because he didn’t know what he was living for anymore. Part of the point of the movie is to learn that life itself is the point of living, and you don’t need one specific purpose--you just need to enjoy the process.

Also this is a reference to the famous David Foster Wallace speech This is Water which I highly recommend for anyone in need of some coming of age advice!
