“placeholder” syndrome

Posted by pseudoname on June 9, 2006, at 12:19:13

That's what I have. (I just invented it.)

I look at my current existence as if it were just a placeholder for my "real" self or my "real" life, which will begin… shortly.

I've looked at myself this way for most of the last 25 years.

I need to stop doing that.

What if this is as good as it gets? (Jack Nicholson's great line in the pdoc's waiting room in "As Good As It Gets".)

…as real   …as important   …as significant   …as meaningful   …as satisfying as it gets?
