A song not for now you need not put stay,
A tune for the was may be sung for today,
The notes for the does not will sound as the does,
Today you can sing for the will be that was.

--Walt Kelly

What is "the will be that was", anyway? All the things you thought you were going to do with your life that didn't happen?

That's sad.

That is sad. These days I think my entire life is "the will be that was".

I try not to think about it like that too much. I remember when I graduated from college and anything was possible. I suppose it still is, but now I know how much work it takes to get most things.
