I had some terrible news today. Crying hurts. It makes my mouth all salty and sore.
Does the frailty of human existence ever scare you?
It scares me, for sure. This year, no, these last two months, that's been thrown home to me like nothing else.
So many material things will consume us - most of us are in debt - most of us strive for some form of "career" - most of us feel like we need to live up to expectation - most of us worry about having enough money - most of us worry about how we look - most of us worry about how "cool" we are. But we get carried away with that and forget what's really important.
I never thought being an adult would be easy, but does it get any harder? Sometimes I wonder what's the worst it could be? And it's all relative, right?
Right.
Every day feels worse. Somethings get better for a few days. But then it all blows apart and scrunches back together in a tighter, more complicated knot.
Yet, I still have hope - I see other people out there coping with worse situations than mine - and I even see people "making it", and I think... I can do it.
I just wonder if those people had anyone to show them the way; to help them along. Do I need to wait for my muse, or is it through my own struggles that I might come free?
