my eyes flew open. i felt the overwhelming desire to look out my window and see ten inches of snow. which is weird because it's summer. it took me few seconds to convince myself that i wouldn't see any snow, find the snooze on my alarm, and talk myself out of the sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. letting something go isn't easy... especially for me because don't let much of anything go.
there is a problem with me. i'm a Dave Matthews' song sometimes... most of the time... i do everything just a little too much. the main thing being think. oh. and ruin things. i do that a lot, too.
i guess that's human. we always want something that we can't have... want mountains to move just because we don't want to climb them.... want snow in the middle of summer.
i went to visit a friend the other day. i walked into her beautiful house and sat down in the midst of the American Dream with 2.5 kids. .5 kept running up and down the stairs. We talked, i left, and i was sad. she has a house full of memories and stuff and love and dreams and kids and hope... and now cancer. and i really just think that sucks.
i guess that's life. always handing out little surprises that turn out to be exactly the opposite of what we want... taking away the things that we desire... or never letting us have them in the first place. ruining everyone's lives and eating all of our steak.
I think I am growing more cynical as each day passes. The disgust clouds my thoughts sometimes and I forget to do things like... well, look at the clouds. instead i look at friends behind bars, people hurting, and that damn animal shelter commercial.
Do we never get what we want? Don't the good guys win? Won't anyone adopt that poor kitten?
i don't know. i just know that i think i am losing faith... and hope has gone looking for it
