Frustrations

I don't want to do this anymore.

I am tired.

I am hurt.

I am annoyed.

I am lost.

I want things to be different but I fear they never will be.

I am unfocused.

I am unrealistic.

I am sore.

I am weak.

I am unmoving.

I am reaching out for something that may never be.

I am trying.

I am stronger than I think.

I am growing.

I am not alone.

Life's distractions

Life is an abstract and we are writing the body of the paper.

Have you ever thought about life like it was a scientific paper you are trying to publish? It would go something like this:

Introduction/Background (childhood)

Name:
Age:
Sex:
Highest Education Level:
Career:
Life Goals:

Methods (college years and beginning adulthood)

How are you making money?
How are you sustaining you life?
How will marriage and children effect your life?
What are you doing to stay happy?

Results (middle age)

How did you make money?
How did you live?

Discussion (old age to death)

Were you happy?
What advice would you give to others based on your life?

If life were only so easy as to be able to write a paper about it.

But it's not. It's hard and messy and painful and gratifying and terrible and amazing and heartbreaking and filled with joy all at the same time.

I am struggling and I am tired.
