WARNING: ADULT LANGUAGE, REALITIES AND PUNS AHEAD
Lets be honest; life is a fucked up place (it needed to be said).
For those who don’t agree, I’m sincerely happy for you. In fact, I envy you. Whatever world you live in that does not involve hardship, pitfalls, heartache and repetitive loss and disappointment is a world I would love to be in. Hell! if it means being naive and not understanding the true realities of the world, then so be it. I will become the definition of clueless.
Writer's and dreamers create alternate realities everyday to make daily life just a tad bit easier. To help themselves and others create a 'Gateway to Get-away." We create hope, dreams, and goals, in an attempt to provide ourselves with a means for a better outlook on life.
If you understand what its like to shun hope and fear expectations or to not look for the rainbow or that unreachable pot at the end..I get you. How can you expect rainbows when all you’ve been dealt are thunderstorms?
Nearly half the world lives on less than $5.50 a day. Extreme poverty isn't as widespread, but people struggle just to survive every hour--every day. If physical and emotional struggles weren't enough, here comes financial struggle to make it all better.
After a while tired doesn’t begin to explain how much you are done with everything. Done with the playlist on repeat when the only song playing is disappointment in a loop. Everyone stops aspiring and settling with even being ‘just okay’.
We fight everyday until the battle begins to seem unwinnable. We try to stand but the aches and pains from being beaten down make standing tall an unachievable feat. We crawl our way forward, but our swollen eyes beaten by life’s reality make it hard to see anything but loss.
I'm not here to tell you things will get better or that if you try a bit harder things will change. WHY? because that is not reality. That is a phrase we repeat to ourselves pushed by hopes and dreams of a better tomorrow. The truth is, life is unfair and things might remain as they are for a very very long while if cards do not play in your favour.
Life is dealt differently for everyone. Some people get luckier than others. Yes i said it..lucky!
Those who make it often say that others do not try hard enough and everything they don't have is no fault but their own. That is complete shit. Some people work hard all their lives and fight everyday just to be granted the bear minimum of an existence. This is the truth.
What I am here to tell you is that struggles and life being a shitty place will remain. The only thing you have control of in this life is yourself. So lets look as that as a positive if all we have are negatives.
We often take for granted what we have or who we have in our lives. That is understandable. Why? Because after fighting and hoping for so long to keep on the right path to a better route, we often get lost. We lose sight of what we have in search or what we need in order to achieve a better tomorrow.
Life is shittier for some people more than others. This is true. So how are we similar?
What we go through everyday shape us into who we are as individuals. Being able to take a positive grip of everyday helps makes things a little less shitty. This outlook will not be possible everyday and sometimes weeks will go by with only negatives surrounding you. Its realistic that we get engulfed by our pain, but there needs to be a positive.
The family you have, the breath in your lungs, the sun you see when you wake up. There is something! If nothing else, you are the only one who can tell yourself that life has its positives. Don't worry about how many negatives there are just think about that positive even it its the only dim light in your darkness.
Life will fuck you over and over again, its your choice to decide if your going to enjoy it (All dirty puns intended)
