These lyrics are resonating with me today:
"Sometimes there's airplanes I can't jump out
Sometimes there's bullshit that don't work now
We are God of stories but please tell me
What is there to complain about?"
There are times when you're stuck in a bad situation and don't know how to fix it, when you just want to run and hide and escape but you can't because there is no escape or easy answer. It's just the way it is. There are times when the inherent suckiness of life takes over and you can't see through the muck. But those times don't last as long as you think they will. And when they're over, they feel like distant memories that, hopefully, left you with some good perspective and life experience. Even so, life is really really good and you can't give up.
I need to be reminded of this every once in awhile, when I sink into periodic bouts of depression that make me want to curl up and disappear. And then something happens, like a dinner party that reminds me of the amazing caliber of people I am lucky enough to call my friends, that turns it all around and helps me out of the funk.
Despite the times that make you want to scream and cry, the good moments do happen. They will happen. And when they do, you'll be so glad that you're able to enjoy them, so appreciative that you can share them with people you love.
