Enough

This is going to be a short post—a quick rant if you will—to say that I’m exhausted. Mentally, physically, emotionally—you name it. A lot has been happening in my life recently and it seems like none of it is good. Every time I turn around something terrible is happening to someone that I know or love. Job losses, premature babies, divorces, and even the death of a 9 month old to brain cancer—the bad news just keeps on coming. I feel like I’ve been living in an alternate universe, kind of like in Back to the Future 2 where Marty goes to the alternate 1985 that Biff has created and everything is completely trashed and wrong.

Where did this black cloud come from and can I go home yet? Please?

I hate that not only have things been kind of shitty in my life but that my friends are going through such difficult times a well. I wish there was something I could do to make things better for all of us. It just doesn’t seem fair. I'm well aware that we all face hardships and that things could always be worse, but is it really necessary for everything to happen all at once? I mean really???  So, I’d like to take this moment to say please, if there is a God out there who cares at all, can you give my friends and I a break? I've had really difficult winters the last couple of years and was sort of hoping this one would be different.

Thanks. Pity party over.
