Have you ever noticed that no matter how far you’ve come, how well things may be going, there’s always something that has to complicate things, or make them unpleasant? I admit I’m understating the issue somewhat… usually there are several somethings competing for the chance to bring you down, throw a wrench into the works, or what-have-you. Apparently, life is just a series of crises; usually the interval between them is either brief or nonexistent.

The absolute worst part is when you realize that there’s probably nothing at all you can do that’ll actually make things genuinely better.

But, what the hell. Life is all about keeping at it even when things look dire, right? At least, it’s gotten me this far…
