There sure is enough pain in the world, I know I've had my share. Lately I've begun to think that I could reduce the pain if I could just let go of the idea that bad things are not supposed to happen. It's not possible for life to be easy and smooth, not for anyone, anywhere. Yet I torture myself with thoughts that that's how I want my life to be, easy and lovely. If I let go of my expectations, my deepest wishes, and face what I must the best way I know how without the drama, I may not be able to have the life I want but I can be the me I want to be.
