We Can't Have It All

Friday, October 19, 2007

I’m sorry kids, we’ve been lied to. We can’t be anything we want to be. We have options, yes, but options can sometimes just make things more difficult. Sometimes the constant reinforcement becomes an expectation that we can do and be everything.

But we can’t. We can’t be married, single, and dating all at the same time. We can’t devote 100% of our energy to multiple passions. We may not live in a black and white world, but a life lived in gray can be like trying to see through fog.

And if we build up those expectations, like “I can give 100% to my work, social life, and personal time” and “that a new guy is everything you wanted and won’t dissappoint you” are bound to eventually leave you broken. The only difference is that intead of the walls crashing down, it’s more like a slow crack that spreads across the ceiling.

That’s my long winded way, abstract of saying sorry for the hiatus and stories to come soon…but don’t get your hopes up
