Life you funny little thing: You’ve kicked me hardest when I’m down yet you’ve lifted me to unfathomable heights. Tonight I’m sitting here, at rock bottom in my 16th floor apartment balcony, living through this maelstrom of emotions and there’s nothing I can do but hold on tight hardly knowing where you’ll take me next. Life you funny little thing: you’ve taught me to improve on everything that I believe in yet you threaten to take it away in a single instant. Life, you odd little ball of uncertainty, you’ve shown me things that I would never have dreamed of and promised me the world of happiness never telling me when it will be mine and when it won’t anymore.
Today’s been a rollercoaster. What started off with the sight of a friend’s tear-stained face in the morning, unraveled into a series of inconsequential, then high-strung, then inconsequential moments. Difficult decisions plagued my mind, sometimes giving me strength, other times just barely seeing me through. All this as I did my best to function for an office-full of seemingly functional colleagues. Today, life reminded me that I will never know what lies around the corner. And whether that’s a good thing, or whether rock bottom from the 16th floor is still rock bottom, the truth is this: that’s—just—life. I’ll just have to do the best I can, then sit back and watch the moon rise.
