Life is not perfect.
It shouldn't be.
Things need to be
difficult. They need to be annoying or frustrating. Because without those
unpleasant moments, you will never know the joy of having a moment when
everything feels almost perfect. As we grow up, life becomes less about the
simple worries of a child and more about survival. You work to eat, to have a
home, and to be able to occasionally find those small moments that make you
feel like you would not change your life for the world. When you find those
almost perfect moments everything inside of you clicks and you grab that moment
and hold it as tight as you can. You cherish it and snuggle it because you know
that it is only for a moment.
Then, when things
become unpleasant once again or the routine of the day makes you feel like you
are trapped in an infinite loop, you resurrect that moment in your mind and
cherish it all over again.
There is a duality
to life that cannot be avoided. To have happiness you must have sorrow. To be
happy you must also be sad.
And to understand
that life is not perfect and that once in a while you will find those almost
perfect moments makes it that much easier to accept the unpleasant feelings of
stress and desperation.
Life is not hard. As
long as you have the courage to accept it for what it is and what it will never
be.
