Many people I know feel this way. Myself included, in many respects. But we manifest it in different ways and don't talk about it, what with being busy trying to power through our lives and all... Our society has (and I choke on the word I'm about to use) evolved such that we don't thrive. How could we, in our insular lives? How could we in our private homes, cars, computers, commutes, over-scheduled, under-joyed lives? We were not meant for this. Where is the town square, the extended family, the security, the permanence? It doesn't exist for most of us any more. And it is fucking HARD.

there. feel better? Ummmm... I should prolly have said something uplifting, huh? :-)

I do find lots of joy in my life, truly.

But it is an act of will, and sometimes it gets beyond me to do anything beyond that, so the laundry goes undone and my bedroom is a mess with I-don't-even-know-what. And possibly my allergies owe a little something to my stress level? Hmmmm.
