you know, i know that there are a lot of people that have huge struggles going on, and i deeply sympathize with them.  but right now, today especially, i just feel like my life is forever doomed to be one step short of what i want it to be.  today is the day where my life feels like it's falling apart at the seams, and then the personified life f' ( Read more... )
