Life's Fuckin' Nuts

So I play along.

The angels said I would smile today.

Who needs angels anyway.

I could try to forget what you do,
When I let you get through to me,
But then you do it over again.

—Sara Bareilles - “Morningside”

It’s not always easy to speak your mind. Sometimes you need to be forced to do it. Sometimes it’s better to just keep things to yourself though. Play dumb. Even when your whole body is aching to come clean. So you shut your mouth. Keep the secret. And find other ways to make yourself happy.

The game.

This game.

What’s it about? It’s about power. About the status quo. About how you take it and make it bend in your favour. Rules? Only one. Don’t get attached.

When you’re younger, there’s no win or lose. Either way, you win. No strings attached, nothing to tie you down. As you get older, the game suddenly has 2 different outcomes. You could win, or you could lose everything. Stakes get higher.

The one who wins is the one who gets to walk away without getting hurt. The one who loses is the one who gets fucked over.

I used to be good at this game.

I’m not sure I’m all that good anymore. I’m not even sure I want to play anymore.

Someday everything will be ok & we will all be happy with the person we turned out to be because in the end none of it really matters.
