Re: Venting, feel free to join in

[(Anonymous)]

I get it, anon. My life isn't terrible and I'm very fortunate in many ways... I have a family who loves me, I'm reasonably healthy, I'm not in danger of being homeless, etc. But it still irks me sometimes that life feels very much like a case of "getting by" rather than succeeding. I'm not where I'd like to be, and I've got limited control over how much progress I can make towards that goal. It's frustrating as hell.

AYRT—thanks for understanding, although I’m sorry you do, too. I’m getting by, more or less treading water, because metaphorically I survived a couple of shipwrecks and near drownings. Making it to shore is an achievement, even if the shore is of a desert island and I’ll never reach the mainland. I just wish I could, anyway, but to exhaust a metaphor, I’m tired of swimming.

I hear that. It's not logical, but I sort of feel like... I've had my fair share of hardships? It's also a case of just not having the emotional resources to withstand more hardships and not being in a secure enough place where I can build those emotional reserves back up, you know? I'm still fighting to keep my head above water and I get bitter and resentful when people complain about how their luxury raft doesn't have enough cupholders.
