The balance

The balance...the very essence of the word can wreak havoc on a normal persons psyche. The way you take the good and the bad in everyday life, deal with it and decide on which side you should lay your emotions.

After all, your normal right? You not a drug induced mental patient strapped with leather to a metal bed. Your not that nutjob on the street corner talking to himself, sleeping on a bench and sifting through a garbage can for dinner. You have bills, a wife, a mortgage and a dog. The American dream right? Only thing missing is the white picket fence, of which can easily be purchased at Home Depot for 69.99 per 6ft section, and installed in an afternoon.

But what is the American dream? Is it actually these things? Or can it be a situation where you are content in your own head, whatever you deem it to be. Hell it may be that you love fast women, partying and drugs. Or it could be where you live your life on a straight edge. Never wavering from the line that you think defines you, your IPOD in one hand and your Bible in the other.

But what about the 3rd way? Where you just feel like your swimming in circles within the cesspool that is society. You think you have achieved your goals. You think you have made your parents and family proud. You have met the sterotypes of life that started as early as when a caveman brought back a dead zebra for dinner. But at the end of the day it doesnt all add up. These things that you were taught your entire life to achieve, in reality are just a mirage. A mere reflection of who you really are and what you REALLY wanted to become growing up. Its a terrible feeling, a hopeless, blank feeling.

I dont know, I guess to each their own. Life goes no matter how you deal with it. Life doesnt care that your broke, or sick, or that you hate it. Life is life and yes life is a bitch sometimes, cliche not withstanding. Just when you think you have it figured out, it puts you down
