HIDDEN ROOTS

Days like today prove to me that I am not invincible.
Days like today remind me of how helpless I feel, knowing that my best friend is hundreds of miles away, hurting in numerous ways and there’s not a goddamned thing I can do about it.
Days like today are prime examples of how some people can be entirely smart without being the slightest bit bright.
Days like today show that the one thing that means the least in this world, money, is the one thing that almost every other single thing is dependent on.
Days like today, tears can come easily.
Days like today can be cloudy even when the sun is in the sky.
Days like today are the days no one wishes for.
Days like today find no comfort.
I walked home at lunch to take the dogs outside. The tears I fought so hard to blink back the entire way started to fall the minute that I opened the door. There is something about a canine’s love that is entirely unconditional and which radiates on some supernatural level. However, there are still hours left in the day so I had no choice but to “suck it up” and dry my eyes. Four o’clock will not come soon enough, and all I crave is hot tea and a warm blanket. The irony in that is that those simple comforts only serve as examples of how days like today ask me that for all the care for others I pour out, who is there to care for me at the end of the day?
