finding the time

Our internet's been out in our apartment lately, making it difficult for the spontaneous blogs I envisioned when I started this. So, here I have a few moments - in a different setting, with different pressures.

I suppose life is a lot like the situation I'm now in to write a blog. The ideal situation never really happens. The perfect, easy opportunity never really comes to pass. It's almost like the partial, challenging, condensed and minimal version is all you ever really get. Nothing happens easily - not relationships, true accomplishment, growth or change. I suppose you have to celebrate the little movements - the half-assed versions of the dreams you may have. Otherwise, you're left with a series of unfulfilled expectations and frustration at life, for "not being fair", which really means "why can't life be the way I want it?"

Contentment with reality...what a concept. What a challenge.
