Do You Feel Trapped?
Do you ever feel trapped in your life?
Like, this is not the way you imagined things would be.
One minute you’re in high school, partying, not a care in the world.
The next, you’re raising a family.
Kids, bills, responsibilities.
What the fuck happened?
You dream of the days that have passed.
When life seemed simple.
Fun.
But now, it seems the ‘fun’ times are few and far between.
Yea, there are still times that you enjoy.
Times that make you smile. Even trigger a chuckle.
But not like the crazy shit that happened in your youth.
I know not everyone had a crazy mad childhood.
Where every day was a new adventure.
But those that did will know where I’m coming from.
Perhaps we should be thankful that we were lucky enough to experience such situations.
Such madness.
The madness that made us the people we are today.
And accept that this is how life is supposed to go.
Whichever stage in life you’re at try and embrace it.
You only have one chance at things — as far as we know — so try and look on the bright side of life.
Even it’s not immediately obvious at the time.
Times will be tough, you won’t always feel 100%, deal with it and make the moves that will put you on track to living the life you want, deep down inside.
