backwards

Our minds and the world we live in seem to operate in strange ways. It seems to me that a fair amount of the time we get the opposite of what we want.

When we want time to speed up, it slows to a crawl.

When we wish the world would slow down and wait for us, someone presses fast forward.

When we need some distance, we find ourselves the closest.

When we get the closest, the world pushes us apart.

When we want to love, love seems to hide.

When we do love, we wish it would've stayed hidden.

Sometimes we expect to be strong, but instead we weep.

And sometimes when we're expected to weep, we're stronger than we ever thought we could be.

That's the way it goes though.

When life starts making sense you know that you've lost it completely.

It doesn't have to make sense for you to enjoy it though.
