Silver Hairs

There are a lot of different kinds of stress that run rampant in the world.  We deal with them in different ways.  Some stress is good and some stress is bad.  We grow and mature and sometimes, we end up folding under the pressure.  I've been fighting this battle with stress and I see the toll it's taking on me. I feel the way it makes me tired and the way it turns my thoughts in directions they would not have gone otherwise.  I've learned to manage it to an extent but it is a sly beast and jumps out at random times.  I know that talking to friends is the only way that I fight off this stress effectively.  It's the times where I can't ignore how lonely my life has become that I get overwhelmed.  I thought that by now, I would adjust and move on but I haven't.  I'm not sure that I ever will be able to.  That is okay.  

If anyone ever needs someone to talk to, feel free to reach out.  Life tends to be a cruel teacher.  We have to learn to forgive ourselves our moments of weakness and our bad decisions.  Not everything is lost.  The answer sometimes just isn't so clear.
