Either Way, It Still Hurts

t’s no easier when you’re older, and no simpler when you’re young. Neither one is particularly comforting over the other – the questions are the same size. Empty spaces have no shelf life, no sell-by date or deadline, just this one-size-fits-all sensibility… There’s no ‘right age’, no countdown to expiration. Time spent is precious. ‘Fully lived’ is an illusion. Option D – none of the above; either way it still hurts. Don’t you dare tell me it’s part of the plan I’m failing to see. Wish someone would shut my eyes.
