Today’s rant

Sometimes it feels like I wake up in a parallel universe.

Everything is fine today. Everything has gone to shit the very next day. 

We’re all elated today.
We’re all dejected the very next day.

We have everything that we need today.
We have suddenly lost everything the very next day.

We lived through the best of the times. 
But best of the times were not good enough so we chose worse.

Now we’re deep into this shit, 
We are all lamenting what we had. 

We didn’t respect or care for what we had, 
Now we can’t seem to care about what we have,
Because it isn’t what we had.

We’re stuck folks.
All I can say is this:

We’ll be fine.
Because that’s cycle of life. 
It’s fine today,
It’s shit tomorrow,
It’s awesome the day after,
Whatever the fuck it will be the day that follows.

I couldn’t love what I had, 
At-least I should make peace with what I have.
