As a young adult one of my favorite authors was (and remains to be) Sarah Dessen. I felt like every book she wrote spoke to me personally. I'm out of the phas where I can relate to everything she writes but I still enjoy reading her books. Recently I re-read The Truth About Forever, and after the day I've had I feel like quoting a phrase one of the characters said. It may not be verbatim but you will get the gist of it....
"Doesn't it seem sometimes like the whole damn world is uphill?"Why yes, yes it does.
I could elaborate but really there is no point. I woke up after a night of practically zero sleep and my day only seemed to go uphill from there. Most people would say downhill but really isn't it harder to go up a hill than it is down. Perhaps everyone has been saying it wrong. Or perhaps, like every literary saying out there, there is more than one way of looking at things.
these simple phrases, "Everything went down hill" and "The whole world is uphill" essentially mean the same things. Life sucks. Things fall apart, and to be honest, shit happens. Go ahead raise your eyebrows at the way I choose to use my verbosity but I speaketh the truth. And while it may be a pessimistic view, sometimes life=shit.
That my friends has been my day. No matter how I've tried to force things otherwise, I've had a wham bam thank you m'am, can't change it, life sucks kind of day.
So for any of you out there also experiencing a craptastic day, fear not! You my friend and fellow are not alone. my brain hurts just thinking about it.
