This Too Shall Pass...

That statement used to bring me comfort... it used to remind me that no matter how violent or dark the storm may be, that there is always sunshine waiting on the other side... another day... another moment to look forward to. In fact, for those who know me I have probably even tried to convince them of this fact on one or more occasions.

This past year was filled with so many changes in my life. It's as if there is barely a trace of the life I once led, and although I'd like to think that what I have replaced it with is more fulfilling and happy, there are moments when I'm not so sure it is.

I don't regret the decisions I have made, or the paths that I have taken. I'm thankful for each one and the different things I have been able to experience along the way. But today as I ponder all of it, I realize that at this very moment I'm just tired. So exhausted in fact that I'm not necessarily even sure that this will pass.

It seems that every time I get through one rough time... there is always another one waiting for me on the other side. Is this really how life should be? Should life, love and the pursuit of happiness really be this difficult? Or am I pursuing something completely unattainable?
