*broken crayons still color*
Well... this one was tough. I may as well share the journaling, lol!
I don’t totally get how this even works,
how we can be so messed up sometimes
and still function and raise semi-normal
kids and keep a house together. I
love being with him, even when I wonder
how we’re possibly together. I look around
at other marriages, comparing our relatioship
with other couples that just seem to have
their act together, and I feel like
we’re miserable failures. . . but somehow
we keep trucking along, working through
issues (sometimes) one at a time, not
exactly successfully, not completely failing.
I wonder if this is just what life is,
if my romanticized ideal of marriage
and family isn’t as realistic as I think it’s
supposed to be. 17 years of ups and downs.
I hope the trend is ‘up.’
Mostly used Lauren Grier's Everything Will Be Ok.
