Bits and pieces



I've been trying to work out a balance between accepting someone for who they are - especially when part of who they are affects me so negatively!  How do I find that balance or even just pick up a scrap of love and happiness when there is such a constant struggle?  So far, I have completely lost it.  

I have days when I feel utterly destroyed, mangled by the constant criticism, by the devalued position I stand in, the royal bullsh*t that's flows constantly.  The demoralization that has taken every last bit of joy and smashed it to smithereens. 

I lay in bed for days, with my pajamas wrapped around me.  Laying in the darkness, wondering what the F*CK am I doing here?  Why does this never, ever change?!  Communication is reduced to kids, weather and sports – and of the last two, I don’t give a flying pink pig about.

For a while, I was set for departure, ready to get the hell out.  But as I thought more on that, looked at that road as far out as I could, I realized that my heart begs to love, begs to be loved and is yet broken at the pain. 

So the question I ask myself every.single.damn.day is this:

Does love really conquer all?
