Maybe I'm barely alive...

Failure is inevitable. Especially when you have your hand in so many honey jars. The way forward isn't always clear, and what you thought is everything falling into place, might just be everything falling apart. It's hard to determine where you are in the story of your journey as its unfolding in front of your eyes. What may seem as a steep upheaval, can very well turn into an abrupt downfall. I guess there is no real answer, but to accept that not all things shall go as we planned. As we hoped. As we dreamt. Our existence is funny that way. Never quite what we expect, yet never more than we bargained for. Exactly what we need, but never completely what we predict. A whirlwind of emotions and thought, a geyser of anguish and happiness all burst into one single, glorious manifestation of something so simple, yet so unique. Something so intricate, yet elementary. One single word that defines logic, and escapes meaning, yet is so easy to understand. Something you don't have to be afraid of, because it's just ... life.
