what if the voices don't wake us?
is there a difference between days being spent pleasantly and living a good life? or is it just a matter of degree? and isn't quiet desperation just the human condition? isn't loud desperation just obnoxious?

i feel like i don't try hard enough at life, like most of the time i'm coasting. but especially when i think of people on tv and in movies and the achievements of friends and associates, or people in books, i wonder if i am not trying hard enough and need to be doing "more".

yeah, that. i have been in a funk like that recently, which is actually not at all like me. is it depression? with my mom dying, husband cheating and doing god knows what else, and health problems popping up again i'm a little overwhelmed.
each day is a fresh chance. sometimes if i force myself to do everything extra fast i start waking up again. i dunno.

i'm like this all the time. i've always been torn between the possibilities of life. sorry about your mom, your relationship difficulties, and health issues. that's big stuff. my whole life i've sort of lived like someone with one month to live, unable to decide what to do. it's so easy to just watch the cats and look out the window....

there is a bit of dignity to most every perspective and each person has to decide their own path. but if you aren't content anymore then i hope there's a way to break out of the pattern. then again, you may be right about the medicine.
