Life is Funny Sometimes

Life is funny sometimes. It lets you think you've got it almost all figured out, just to prove to you that you actually haven't got the first clue. Life often leads you to believe one thing only for you to be hit hard by something else, something unexpected. Life isn't fair, but there are times when it fools you into thinking it is. Life doesn't let you try things over. It won't slow down and explain things to you. It won't speed things up and let you bypass difficulties. Life promises to always ask you trick questions, and to always throw you curve balls. This isn't the game of life where everyone is guaranteed a stop along the road for schooling, a career, marriage, a home, and a cozy retirement at the end. Life is not a game. Life will try you from different angles. It can make you feel alone and isolated, like a patient with an unknown disease that no one has ever experienced before. Sometimes life can make you feel like what you feel isn't worth saying since everyone's been there before. Life will constantly play with your emotions, and then tell you that what you're feeling is wrong. Life will shuffle your priorities and mess with your thinking. In life, right and wrong will never be as definite as right and left. In life, laughter can be mean and tears can show joy. Lies are often only one step from the truth, and sometimes the truth can be more dreadfully painful than the lie. Life won't give you answers, only more questions. Life is funny sometimes.
