I have come to realize that life has become a series of “survival” sequences

but without the gravity of the actual danger of death.

One crisis after another, but all they really amount to are hassles that get in the way,

causing anxiety. Then the same old fears. This repeats over and over.

What will happen next?

How do I overcome this?

When really, most of it doesn’t matter,

yet I can’t find my way out of these scenarios. I can’t turn the corner.

Obstacles breed obstacles, and suddenly, I feel like I haven’t achieved anything at all.

I haven’t gone anywhere at all, but time has passed.

Summer arrives, and nothing changes.

I’m close to what it will take to turn the corner, but I can’t quite get there.
