. . . Anatomy of Grey . . .

Sometimes reality has a way of sneaking up and biting us in the ass.

We're adults. When did that happen? And how do we make it stop?

Maybe we're not supposed to be happy. Maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy.

It's not so important happy ever after, just that it's happy right now.

You just have to ride it out, hope it goes away on its own, hope the wound that caused it heals. There are no solutions, no easy answers, you just breath deep and wait for it to subside.

Most of the time pain can be managed but sometimes the pain gets you where you least expect it. Hits way below the belt and doesn't let up.

Pain, you just have to fight through, because the truth is you can't outrun it and life always makes more.

It's not perfect, but it's life. Life is messy sometimes.
