Break from life

in new •  7 years ago 

Lately I feel like an over inflated balloon ready to pop.

I'm self employed and I work alone. So I have my business to tend to everyday as well as taking care of my personal life.

On top of all my responsibilities I have friends who come to me to vent their problems because they know I keep their secrets and don't discuss them with anybody else. It gets so overwhelming at times that I'm not sure I can hang on.

Now next week my mom goes in to have metal rods put in her spine and the day after my wife goes to have her second cancer surgery.

Sometimes I wish I could just take off and fly free as a bird. Soar up above the clouds, drop all my worries and cares and watch them crash and burn as I dive in and out of the clouds. Buzz the tree tops then reach up to try and touch the moon.

I seriously need a break from life. Forget everything and live in the moment just for me.

All I can say is:

WOOF IT AND STEEM ON

I understand how overwhelming it can all get. I didn't know how bad you felt and I'm truly sorry for being MIA these past two days (no matter what). Just hang on because we need the evil Dawg to continue misbehaving.

Never thought I would hear you say that.

I know! Now I think I'm going into convulsions!😜

Don't do that (at least while I'm not there to take pictures 😉)

😱😅😅😅😅😅😅

beautiful shot

Thank you

Oh wow
That must be very stressful for you
You know what helps me at times of hardship? I try to think of all the things that I DO have, such as a shelter, a family, and an income. Imagine if you were living without an income, or a house that you can relax in at the end of the day! Life always makes us forget what we have and we start focusing on the things we don't have which only makes us more miserable :)

True. It just gets so overwhelming at times.

I know, it can be. Just stay positive :)

Keep fighting and don't give up! Good things happen to good people eventually. I wish you the best of luck :) Here is a happy song for you:

we are simple person and we have to take every step by thinking twice .sometimes unwanted things come in front of us that we feel batter to hide our self because its hard to face . all is happen due to money.

Many problems occur due to financial problems, its true. Still, facing a problem is always the best option. By ignoring it, it only gets roots and harder to solve in time

Thanks I needed that.

You are welcome :)

Self-employed here, and also work alone. It's a tough thing. I don't talk to others much, and I'm fully responsible for what I get done or don't get done, and sometimes it's hard to have to worry about everything on your own. The temptation to say 'to hell with it all' is sometimes very great, I won't argue that.

But I know that some of the alternatives would be much worse. At least you and I both don't have to answer to a boss, or deal with co-workers, or have to drive an hour in the morning in heavy traffic, and have to do the same at the end of the day.

Despite that, it's still hard to have perspective, since your mind is already used to the blessings you already have.

You understand so well.
