a good number of people have said to me in the past, "maybe you're
supposed to be learning something from all of this," or something of
the like. and i'll be honest, it irritated the h*ll outta me. i didn't
tell them to shut the h*ll up because, really, they were trying to
help. but that's just some b.s. we shovel on people to help them try
to make some sense of the stuff that goes on in our lives that we
can't possibly understand. i just nodded and moved on, a little bit
more bitter for having endured the conversation. but, maybe... maybe i have learned something. and all the people who said that to me
were actually on to something after all. so, taking a step back and some internal inventory, i think what i've
learned is this. you get on a plane that is supposed to go to hawaii,
but instead lands in siberia. you can either learn to enjoy siberia or
be forever bitter that you didn't land in hawaii. i'll be honest, there's not a lot to explore here in siberia, but i'm
kinda enjoying the quiet. i'd be lying if i said i wouldn't like a
hand to hold from time to time though. ghost
