Sometimes life is insane. Somedays are better than others. Other days, I want to eat a pack of cigarettes. This is one of those days. The thing that comforts me in times like this is that "it's just a moment, this time will pass." Sometimes I get stuck and forget, then I realize: this too shall pass. Insanity feels like someone has a hold of your spine and won't let go no matter how you wriggle and squirm; no matter how you cuss or fight, they just won't let you go. It is that consuming. Today my insanity it great, and the only thing bigger than insanity is God. God help me.
