the way it is

there are times when it is just the way it is.

and there is nothing you can do about it, because it really is just the way it is. so you take what comes your way, and deal with it the way you have to. you adapt. because what else can you do?

sometimes, you feel like crap. sometimes, you feel like you're being pushed in every direction. sometimes, you feel like you're being pushed away. sometimes, you just are made to feel stupid, underappreciated, too uptight. and very seldom, but it still is there, you feel equal parts of being a stranger or an intruder.

do you feel that way?

but when that comes, you take it all in your stride. for what else is there to do? sometimes, people are just the way they are, and to change them would mean not accepting them. to change them could mean hurting either yourself or the other party. to change them would mean that they aren't themselves. and you wouldn't wanna change anyone to not be themselves. for that is who you love.

so what do you do but to just take it all in stride. take a deep breath. then take it in stride and adapt.

it all takes getting used to.
