Sometimes life is hard. Bad things happen constantly and you don't tell anyone. It is like going through a dark tunnel with like at the end, but you never make it to the end. You are constantly trying to get into the light and you fail. The tunnel lengthens. The light dims and you redouble your efforts just to be smacked down in the end. So you turn to distractions. You spend money, make love to your spouse, watch your favorite television show, play a game, anything to get your mind off of you failing to get out of the tunnel. You keep telling yourself you will make it. Road blocks are put up in your path and you have to hurdle them. Your afraid there might be one you can't get over. You get tired. You want to quit. No. You must press on. The dark tunnel is no place for you to live. Just keep moving, just keep moving, moving moving...
You need another distraction: music, surf the web, read your sisters blog, watch a cartoon, build a magic deck, play with your kids on the trampoline, go for a bike ride to the park, eat, eat more, surf the web, bid on ebay, tell yourself you can't spend anymore money, but never tell anyone that you feel like you are failing at leaving this damn dark long tunnel.
Remeber the good things in life. The best distraction of all. Hopefully it is enough to get you another length of the tunnel. Alas another bad thing happens and once again you are ready to quit. Give up give in. You are never going to make it....
