Hi Medusa, I sympathize.
Trying to "stay awake" through your life is no easy task. It's a constant battle.

Cling, living "in the moment"
is just how I am. Each situation brings it's own possibilities. If you think you know the answers before you begin, it's impossible to see reality.

Hi Cynthia.....Cool post and thought-provoking....
Boy, sleep-walking. I can understand where you're coming from. I do it myself, too. Sometimes I feel like Rumplestilskin, remember that dude who fell asleep and then awoke so many years later? Well, sometimes I'm living life, but so many things are escaping me or not being done or left unsaid, and time marches on and I end up wondering, how time could pass so quickly and why hadn't I reacted in a certain manner. Hope that makes sense.

No right way to do anything...
God I wish I could see things like you do!!  It's like I'm on a roller-coaster.  One day I think I'm queen of the world and that I can do anything, and anybody that doesn't like it can f-themselves.  The next day I think about what others will think of me if they find out I did 'this or that'.  I consider myself an existentialist to a degree.  BUT I do have limits.  Although I wonder what would happen if I stepped over that line??

"It is impossible to know ANYTHING! There is some relief in being able to say this. It then makes it possible to do anything you want, try anything, as there is no "Right Way."  "

Yes, great this, and so helpful luv, as I struggle with life after grief. There is no "Right Way" just my way, and I am going to fly away to California on the 26th and get out of it all. Love your writing kiddo
