Yesterday, I had a moment of weakness. A rare moment of vulnerability, and I hated it, but I needed it. I was in the car and the song "Wonderful" by Everclear came on the radio. As I sang along and listened to the words, it hit me. I completely relate to this song, in a way I never have before. My parents first separated three years ago, and their divorce was finalized last December. It still hasn't gotten easier, and I am still learing to deal with it. As the song came to the end,
♫ ... I don't want to start over againI just want my life to be the sameJust like it used to beSome days, I hate everythingI hate everythingEveryone and everything ♫
I did the only thing I knew how to do. I pulled my car over, and cried. I cried for a good four minutes, and then realized that I felt stupid, and that other drivers probably thought I was nuts. I don't wish my parents were still together, I realize that things are better this way. A lot of blessings have come out of this change, including stronger relationships with most of my family members. But still, it's hard sometimes.
I'm so sorry...no matter our age, it is hard. ALSO, i LOVE the picture today...your "photographer's" reflection in the picture is fun!
