Relatable story a little further along than your own, is this your future or a path not open, not needed? Do you want to find out?

Wash away and suck out the dirt before moving on to paint over uneven surfaces. Does it disguise the imperfect? Do you want it to?

Set up a plan, stages of the future with one notable absence, saying without words your real feelings, expectations, of that impossible concept.

Four years of waiting until anticipation stopped and quiet acceptance settled. Now its end is greeted with disbelief, melting away into a happiness not felt in months and months of grief.

Awakened corpse renews your world and happiness falls into place, one you haven’t felt in quite some time.

Ten days of wanting but never reaching the end. Is there an end anymore? Has it already gone?

A heavier future to hold up, but you are determined to fight for it, raise it higher even if your arms break, even if it completely crushes you.

Revelations arriving sooner than you hoped, filling the months with purpose and a goal. Maybe, finally, a big enough distraction from the pending trial and verdict.

Restrict intake so sleep will be a reward, ready to rest between endless work, too tired for hobbies, too tired for happiness.

The constant ring of pressure verbalised makes eyes ache and temper strain. Always the same with no sympathy, how much more should you carry before snapping?
