Bracing for the possible

so disconcerting is the world that you can do every single fucking thing right, make every single correct move, be the dream of one's epitomized dream, and still fucking fail.

yes.

part of being alive is coming to terms with the fact that lots of things are fucked up.

and the possibility that one's "perfect" world can be destroyed.

at

any time.

when all is well, we tend to block out this reality, thinking, 'oh, it'll never happen to me.'

and then one day you wake up...
...and it's totally fucking you.

BAM!!!

i think part of being a healthy, intelligent being is recognizing that this can happen at any time. enjoy what you have, but never lose the sense that it can all be gone.
forever.

and rather quickly.

it's not quite saying you shouldn't ever let your guard down, because if you don't open yourself up, you'll certainly miss out on some of life's more extreme pleasures.

but just never lose sense of the idea that you don't know shit about shit. be ready to react.

on the fly.

and let me tell ya:

that ain't easy.
