I’m lonely this morning.

We’ve slept on the couches in the front room four days in a row now.

I’m so tired from work. I’m falling asleep in the bath as I write this.

Sometimes I wish we could pause life, just take a break for a day or two. Pick it up when it feel less like you’re strapped into a roller coaster.

There’s a well known story in the UK about one of the major theme parks. It’s that one of the rides in particular malfunctioned and one of the carriages crashed into one of the other carriages and people were badly injured. One girl lost her legs. I can’t help but feel like those people must have seen it coming. Like there was normal fear and screams from riding a roller coaster, then they saw the other carriage. They must have known they were gonna crash. There was nothing they could do. Strapped in.

Every corner we take as we go round and round this roller coaster of life I keep feeling like there’s a carriage in front of us. And we can’t stop. And we can’t tell anyone because there’s no one to tell. And we’re gonna hit. And someone’s gonna get hurt. And now I’m crying.
