Caveat: Expressions Ardently Unfettered

Yesterday,
All my troubles seemed so far away,
Now it looks as though they’re here to stay,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Yesterday,
Love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Oh God, I wish that I could forget yesterday.

Life’s not that easy, I guess. My yesterday is burned into my memory permanently. I used to be able to build myself back up after things went crappy. I feel like a patchwork quilt. Or maybe like the pieces of one, waiting to be sewn together, part of a new whole, made of remnants and broken pieces, but never the same as they once were.

Well, what I can lean on right now is the knowledge that tons of people have gone through what I’m going through and survived. Some not only survived, but recovered. Many went on to be happy. A few even became happier than they had ever before been. I hope I can move beyond simply surviving. I know I’ll be able to. I must.
