Going through the motions of being human

Do you ever feel like life's too much?
People tell you it's tough... just suck it up.
Come on. Move on. You got to be strong.
Got to pretend like nothing's wrong.
Days become weeks and weeks become years.
There's no time for all those tears.
Don't you know there are others depending on you?
Of course I know.. that's my cue...
to keep on moving, to keep being strong,
to keep pretending like nothing's wrong.

I feel like "life's too much" every day and I may never feel otherwise, but I also know there is a purpose. This life is short (it goes by in the blink of an eye even though it may not seem to, talk to me when you're 60 lol). There IS a purpose, I can't convince you, I can't make you believe that, but it is my lifelong realization and it is being played out in my life in such a way as to make itself known to me: the purpose. You keep going because you must and because you are unique, you are important, and you are loved by God.

I feel like life's a joke and I am just a chess piece in a game. I have zero motivation to do anything good for myself. You are right.. I keep going because I must. I won't allow myself to see another choice right now. I have a little girl who needs her mother... that's about the only purpose I can see.

It IS tough, but I never "suck it up". If something's bothering me, I usually react by getting healthily angry, funneling that anger into exercise, openly crying (crying is cathartic, a spiritual cleanse) or expressing any number of emotions. NEVER suck it up. Express it.

Life got you down because it's getting tougher and tougher to generate enough MONEY to live? If so, I feel your pain and frustration. Sounds like you could use some help, from these "others" who keep telling you to suck it up.
