Have you ever felt...

...like you have to struggle to find something nice to say to people whose views differ so vastly from yours that you're afraid if you argue a point, you'll lose a friend?

...like you have to smile and take the underhanded criticism because it's served on a lovely platter with a smile?

...like you work and work and can't get ahead, putting money into a home that is decreasing in value?

...like if you have to go through one more day of the same. exact. routine you may actually lose your mind and cluck like a chicken on the highway?

...that if you hear The Map one more time, you're going to throw your $190 shoes you got on sale for 40$ through the 40-inch LCD screen?

...that you could walk away from it all, take your family and live in the woods somewhere?

...like life is unfair and what's worse is that your "why me?" feelings annoy you because you know how good you really have it and you feel guilty for even feeling this way when there are babies dying somewhere?

...like you can't imagine having any more children and yet the thought of all the beautiful babies you won't have still makes you sad?

...that you chose the wrong career path?

...that you wouldn't be friends with someone you've known for 20 years if you met them today?

...that you are handling things much better than you're supposed to be and that makes you wonder when the bottom is going to fall out?

...that you've got so much love and happiness that you just know tragedy lurks around every corner waiting to take it away from you?

...that you'll kick tragedy's ass if it comes near your family?
