Life and It’s Lemons

Why do I feel this way? Why do I feel like a stake is being thrust so far in me, that its impossible to breathe at times. I just want the pain to stop, I want to be happy. I feel like I always look at life so positively, so optimistically, but maybe life is just a glass half empty. Maybe I should just learn to be realistic and see that life isn’t just a child’s dream. Maybe its time for me to grow up and realize that there is more to this world then my little fantasies.
My one question is why does life try to kick you when you are at your highest point, your most happiest. I just want to solve this riddle, just want one little clue, the tiniest of hints to be able to know how to survive this world without feeling all this pain. But I guess that’s what life is all about, trying to figure out what its all about, what’s the big picture, and what part we have in it.
I just want everything to be truly alright, and stop hoping on a miracle to happen!
