Why does everything feel like such a fight?
We fight to stay alive.
We fight to thrive.
We fight to win.
We fight to be slim.
We fight by arguing.
We fight by protesting.
We fight to get an education.
We fight to stay qualified in our careers.
We fight to be very right,
but are we sometimes in the wrong?
I know some fighting is good,
but does everything have to feel like such a constant wrangle?

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.

Ohhh, this one hits. If you could tap out of one fight forever, which would it be?
I've wondered this so very many times before....always an uphill battle. You nailed it.
