1. Can’t sell the house because it’s worth more than we have in it.
2. Can’t renegotiate the loan because the mortgage company says I make too much money. (???!##$$@!)
3. Qualify for Federal “low-income” status but can’t get food stamps because I thoughtfully put money in a 401K way back when.
4. Need to work but everything I’m finding would just about come even with the expenses of childcare.
5. Want to kiss someone but can’t fathom who … or manage to meet anyone.
Wanting sun but standing in the rain today.
Hoping one of these boulders moves soon.

. . . and know that all things change, all things are impermanent. so will these things be too. that boulders don’t always move quickly, but they can move. that sometimes you are better off not kissing . . . if the alternative is just kissing anyone; sometimes the disappointment of the kissing is equivalent to dark&bitter anarchy. know that you are not alone.
