Your Dad

If you’ve ever truly loved someone, you’ve heard it said, “love isn’t easy”. But my question for you is, what in life is? What’s so easy about trying to work 40 hour weeks so that you can afford to live while you pay off debt. What’s so easy about growing old and watching your family pass away and leave you on this earth while you age? What’s so easy about getting let down time and time again by people you thought cared about you so much? What’s so easy about growing up only to find out being an adult isn’t as fun or free as you imagined it would be? What is so damn easy about always saying to yourself “i miss the good old days, when life wasn’t so stressful”? What’s easy about learning what heart break feels like? What’s so easy about going through 6 years of elementary school, 3 years of junior high, 4 years of highschool, and 4+ years of college only to end up with no job and a shit ton of loans to pay off? What’s so easy about realizing your parents might not be the people you thought they were, the hero’s you looked up to? What’s so easy about being born into a life where you’re forced to work in order to survive?
