Resonate

The people in the drama all seem eager to talk about life.

Yet somehow, the idea of “life” no longer feels quite right to me.

Things will get better.

Hardship is part of life.

Those kinds of words no longer resonate with me the way they once did.

Perhaps it is because they begin with the assumption of time.

Or perhaps they begin with the assumption that something is missing.

Lately, I have found it harder and harder to experience that sense of lack.

When I try to look for it, it no longer feels as real as it once did.
