Short Story: The Cold Hard Truth

The Cold Hard Truth [unedited]

today as i watch the rain poor outside the window of my small room, i can't help but think why life is what it is. why must we live and work, and be unhappy for all of our eternity. but what if, finally, for once, we could be happy, do everything we've ever wanted to do, ever wanted to try, the little things, like going for a walk every morning, and the big things, like skydiving. what is life without challenges? we should be living it to the fullest, no matter what. don't let life get in the way of your dreams, of yourself, of your life. don't let your life get in the way of your life. funny concept isn't it? so as i dream about changing my life for the better, the rain falls outside the window of my small room, and as i wake up in the real world again, i remember reality, work starts tomorrow at 7, i need to pay the bills, as well as finish school so i can get a better job, so i can pay the bills, and get out of debt. and do that for the rest of my life. eat, sleep, go to work, pay the bills, except for the small occasions where i might get the opportunity to do something, and then there will always be that 90% chance that i won't even be able to do that, because i can't afford it, or i have work. and theres also that 2.5% chance that i will get sick the day of this opportunity, and all my excitement was a waste. yep, lifes great all right. so in reality, money and health run the society today. well that and love, but honestly, who has time for love anymore when we're all to busy trying to get by in life, and dreaming about how to make it better. So lets face it; Life sucks, then we die. Its the cold, hard, truth.
