Hope became a splinter that annoyingly, unsympathetically hides beneath layers of skin.
What once gave excitement is now just a constant reminder of pain that can't be completely extracted.
Not yet.
Too many years have been invested, drop by soul-baring drop in increments ranging from dread to anticipation.
Time to give up.
No. Not yet.

Painfully beautiful words Bubbie. Don't give up the faith, or the hope. "This or something better", as India says. Everything we go through is a pathway to the next stepping stone in life. It may not be what we want, be it's usually what we need.

There is a fine line between where we should keep going and where we should move on. Sometimes it is very hard to tell.
