i have 5 pounds of sugar and only a 2 pound sack.

ever felt like that?

kind of like walking into a museum and not knowing what to see first.

or having a ton to say but not knowing how to start.

kind of like that.

ill start with something easy.

this morning during the commute to work, traffic went from 70mph to zero in a matter of seconds.

its always like this but that’s not the point.

as i stomped on the brake and caught my breath, that sense of dread you get sometimes just washed over me.

i looked in my rearview mirror and watched the headlights behind me get closer and closer until they disappeared out of sight.

i gripped my steering wheel, gritted my teeth with all of my might, and braced for the bump.

but no bump happened.

the car stopped. although it seemed like it was close enough for the driver to reach in my car and turn the radio station.

how much of life is like that?

you’re sailing along, able to avoid some danger on one hand and then find yourself bracing for something else.

and at the end all you have is you holding on for dear life and with a funny face?
