I find the phrase “that’s life” ever so amusing. People seem to use it to describe situations in which I don’t feel very alive at all. I get so paralyzed sometimes. I can’t think, laugh, or feel alive because everything that happens just seems to put me back down again. “Well, that’s life.” They say, almost too simply. And I can’t help but think, if this is life…why does it make me feel so dead?
