stuck.

it's the word that describes how you feel when you want to grow more, but can't seem to climb any higher than the plateau on which you already stand.

stuck is the word to describe that feeling of doubt as to whether you're really being the best parent to your children. am i really a good father? will my kids think back on things i've told them and be thankful, or will they be left with a sense that they were cheated somehow? am i really giving them my best? am i really helping them become their best selves?

stuck is the word to use to describe that feeling you have when you ask yourself, "what are the most important things in life"? but you don't really have an answer. you think you know what's important, but deep down, you don't know if you really know or not. and worse-- are you even doing those important things, if you even know what they are?!

stuck is the feeling you get when you want to be closer to your mate, but life gets in the way.

stuck if the word for when you want to live your dream, but you don't even know what it is yet and time is probably running out.

stuck is when you want to go somewhere else, but you don't feel capable or able to venture elsewhere.

stuck is when you want to be truly alone-- just for a short moment-- but there is no private place to go.

stuck is when you know you're tired and need sleep, but the mind refuses to rest.

stuck is when you want to say more, but you don't know what else to say.

Just remember, we are never really stuck. There is always a way out - we just don't always see the door when we glance too quickly.

Thanks for that. I'll try to keep that in mind.

I have felt a little less stuck since that post.
