I feel like one part of my life is a really beautiful garden, with roses, tulips, violets, and green bushes and trees and a cute little path with a pretty iron bench...but in this garden, there's this small clump of ugly weeds, writhing and clawing at its surroundings. And like most weeds, they're beginning to spread to other parts of the garden...slowly, but surely...and i want to stop them; i want to be able to get rid of them...but no matter how much weed-be-gone i keep spraying they keep on living. I feel like their resilience is destroying the wonderful garden i worked so hard to make and keep alive and beautiful. All the love, tenderness, effort and energy i put into this oasis is being taken over by the weeds' ugly vines and leaves...and i'm left wondering if anyone out there is trying as hard as I am to keep the garden alive...or how much they want the garden to stay alive with its beauty intact.


Am i just fighting a futile battle?
