LumpLife

Life is a lump in my throat.

What do I mean by this?

I’m referring to those moments when life stops you dead in your tracks, when you have to take a pause because it’s too overwhelming; when the emotions build up inside of you, and you’re left with this excruciating pain in your throat – the lump. That’s it. The physical manifestation of it all being too much… just. too. much.

My life is filled with lots of those moments.

I haven’t been very good at managing them. I usually let them swallow me up. They take me down… and I stay down.

It’s time that I get up; that I really start fighting back. I have it in me. I just know I do.
