There are days, there are certain times within days when you feel so low that you cant bring yourself to get out of bed, when you don't have the will to pick up a ringing phone, when it gets so excruciatingly miserable that all you can do is to let yourself be engulfed in the swirling waters , Wave after wave crashing into you, tossing, throwing you here and there. You hold your breath, you endure, you just wait. No point expending energy swimming against the tide. You surrender. And you wait. And you wait. Slowly, like someone pulled the plug in the bathtub, the waters swirl with every lessening intensity, every so slowly draining away. There you are, feet on land again, tired, battered. There you are. You. Are.
