My 2 Second Shelf Life

What if...

Anyone who has experienced melancholy more than once knows that as much as it's despised, it's also familiar...
...like that old friend that you try to cut out of your life, 
but they always come back. 

One thing about melancholy is that is consistent, you can rely on it.
When other things fall by the wayside, you can always depend on it.

It seems a strange thing that I say...melancholy as an old friend.

There is an old Russian saying that goes:
"misery is the only thing that is your own, no one else wants it. It's the one thing that no one will take from you."


Misery whispers in your ear.
God sends you a test.
Are you who you think you are?
