April 11, 2026: The Darker Sooner, Catherine Wing

The Darker Sooner Catherine Wing Then came the darker sooner, came the later lower. We were no longer a sweeter-here happily-ever-after. We were after ever. We were farther and further. More was the word we used for harder. Lost was our standard-bearer. Our gods were fallen faster, and fallen larger. The day was duller, duller was disaster. Our charge was error. Instead of leader we had louder, instead of lover, never. And over this river broke the winter’s black weather.

She knew for certain she would never be fully contented again as long as she lived. Half of her would always be elsewhere.

DISCONTENT - CONDITIONED FOR TERROR

Does anyone else have trouble just existing in the moment? For me it's difficult, especially since becoming an adult. My mind always wants to escape to the past or even the future.

It's so hard to just exist and focus on what's actually happening around me.

I know this is unhealthy. I've tried very hard to force myself to be present, to have mindfullness, to meditate, to be Zen, to live in the moment and experience the present but it's nearly impossible to do that. (It was FAR easier when I was a kid without as much stress and responsibilities, but even then I did it for the opposite reason - because I was bored)
