You know what can be frustrating? Stereotypes. Society dictates that we have to act in a certain way because of what we look like, where we live, what we do, what our friends are like, our gender. It’s ridiculous. Stereotypes can be funny in ways but overall they tend to be more a tool for discrimination and fear mongering. Also there comes the problem when you find someone completely different from the stereotype that they are meant to be.

Ah well.

Life goes on.

You know what else can be frustrating? Feeling like there is nothing you can do. In a way feeling trapped, but in a different sense to how I last wrote about being trapped. When you are left with no real (or effective) options and you can’t seem to find a way to make things work. That’s frustrating.

Especially when you know just how simply things could be solved if you had just a little luck. I don’t want destiny or fate… I just want something to go in my favour. A good draw, a lucky break. Instead I seem to get stuck in the ruts of the everyday world. Being forced along paths that I don’t want. Or even like.

Normally I would say that you don’t need luck – you should just do things for yourself… But what if I don’t know the way to fix things for myself – and still come out winning more than I will lose? Then I come to this point, waiting on my lucky break.

I just hope it comes and that if it does… it’s not too late. How long can one person maintain hope? Hope in the face of something that really doesn’t seem to end well for them. Well not necessarily ending badly but not ending in the way they wanted – or even hoped for.
