< The Pursuit of Happyness >

The struggle to make a living
Out of something you want to believe in.
Yet bills, fines and installments never waits.
Your wife walks out on you. You insisted on taking your son with you.
Even though you are not sure if you can put him through.

Desperation. Drives you to do the most insane.
Homelessness. You have no choice but to seek a place of lodging like never before.

Nevertheless. u have an unwavering spirit.
Though all so often, the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.
Everything seems to be working against you.



"And it was at that time that I thought about Thomas Jefferson writing that Declaration of Independence. Him saying that we have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And I thought about how he knew to put the 'pursuit' in there, like no one can actually have happiness. We can only pursue it."

I was so emo.
And I thought I have forgotten how to cry.
