Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality... "
(lyrics by Freddie Mercury - 'Bohemian Rhapsody' by Queen)
People sometimes do stupid things. Unexpectedly, perhaps catastrophically. Things that you simply don't expect them to.
I suppose it's understandable. We've all been given the freedom to do as we please.
You can try to advise them, try and steer them in the right direction.
But what if they do something completely bizarre?
Things that defy logic.
Like throwing away one perfectly good relationship to pursue another with someone else more 'exciting'. (This is not someone in my family, or even in my close circle of friends. But it hurts me deeply - somehow...)
I'm caught up in their landslide. Is there any escape?
I can't undo it. Reality simply doesn't have a reset or rewind button; when you make a mistake you’ve got to live with it.
I can't live their life for them, either.
So why do I feel sad today? Why do I care?
