IT'S COMPLICATED by Elke Govertsen

IT'S COMPLICATED might just be the understatement of the century.

Just when I think I have reached my limit, something else jumps on this crazy rollicking ship.  I am not sure if I will sink, sail or just shut down.

But the thing about these complications is that I want almost all of them.  At the same time.  And the ones I don't want, well they are the price to pay for some of the ones I do want.  Even explaining this is complicated.

Let me try to make it simple.

My life is a lot.

A lot of people.  A lot of dreams.  A lot of expectations.

My time is little.

Never enough hours.  The days fly.  And most of all, the years, oh, the years.

TOO.  DAMN.  FAST.

Somewhere in the intersection of a lot and a little is where it is complicated.

That intersection is where I live.  My guess is that you live there, too.  I would be that you are pulled and pushed and finding yourself with more than you ever thought you could handle.

But look at you.  You are complicated enough to meet this day.  So am I.

We can sail. this ship.
