things that irritate

I've been very irritable lately. Some small joys, some large heartaches, some madness, and in between it all lots of irritability, when I don't know quite how I want to be.

So - some things that irritate:

• inconsistency - mine and others
• not knowing
• fools doing burnouts nearby late at night
• mindless cruelty
• books so 'clever' they're unintelligible, and remind me that sometimes the emperor is naked
• the need for money, and more money
• my own inability to stop and rest - even when I'm doing 'nothing'
• too much stuff
• not being able to fix everything, even though I know some journeys require solitude
• expectations that I will always be the nurturer
• noise, constant noise
• always finding excuses not to do the things I want to do
• wasted days - if they were days for recharging, that would be wonderful, but too often I get to the close of another day with thoughts of 'if only'.

Some of these things I can work on, a few I need to detach from and allow to flow over me. Tomorrow is a fresh page.
