It Never Gets Easier

It never gets easier to say "no" to family in favor of a gig.

It never gets easier to say "no" to a gig in favor of family.

It never gets easier to schedule life in the face of, well, life.

It never gets easier to accept rejection.

It never gets easier to trumpet success.

It never gets easier to choose celery over chocolate.

It never gets easier to choose working out over sleeping in.

It never gets easier to get dinner on the table at the end of a long day.

It never gets easier to agree on what the dinner on the table should be at the end of a long day.

It never gets easier to ensure that all items can be seen in a refrigerator that's not flat.

It never gets easier to eat all the leafy greens before they disappear to the back of the fridge to die.

It never gets easier to dig past the leftover cheesecake to find the fresh fruit.

It never gets easier to make the right choices, when the wrong ones are so available.

It never gets easier to accept the results of your choices, when little decisions can create such big consequences.

We may get smarter, and stronger, and braver, and wiser. But still, sometimes, it feels as though "it," whatever "it" is, never gets easier...
