It’s amazing how we celebrate.
Foreign cuisine, local outlet, same old people.
It’s wonderful how we laugh.
Another win, sweat to cash, top of the mountain nearer.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

It’s sad how we envy.
Fake smiles, congratulations whispered, holding back sarcasm.
It’s inevitable how we crash.
Burnout, credit card bills, no risks, only fear.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s admirable how we carry on.
Highs and lows, kisses and backstabs, raised glasses and gulped water.
It’s a relief we try and try.
Love not just laughter, hope not just sadness
Faith, not just resentment.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
