Note: This post could come off as sad, but i'm really not in a sad mood and mean it more as a conversational piece than an advice request.

Or is it "easy" for "normal" people? Like, I don't even mean the chaos that ensues on the journey of life from being around other people. I mean, life in general. Day to day with yourself?

Like, if I want to heat something up - the microwave plate has to be off track and needs adjusting. Or if I'm in a hurry - I can't find my keys; or I had them all along. If I want to put the mail on the table, I drop a letter or two on the way. If i'm stirring up a pot of water, some has to splash on the stove.

I mean, I know these are all minute things that make little to no impact on our future but I mean - is it just me or is this life? I don't know. I find that when I have to like bend over an extra long way to pick up something that keeps moving further and further out of reach i'm just naturally like "ugh. I'm so tired of life." It just seems like nothing can ever come easy. Ever. I'm really starting to believe Murphy's law that "Anything that can go wrong; will go wrong." And I totally get that it has a lot to do with how we react but I mean - can't life just give us a break and not give us something to react to all the time?? Or is my, and the people around me's, life just like this? And if this is global...why is life so cruel? It's like continuously poking at a sore spot on someones arm just for the heck of it; just to be a playful. Even that can get annoying after a while.

I know, random topic just one of those things I found myself thinking lol. I know i'm a weirdo.

I know what you mean. I see life as one "challenge" after another. I just try to deal with it, assuming I am likely to drop some mail, the cat is going to make a mess, I am going to stub my toe, the water on the stove is going to slop over, etc.--and be glad when these things don't happen!

I read somewhere that it's the little stressors adding up that cause more difficulties for people than a big stressful event.

I would say so. I don't believe in a fully 'simple' life. In fact oftentimes the more easy life is the more boring it feels. Guess it's about striking a balance and accepting that for all the annoying little occurrences there's also a lot to enjoy and feel good about it. Just try and do something you love at least once a day...i don't think people make enough time for themselves anymore.

Windows 8 is the most annoying thing in my life!

I don't think life as a game is inherently challenging for everyone per se, I just think it needs a better user's manual. :|

I wonder this exact thing all the time. I could really just use a break.

I tend to feel life's buttiness most when my life is disorganized. That can mean physically (cluttered house), financially, emotionally, socially, etc.

I find when things are in harmony and everything just "works," I don't notice the little butt moments of life as often.
