Subtle Reminders

A television show.  A song on the radio.  Looking at your friends' facebook status.  Reminders.

No matter how much you think you are making progress, no matter how much you think you are getting better, no matter how much you convince yourself that you are working towards your own happiness, sometimes the reality of just how lonely you really are grabs you in its clutches and will not release its grip no matter what kind of positive spin you try to put on it.  You can don the brave-face.  You can invest your hope in some forward looking goal.  But, in the present moment, you can't feel anything but lonely, and you wonder if all the rest is just a pipe dream.
