The Depths of the Pail
Sometimes you get stuck at the base of the barrel. It's where the items are all trashed, and what's left is just rubbish. You know, the kind of stuff that makes you sigh. It's a real bummer when you find yourself down the bottom of the barrel.
A Descent into Despair
The air hung heavy with the scent of decay. Each step was a struggle against the pull of hopelessness that threatened to consume me whole. The world outside seemed unreal, a pale shadow of its former joy. I felt alone, adrift in a sea of pain. There was no salvation to be found, only the numbing reality of my situation.
The Utterly Deplorable
Let's be honest, you and me have experienced some truly awful things in our lives. However, there are some things that just take the cake. These occurrences are so atrocious that they leave you begging for answers. Like, what were they thinking? What cosmic force could have created such unspeakable things? Maybe, it's just the universe's way of testing us.
- Think about: that time your dog ate your homework|the day your favorite band announced their breakup| when you accidentally sent that embarrassing text to the wrong person
- Or maybe: dealing with a terrible boss|getting stuck in traffic for hours| losing someone close to you
No matter what, there's no denying that some things are just plain awful. And sometimes, all you can do is laugh about it and keep your chin up.
