“Withhold admiration from a narcissist and be disliked. Give it and be treated with indifference.” Mason Cooley
The Shattered Dream When it all just sits unmoving, like a clog of hair in a drain, and no amount of hoping will move it or restore the flow, knowing that when something is broken beyond repair, it cannot be put back together as you once dreamed it would, in that child's wistful eye, the mountain of dysfunction that will never be surmounted, leaving us all waiting for the moment that will never come.

Human beings are supposed and expected to remove the clog and make things fluent! Hopes should never be surrendered! Results are there but can’t stop the 🌞 rising!
