I hunger and thirst for a life of ease.

Don't judge me.

I've felt enough loss that I couldn't even bring myself to write about it when prompted.

I've experienced poverty. Shut-off notices, utilities being turned off. Electric in the winter, gas in the summer. Evictions, domestic violence.

I've seen addictions at their worst and best.

And more.

Therefore I hunger for ease.

I want the easy life.

I also want the road to get there to be easy. Not winding and rugged.

I want the stress free life. (Does that even exist??)

I hunger and thirst for a life that's not so difficult and painful.

For now I'll just take ice cream.
