Inspired by Reena’s Exploration Challenge #273 & Moonwashed Weekly Prompt – Willy Nilly
trapped in our own space
listlessly tossed about in uncharted territory
letting depression and anxiety set in deeper
watching what happiness we had drained
if only something forced us to interact willy-nilly
what with our sanity at stake
but would we listen?
I Write Her 
A pertinent question, Susi. Excellent take.

I think ‘if only’ can be a very dangerous hindrance to progress. We can’t always avoid thinking about it but we should never dwell on it.

But in order to get to a place of motivation, “dwelling” in that misery is sometimes necessary.

Good one, Susi! Your last line says it all. Listening seems to be going by the wayside along with common sense.💖

Probably not! Humans choose their own path and often learn by making mistakes.
