Chronic Ache in the Soul of a Single Parent
There is a chronic ache in the soul of a single parent. It lingers, feeling endless. This ache feels so difficult, especially when you look at other families. They seem so… whole. They seem so joyful and complete. There is a husband and a wife and children in a stroller. Thinking about your single state, you realize how awkward you feel, how out of place at various functions and gatherings. They are all happily together and you’re miserably alone. Disappointment with the current life circumstances just settles in to stay, or so it feels. How could these layers of disappointment be broken up anyhow?

I don't do skincare because my skin doesn't care, lol. Loved your Senryu!
Thanks for the laugh!
Me either, lol
haha this sure made me chuckle as someone who rarely spends any time doing it or God forbid, looking in a mirror for more than a minute!
What? You mean you don't draw your own eyebrows and botox your lips?
