They
settle
and
wonder
,
What
if
?
for
years
and
years
,
until
the
question
morphs
from
What
if
?
into
What
else
?
And
when
the
lawyers
go
home
and
the
alimony
check
is
in
the
mail
,
they
say
,
What
for
?
If
not
for
their
lowered
standards
and
expectations
twenty
years
prior
,
then
what
for
?

Because
happiness
requires
struggle
.
It
grows
from
problems
.
Joy
doesn
t
just
sprout
out
of
the
ground
like
daisies
and
rainbows
.
Real
,
serious
,
lifelong
fulfillment
and
meaning
have
to
be
earned
through
the
choosing
and
managing
of
our
struggles
.
Whether
you
suffer
from
anxiety
or
loneliness
or
obsessive
-
compulsive
disorder
or
a
dickhead
boss
who
ruins
half
of
your
waking
hours
every
day
,
the
solution
lies
in
the
acceptance
and
active
engagement
of
that
negative
experience
not
the
avoidance
of
it
,
not
the
salvation
from
it
.

People
want
an
amazing
physique
.
But
you
don
t
end
up
with
one
unless
you
legitimately
appreciate
the
pain
and
physical
stress
that
come
with
living
inside
a
gym
for
hour
upon
hour
,
unless
you
love
calculating
and
calibrating
the
food
you
eat
,
planning
your
life
out
in
tiny
plate
sized
portions
.

People
want
to
start
their
own
business
.
But
you
don
t
end
up
a
successful
entrepreneur
unless
you
find
a
way
to
appreciate
the
risk
,
the
uncertainty
,
the
repeated
failures
,
the
insane
hours
devoted
to
something
that
may
earn
absolutely
nothing
.
195
People
want
a
partner
,
a
spouse
.
196
But
you
don
t
end
up
attracting
someone
amazing
without
appreciating
the
emotional
turbulence
that
comes
with
weathering
rejections
,
building
the
sexual
tension
that
never
gets
released
,
and
staring
blankly
at
a
phone
that
never
rings
.
It
s
part
of
the
game
of
love
.
You
can
t
win
if
you
don
t
play
.
197
What
determines
your
success
isn
t
,
What
do
you
want
to
enjoy
?
The
relevant
question
is
,
What
pain
do
you
want
to
sustain
?
The
path
to
happiness
is
a
path
full
of
shitheaps
and
shame
.

You
have
to
choose
something
.
You
can
t
have
a
pain
-
free
life
.
It
can
t
all
be
roses
and
unicorns
all
the
time
.
Pleasure
is
the
easy
question
.
And
pretty
much
all
of
us
have
a
similar
answer
.
199
The
more
interesting
question
is
the
pain
.
What
is
the
pain
that
you
want
to
sustain
?
That
s
the
hard
question
that
matters
,
the
question
that
will
actually
get
you
somewhere
.
It
s
the
question
that
can
change
a
perspective
,
a
life
.
It
s
what
makes
me
,
me
,
and
you
,
you
.
It
s
what
defines
us
and
separates
us
and
ultimately
brings
us
together
.

For
most
of
my
adolescence
and
young
adulthood
,
I
fantasized
about
being
a
musician
a
rock
star
,
in
particular
.
Any
badass
guitar
song
I
heard
,
I
would
always
close
my
eyes
and
envision
myself
up
on
stage
,
playing
it
to
the
screams
of
the
crowd
,
people
absolutely
losing
their
minds
to
my
sweet
finger
-
noodling
glory
.
This
fantasy
could
keep
me
occupied
for
hours
on
end
.
For
me
,
it
was
never
a
question
of
if
I
d
ever
be
up
playing
in
front
of
screaming
crowds
,
but
when
.
I
had
it
all
planned
out
.
