“An Age Old Question”

“Why”

It begins a myriad of questions like:

Why did this happen?

Why do I never seem to catch a break?

Why is the sky blue & the grass green?

Why do I feel like a failure?

Why do I worry about what others think of me?

Why did I buy that stupid trinket?

Why did it take the Cubs over 100 years to win another World Series?

Why do I continue to drive when my gas gauge is on “Empty”?

Answer: Because

But, but, but…

Because WHY???

Answer: Maybe because humans are curious by nature?

Nice try, but “why“?

Answer: Why not?

Maybe it’s just that simple…

“Why?”

“Why not?”

I mean, what’s the alternative? Does an alternative even exist? If you figure it out, please let me know. Why? Because, well…why not?

I love words & enjoy the freedom of writing. I strive to find the exact word to convey not only my thoughts, but also my feelings. I desire to fill the paper with words much the same way an artist fills the canvas with paint. To me, writing is an art form.
