Let's get to the bottom of the matter here, life is naturally uncomfortable. We are meant to be pulled up mountains, and dragged through bushes. Life is volatile, vivid, and sensual. It is not stagnant or solid. It's fluid and without shape. We just don't like to think of life that way because it is scary.
Of course its scary. I'm not saying its anything else. But you can grab hold of it and control the way you react to life. Let me give you a real-life example.
Living life is like riding a mechanical bull. If you're too rigid, no matter how well you do, you will be sore afterwards. If you don't move in time with the bull, you're going to fall,slide, or fly off. But if you can balance on the bull, gripping in all the right places, you can hang in for quite some time. If you manage to fall off, reset your approach and try again.
I've ridden a mechanical bull only twice in my life. The first time I lasted 40 seconds. Second time, right after the first, I lasted 41 seconds. Usually my friends didn't last as long during the second ride.
So when you fall on your butt during life, get up, reevaluate, and start living again (proceeding in this order). Sometimes... that is all you can do: just try again. So stop sitting around. Get up and make the best out of life, and all it takes is you getting on.
