Because it never lets up

Sometimes you think that if you could just come up for air…

…if you could just take a break, for a few hours, a few days, a few months, a few years…

…you’d be able to cope.

But that’s not the way it works.

You can’t take a break, if you’re already past your lunch hour, if you’ve already used your allotted vacation.

You can’t come up for air.

You can’t breathe.

It never lets up.
