[Cecily Hopnotch]

Dear life,

Why are you so hard lately? What happened to all those years in which I just did what came naturally, worked hard, and got wherever I needed to go? Why is it that with no experience I found I job in one try, yet now that I have some university under my belt and over three successful jobs behind me that I have not been able to find a job for over seven months? Why is school so tortuous? Why can't my boyfriend be happy with how I handle things? Why why why this and that. I just want to write and be married to him, happily. That's it. I'm not asking for riches or fame or anything. Just content and a book. That's it.
Please, I'm begging you... work WITH me instead of against me. You don't even have to be easy.

Love,
Cecily
