stagnation

People around me are changing. Changing for the better. While I'm still in this seemingly perennial state of stagnation.

They are becoming prettier. Smarter. More talented. And just generally better.

Wasn't my resolution to be better person? Then why am I still stuck here in this land of quicksand that threatens to devour me the longer I stay unmoving? Even the nearest tree seems to be out of my reach now, let alone the neverending stretch of quicksand in front of me.

Perhaps it's time I did something to get myself out of this. They're getting out of sight soon.
