I guess the part that no one else can possibly understand is that Beaut is equal parts amazing ... and horrible. When I said astonishing, it was because it vaguely encompasses both these realms that Beaut just is.

The metal we were waiting on didn't come in. It was supposed to come in today by noon. It was supposed to come in yesterday. When we called, they were closed for lunch till noonthirty. Must be nice to close for lunch. We called it off at twelve fifteen. We sat on the couch and discussed how to duck tape the tent pole, and Jason went to clean the shop for our absence.

We made it and no one else was there with us. We did the impossible, and had to call it in on someone else's failure to excel. In the game of life, everyone else will fail you.

Someday we'll be able to focus more on how it all came together, even the parts that went wrong, even those.

I wish it hurt less.

In Beaut, Nothing Comes Easy.
Nothing.
