The Three Hardships of Life

They say life has three hardships: steering a boat, working as a blacksmith, and selling tofu.

I say life has three hardships: letting go, waiting, and reincarnation.

You say, if we weren't missing someone and chasing after them, how could life become waiting, love become letting go, and life keep coming around again?

A friendly heads-up: This will probably be a long story, and I don't know when I'll finish it. Think carefully before jumping in!
