What do you complain about the most?

What Do I Complain About the Most?
I complain.
A lot.
About everything.
Sometimes even about things
I secretly enjoy complaining about.
I complain about life
because it doesnโt follow my plans,
my timelines,
or my very detailed imaginary scripts.
I complain about people
when they talk too much,
when they talk too little,
and especially
when they donโt read my mind
after knowing me for years.
I complain about love
when itโs late,
when itโs confusing,
and even when itโs peaceful
because peace, honestly,
feels suspicious.
I complain about small things
โWhy didnโt they reply?โ
โWhy did they reply like that?โ
โWhy did they forget?โ
And sometimes
โWhy do I remember everything?โ
Funny thing is
most people I complain about
are already doing their best.
But their best comes
in a language
my expectations refuse to learn.
So I call it less.
Life calls it different.
I say,
โYou didnโt do enough,โ
when what I really mean is,
โYou didnโt do it the way
I wantedโฆ
and on timeโฆ
and with a little magic.โ
And letโs be honest
even if life gave me everything,
Iโd still complain about
the delivery system.
But somewhere between
all this complaining,
I laugh.
I realise.
I soften.
Because most complaints
are not anger
theyโre love without instructions.
Theyโre expectations
wearing humour,
frustration,
and a little drama.
So yes
I complain about almost everything.
But if I look closely,
behind every complaint
is someone I care about,
something I value,
or a life Iโm still deeply involved in.
And maybeโฆ
complaining is just proof
that I havenโt checked out yet.
That Iโm still here.
Feeling.
Living.
Trying.
And honestly?
Thatโs not such a bad thing. ๐
