Eh, a blank page

Anything new has to start somewhere. Usually someone who has something to get done starts somewhere. They have a starting point. An obvious starting off point usually. That is great for them, they can go about their task nice and easily. But what about when the starting point is just as hard to get to as the solution?

Well then frustration ensues. Chaos within ones mind comes with that territory. You know something has to be done, but with the start is difficult to figure out the path is not so clear. It is like looking at a blank page going 'where do I fucking start' when faced with an exam question you are confused looking at, let alone answering. Us students have been there at some stage or other.

This is where I was. I knew I had to do something. But what it was I had to do I hadn't a clue. It was very frustrating. It was upsetting. Not knowing something is one of the more frustrating things. Not knowing what someone thinks of you after you've said somethnig nice to them, not knowing what the rules of the game you are playing in shoulder deep in it or being asked something you should know and think you know, but the words or knowledge escape you. The brain's capacity to work is dampened.

So when that happens, you go right back to that blank page you started with. How bad is that?
