Sometimes we're dealt a bad hand and there's nothing we can do about it
We just have to smile and grin and take it
I tried to trick the dealer once,
A hidden ace up my sleeve
But I ended up being the joker
And I weep and feel sorry for myself
Why me? When I'm the one who's to blame
I don't want to make fun or name names
But it was always you I would blame
No shame
Just an excuse to ease my rotten conscience
Sometimes your hand is ok and you make the best out of it, or the worst
Or pocket aces slide into your possession and you win it all, but it all can just be snatched away in the next round
Are you ready to play?
Because I'm already dealing

Travel Snaps Challenge Winners
Travel changes us — if we let its lessons in. It’s possible to wander the world, even to take pictures, with our eyes as good as closed, never opening to the new self that a new place might make of us. So many of the entries to our Travel Snaps challenge were by creators who really wanted to look at the world, and themselves, anew. They were all inspiring to read — and to see, because photography was an important part of this competition. To us, the ‘quality’ of the photographs wasn’t the point; it was that these images were yours. It was a reminder of how much more that can mean — certainly when it comes to personal essays — than widely available or AI images. We really loved seeing these snaps.
