Limits

You push and push to get to the next level but whatever you try seems to be a miserable failure. This happens so many times you just think that your just not fit to do this. Limits are a feared thing among society, almost taboo to think about, but it is an unavoidable obstacle in the giant game of Life.

The Nolan family wishes so much for money to pour in, but it just doesn’t happen. It seems it shouldn’t happen and won’t happen. Now, they are starting to get the epiphany that maybe the extra and even needed money won’t ever come. That maybe owning their own property is just a distant day dream. This is a problem that is fought with every day, by many people. The will power is there. There is no doubt in that, but the problem for them is that it is impossible to live a limit-free life, yet you can always try your hardest to get as close to that limit as possible. Because of this possibility, the Nolan family does try their hardest to get to their aspiration. They do this by pretending they're in the North Pole trying to survive terrible conditions, where it seems like a game to the young Neely and Francie, but as they grow up they see it is not far from the reality. They still struggle with the cold and with starvation from the lack of money being brought in by Katie's cleaning job and Johnny's shaky singing waiter job, and this is just the limits showing up yet again.

Limits are a sad part of life, but you never will be able to fully erase them from the world. Yes, limits are feared, but you just have to take what you have, and try to make the best of it, even if that is not very much.
