What are you waiting for?
I guess I'm feelin' a bit bloggy, so I'll write one. I was sittin' here on one of my unexpected days off (gotta love the job market, eh?), starting to feel a bit down, pessimistic about my life and all that. Why I'm not at the "place" I expected to be at my age, why I find myself associating with the same deadbeats and ne'er-do-wells I have been since college. And then it hit me. There are so many people I know that have it sooooo much worse than I do (and sadly, most of their problems are self-imposed), that I have to count my blessings.
Hell, I have a friend who has so many health issues, it's hard to figure out which medication she has to take this hour. Have another friend who just ended a 9 year relationship over a man she met on the 'net', and just realized all the sweet and passionate things that guy was doing and saying to her, he was basically copying and pasting to other chicks with substantially larger breasts than her.
I have a friend who is trying to kick a binge-drinking habit, but when he is sober, is the most irritating and annoying motherfucker anyone could have the displeasure of knowing. Another friend who swears up and down that men just treat her so badly, and treat her like a mistress, but when she does have a good man have interest in her, she treats him like the other men in her life have treated her, and end up going back to said assholes, only to feel the pain she swore she was tired of just a minute ago.
And look at just that little example of things, and thank my lucky stars that at least I have a good grasp of the truth and reality of things. That no matter how bad things get for me, or how bad they treat me, as long as their is air in my lungs and my heart makes that "lub-dub" sound, I can and will get through it, and keep moving forward. Too many people I know either do not, can not, or sadly WILL NOT move forward with their lives. And for whatever reasons, I'm one of the few people they can depend on to "help" them through the unbearable times. And how can I do that if I'm too busy playin' in my own lil pity party....
I have a lot of things to be thankful for. A lot of things to be happy about. A lot of things to appreciate. And most importantly, I have a long way to go. Can't spend that time and effort worrying about what went wrong. Just learn from it, and try to repeat the things that went "right"....
But hey, that's just my opinion.....my word ain't law....:|
