Short Update

Really really really tired right now. Never the less, feeling pretty good. Good-ish maybe. Don't know. I was at work, and I was really enjoying myself...and I had kind of an epiphany. It's the funniest thing really because it happened while I was in 'Townhall Meeting' with a bunch of Supervisors and Managers. They threw it for any interested

Don't know if you're familiar with it at all, but what you talked about is exactly like the prayer for serenity that's used in Alcoholocs Anonymous. "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the strength to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."

Me, I have a problem letting go. I'm of the opinion that where my life ends up is 100% due to the decisions that I've made. And that I have complete control over where my life goes from here. I never put the blame for bad things that happen to me on other people, and it seriously annoys me when people are like, "Oh woe is me. Life has dealt me such a crappy hand, there's no way I can ever be happy." Really, there are few things that annoy me more than that attitude. But, I ramble.

Here here to Mike's comment! It is always better to take control of your life than to be a passive rider.

if it makes you feel any better, the people who spend their time in public moaning about how life has screwed them over, are the people who, in private, blame themselves for everything and can't even forgive themselves for something small like promising to call someone and forgetting. when you carry around that much self-loathing, you want to be able to foist some of it off on other people. but you can't fool yourself, so the most you can hope for is to fool your friends and hope they'll act sympathetic.
