I realize that I am no person to talk.
And that bums me out. I used to be so happy, and bright. Now I constantly feel like I am walking under a cloud of doom. And this makes me realize that to be vindictive is to spread it. Others have made me this way and keep me this way, and if I don't try to stop, I could be causing it for someone else. I need to not allow the world to get to me so much. Yes, a lot of people suck. Yes, Utah sucks. Yes, religion sucks. But there is not a damn thing I can do about it. What I can do is smile and wave, because one day I'll be living in a big city or a small town or an in-between of that. One day I will be a mother of a child, or 2, or 3. One day I will have a fuzzy faced, 6 ft. 3 in. man, who wears plaid, button up shirts (this I can not take anything but, it is how it is), and maybe I'll be a teacher, or a counselor, or a stay at home mom who has a side job of selling jewelry out of the house. It doesn't matter what it is, I'll do it. The world is my oyster. I will not be at Golden Corral at 30 years old, with no schooling to my name. I will not be settling for the ghetto. I will not be settling for any man that pops into my life. And I will one day be genuinely happy again. As my dad has been telling me lately when he's noticed how down I am:
"This is all means to an end. You are not going to be here forever."
"This is all means to an end. You are not going to be here forever."
Probably the greatest thing I've read of yours since I met you. And your dad is right.
ReplyDeleteI've said a similar thing for years: This, too, shall pass.
