A small anecdote as food for thought:
I walked alone to taco bell in the cold tonight to get a bean burrito. I had to search the apartment for enough change to afford the 1.05 because I'm a brokeass, and overall I was feeling pretty worthless. All I could think of is how the snow gets in the holes in my shoes and makes my socks wet anytime I walk anywhere, how I never have any money or means of transportation unless I borrow, and when there's no one around for me is when I need friends the most. But I got to taco bell, ordered with dimes, nickels, and pennies, then got my food. As I was walking away the guy working asked me what my favorite pop was. I told him pepsi, and then he just gave me a free pepsi as a drink. He didn't need to, and if anything doing that put him in jeopardy of being caught.
I need to stop waiting for my break. It's stupid to wallow in pity, although very addictive most of the time. I gotta learn something of the pain I'm feeling. So this will be my opportunity to live a less selfishly, realize the world doesn't stop for me. It just took a little trip south of the border to reach this epiphany.
