Just tell yourself, Duckie, you're really quite lucky!
Waves of emotion, like never before.
I was upset with Nick because he cancelled on me, but I wasn't really upset as I must have seemed. I pulled the whole guilt trip thing on him, then later I realized that is what I had been conditioned to do - I saw my mother in me once again. I feel bad now because I want to be selfish with his time and that isn't fair. I want to be near hims, close to him, with him, and in his arms. So shall wait another day and call him.
Living Wage Teach-In. I had heard it all before. The abomonation that is our society. The fact that a family of 4 must live in poverty when having a salary above the government poverty line. That a minimum wage of $5.15 an hour is considered good. Having the administration saying "Don't push we are doing all that we can." Well, it's not enough. When you are in the red every month, without including childcare, transporation, or clothes, and you supposedly make a living wage. Something has to change. My idealist self knows that there MUST be another way, but the realist in me questions how, how in this society can we begin to care for one another?
completely lost track....
No some Dr. Seuss:
"Today you are You, that's truier than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You."
"You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams."
"Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened."
"Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answer is simple."
"I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead and some come from behind. But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready you see. Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!"
"A person's a person, no matter how small."
"Just tell yourself, Duckie, you're really quite lucky."
"Fun is good."
