A wise person recently said to me, "friends are like underwear, just pull em off and put on a new pair..." Perhaps it was phrased a little better than that, but you get the idea. I can't say I totally agree- friends, real friends, the inner circle, take a long time to develop, and are really once in a lifetime. So it sucks when one lets you down, or you just don't speak the same language...
Recently, I came to terms with the fact that everyone will let you down at some point- your friends, your parents, your siblings, yourself, and that vice-versa- you'll do the same. You can't insullate yourself from people, no matter how hard you try.
But I am sick of the crap. I'm done with selfish people. I've made this resolution before, but this time I mean it.
Everything is not about you (in the figurative sense). Having a shitty day? Someone else is too. Something shitty happen to you, probably did to someone else too.
I was watching celebrity poker last night and the commentators made some comment about going all-in...at some point, you gotta go all-in. All or nothing, no in between.
On a final note, I cannot stand spineless people. I'm on a mission to fire them from work and from life. My counterpart in another office today fucked up for the millionth time...but my boss says he'll tell her to handle it..I'm like, she can't, she won't, she's just not strong enough....of course he tell her this, she hems and haws, blah blah blah, fine- he'll have to handle it afterall. Stand up and have a backbone I say.
To quote a favorite song: "Sappy pathetic little me, that was the girl I used to be..." I wish others would take a freaking position in life for once and stop pussyfooting around.
And this weekend I have studying non-stop to look forward to. The joys.
