Life is hard.

Well I told quite a few people this weekend that I am a shallow person. Funny, because lots of people have a rough association with the word "shallow". I happen to be pretty proud of it. Addressing the shallow parts in life is one of the greatest hurdles I have jumped over. I use to have this waryness associated with it. Like I should be above being shallow. I'm not on an ego trip like that. I am a good guy, but I am not beyond anything human. I almost broke it to these people that at times I can be selfishly motivated too. But you have to realize that certain people can only handle a certain amount of reality. They would much rather live in a world convinced by their friends that they do not have any selfish desires, and shallow requirements. Maybe I am just used to be being real to myself, and others. But to deny two traits that are certainly human, even though they are undesirable, is fooling yourself. Addressing the shitty things in life has lead to a greater level of happiness. And I am proud of that, and so much happier because of it.

Keep it real.
