Realizations
At this time in my life I have realized a couple of things. Really I've only managed a couple, I'm a little slow here. Not everyone gets to be rich, beautiful, and famous. I'm ok with the beautiful and famous part. While I may not be drop dead gorgeous, I'm cute, have a great smile, and wicked personality (big boobs). The famous part also seems highly overrated. I don't want millions of people up in my business 24-7.
What I do have a problem with is the not rich part. Actually I'm OK with the fact that not everyone can be rich, however I am not OK with the fact that I'm included in that everyone. That seems grossly unfair. I am eccentric enough that I deserve to be rich on that basis alone. Don't people see that?
The real problem here (besides not having a firm grasp of reality) is that I would prefer not to have to work too hard to be rich. Winning the lotto is a reasonable goal, right? Why wouldn't it be (besides being all but statistically impossible)?
See this is the realization that I'm really bitter about. I don't want to have to work for another 30+ years and then retire and realize I still have no fucking money. My generation is going to face exactly that and it is a horrifying thought.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not afraid of hard work ... I just prefer not to do it. The talents and the things that I enjoy are all fields and activities that would lead to being very, very broke. Medieval and renaissance history don't exactly have big money making potential. Neither does being a professional student because I'm really good at being a student, I excel in the classroom but don't always do so well in the real world, though I'm getting better at that.
