Curse you Finnegan, curse youuuuuuuu

I'm about to be in one of my ruts I think. I don't see anything good happening in the next couple of months. It's possible I'll get a job then but even if I do it'll just be some job I don't want. I didn't even use to care about that, but now that I know there's a career out there I want it matters. It's one of the only two things I guess that does

Being bitter and cynical won't help, though.

I guess, it won't hurt either though.

totally hurts. Negative outlooks are self-fulfilling prophecies. See: Me being convinced for 70% of the time we were dating that you didn't actually want to date me.

that's not a dig or anything, but we were talking about it the other day and you said how me thinking that led to problems.

Life doesn't change for the better-- you have to figure out how to change yourself for the life you want.

I'm working on that part. It's just going to take a while and even if I do all the work it's not a sure thing.

[xtremeteatime]

I agree. But I'd rather make a slightly risky bet that me changing will change my life than make a sure bet that my life will keep sucking if I don't do anything about it

Although I'm a pretty big advocate against self-fulfilling prophecies, I'm pretty much aware of how they work and when my negativity is against me. I also have days that by all rights are good days and that I should be happy about and still be inexplicably unhappy

Side note: are you cursing your cat or is this like a refference to Finnegan's Wake by James Joyce?

Given your predeliction for literature I'm geuessing it's a reference to the cat?

It's the cat bro
