To the First Heroes of the 21st Century
I've been thinking a lot lately about the world and the way things work, and I've come to the conclusion that there are things that are only put into your life to mold you into a better person, because they are so obnoxious or painful that you can't do anything but learn and grow from them. For example- this guy I know (vaguely) claims that he was vaccumming his carpet and accidentally disproved the exsistence of God. Which, while I know that is not possible, I was all 'Good for you keeping your brain working.' Except that he's one of those people who honestly thinks you're completely stupid if you are 1. female and 2. religious. And I just happen to be both of those things. So he talks down to me like I'm a toddler, and when I try to question his logic just gets loud and says 'You just don't understand." (This is also why the damn republicans are running the country. They just stop listening when you try to examine their thinking, and just get louder instead. And then people vote for them to get them to shut up.)
Another example.... relationships. Sometimes, things happen to people, with people... and there doesn't seem to be any reason to it whatsoever. And it's painful and trying and it makes you want to give up and become a hermit in the desert. But through it, you become better, and stronger. And it makes you understand and love and appreciate the people in your life all the more. I think. Or maybe I've just had my rose-colored glasses on for far too long.
And I think sometimes that I'm foolish for being the way I am, and sitting around thinking about these things when there are people in the world RIGHT NOW that are fighting a war that has no purpose other than to piss off the international community.
Am I crazy? Probably.
But what is that anyway?
I still need to figure out what I'm going to do with my life. Because I have no idea. And I can't even pick a damn major. I guess it's a good thing I'm not in school at the moment... or not. I have no job, and am not in school. I sit around all day, doing nothing, and spending Marsha's money, because Lord knows I have none of my own. And I do nothing productive. I guess I'm just unemployable, because I've been rejected from just about EVERYWHERE I've applied.
Smile when your heart is breaking
Smile, even though it's aching
Though there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile though the pain and sorrow
Smile, and maybe tommorrow
Things will all have been worthwhile
If you just smile...
