Someone the other day told me this really great analogy. We were having a discussion about people we know that choose in life to have nothing and do nothing. And we talked about why we choose to let people in and out of our lives. There is a person standing on a chair. That represents the person trying to make life work. They are doing pretty well. They are staying out of trouble, they are working, going to school possibly. Then there is the person standing on the ground right next to the chair. This person chooses drugs, and they choose to be irresponsible and basically decide they don't have a real place in life. Now the Person standing on the chair might try to help that person on the ground to stand up on the chair with them, but the problem is that its very hard to lift a second person onto a chair. But for the person on the ground, pulling that person off the chair is a piece of weed-butter cake.
And also, Ive noticed something else. Its about the anticipation of a moment. You would think that the moment would be the best part, but its not. The moment is the reality. The best part of the moment it the anticipation of the moment, when you have all of your hopes of what the moment will be like. That is the when you dream of the best possible imaginable way that the moment could be. its blissful, its nerve-wracking, its not real. But then the moment happens, you are most likely let down. And i think that this is what i have a problem with. High hopes, i suppose. I always expect the best, and am left with the worst taste in my mouth. I think that i need to make some changes in my life, and it will be really hard to do, but i have to own up to it, and get on with life. If i am not happy, something is wrong. After all, We are all looking out for number one, aren't we?
