Man sometimes you face a mistake from the past and all you can do is laugh. I am looking through old writing stuff on my computer, trying to find inspiration for a memoir project in my creative writing class.
I wrote an angry letter to Josh when he tried to lecture me about being a responsible student:
"If that means I can’t survive in a dead-end corporate slave environment where my boss treats me like shit but I’m too lazy and afraid to look for something better, than I’m HAPPY I’m like this!"
Like a year later I was at Linens and Things, doing exactly what I said I wouldn't. Josh really was unbelievably bad for me. Mind you I think it's probably a good thing I lived a portion of my life as one of those hopeless, useless people. It taught me why a difference needs to be made and why my hand should be in with the rest of those trying to save the world.
I'm able to laugh about this. And I have been able to handle things that would've torn me down lately. Maybe I'm finally starting to get over this.
