My Memory Strikes!
Okay, so last night while thinking of what to write I started thinking about how bad my life feels sometimes. I have no cash, no job, never had a relationship and appear to have screwed up my career choices. Anyway, the point here is not me whining (in a shocking plot twist), but more so what came after I started thinking about this.
So I figured my life wasn't perfect, who's is? I started thinking about how selfish such thoughts are. When I end up thinking like that I forget everyone else, there are people out there who've just lost loved ones, people are still missing in Cornwall from the floods, there are millions of people who's main concern isn't getting a girlfriend, its getting enough food to survive. It made me realise how selfish alot of us were capable of being when we forget about the world around us (well namely me, I can't speak for anybody else). It also made me feel guilty for ever feeling down about such trivial things. So at the end of the day, I realised that it's not worth worrying about such things when, in true terms, I'm an incredibly lucky person, I've got the best friends anybody could wish for, always have something to eat and somewhere to stay and see no reason to feel down.
Not that I still wouldn't appreciate a job, a girlfriend, a career or a ton of cash mind you (or any combination of the four...). It's just that sometimes I feel we let petty things in life get in the way of the big picture, at least I do. And now I'm going to try and stop. Which hopefully means blogs where I'm moaning about things to do about myself either are major, or will be very hypercritical! Not that that'll stop me, sooner or later I'll forget I said this and get back to feeling down, but right now I'm feeling happy again and that's good.
I seem to be using this blog thing too seriously, so why did the chicked cross the road?
If you don't know the answer, go home.
