Life, Make The Best of It Since You Won't Get Out Alive
Do you ever have those days...or weeks...or months...or pretty much just everyday of your life where you're just tired of how people treat you? Do you ever just want life to go your way just one time? Do you find life to be a death sentence sometimes, or a cruel and unusual punishment? Welcome to my world, population: everybody. Sucks doesn't it?
Many of our frustrations come from the things we have to face everyday. For myself it's the usual. School, work, family, finances, men, and a hell of a lot of other things. I'm so fed up with all of the complications these things bring to me. If only I could say "put it on my tab, go fuck yourself" but alas, life we must live through.
What makes me try to push past all of these issues is to look at things on the comical side of view. It helps keep my optimism and positivity in check.
I've learned this comical technique from working at my small city's local chain of coffee/donut shops. We have a drive through, and some of the customers are just ridiculous. This goes for the people at counter too, but we get away with many things on our headsets at work since we can talk to each other without anyone hearing. And oh yes, we do mock our customers. We do imitate them for the rest of the day, and it makes the trouble they gave us ease away. And don't get me wrong here, we're very kind to our customers. But if they're rude to us, they're on our list imitations.
When in doubt sing, I also learned this at work. At my job, let's just say we get a lot of old people, so therefore the music is rather outdated. It drives us crazy, but instead of letting it get to us, we bust out a few songs (good for getting tips too ;D) and just have a very jolly ol' good time.
Men...enough said...this is something I have not had any luck with. It's frustrating because who doesn't want that big hunk of lovable man in your life? Sadly, all those hunks turned out to be major ass of holes. You name it, it's happened. I've been through sex mongering, using, threatening, douchebags. I mean, the first guy that I had a major crush on last year, we had a good thing going for eight months....NOT. I was a pretty held together young lass, but this was one of those people that everyone wanted. He was popular, he was hot, well to do, you name it, he had it. Sounds perfect yeah? Let me mention, he was the type to make the strong girls clingy, the clingy girls clingier, and the emotionally stable...a complete wreck. In other words he was a manipulator...and in other other words...he was a man whore. What got me through men like that was brushing it off and to keep living life, with an acception of a few tears.
Now, I have a woman issue. With the lack of men liking me...there is a plethora of unwanted females liking up on some Keisha. It's aggravating as hell, I mean...I could be like what the feck, do I look lesbian to you? But I remind myself that hey..at least someone finds me attractive.
