I can list all of my accomplishments on a post-it note (the small ones used to tab pages). The things I'm supposed to be thankful for in my life could take up the pages of War and Peace. The optimistic babble gives me nightmares... it's just not realistic. I'm tired of being thankful for things that just come naturally in life. I feel like I'm five again and my parents are telling me to eat my veggies because there are starving children in Cambodia. Why is it that all starving children love vegetables? These days a person will get the big, hairy stink eye for not being thankful for what they have. Maybe I'm wrong for wanting much, much more than what I have. The chubby, little redhead from the trailer park has come a long way..... however, I had a much grander idea of what life was like. We always do when we're young. You'll have to excuse my lack of enthusiasm with what I have. I just have a horrible sinking feeling that this is as good as it gets. I have to go... my humble pie is burning in the oven. I'll leave you with a little quote to sum up my shitty mood today.
"I don't do anything, not one single thing. I used to bite my nails, but I don't even do that any more." -Dorothy Parker
