It's amazing how such a seemingly-simple homespun philosophy can be missed by entirely. It's meaning can be lost upon so many individuals and it makes me sad for them. I really believe life is only as good or bad as we choose/want it to be. Yes, some people are luckier then others. I think the luck is the people who take the time to look around and appreciate the small things, children laughing, first kisses, warm desserts on cold days. And that despite the fact that I don't feel particularly proud of our country most of the time, it is still a better place to live then most other places. Perhaps, our quality of life is not as high as it should be. But, the mere fact that I am able to say any of this and not be imprisoned is a pretty phenomenal thing. But this entry is not about America. This is about the things people miss when they're too busy feeling awful and feeling sorry for themselves. Everyone has a light inside of them. And the only people that deserve to witness that light, are the ones that are like electricity to us. The ones that don't light us up are not worth stories in our life.
Time is short and so we shouldn't waste time with people that won't make our lives better or at least more interesting. There are so many people in the world. Everyone can light up someone else's light. So you should set them free so they're able to do that for another. Despite this whole rant, I'm still sad for a certain ending. I was really beginning to be patient and was giving up some of my intensity. But that's dangerous territory. When you start to give up little parts of you, that person or thing should also be giving up something. It's unfair to be one-sided and does not have lasting power. Ok- enough talking about boys.
I registered to take the FTCE exams. I registered for three of them and I'll be taking those in January. I have the best boss at work, she really worked with me for the Christmas vacation. So I'll be off 23rd-25th at least. Actually through the 27th because Sunday and Monday are my days off anyways. So, I'll be able to spend time with family. She really is the best supervisor. She works with all of us and tries to make us all happy. That's a true first for the bosses that typically work at my company. So thank you S.
And even more exciting, I just got back from NOLA with my sister. What an amazing trip. All the history, the freeness, the spirituality, the Mississippi River, the food, the booze, oh and the cast of Twilight ftw. :P It was really an amazing city. It had such history and superstition attached to it. I was over Bourbon street after the first day but the NOLA, itself, I could have stayed a bit longer. It was a great time had with Nisey. This was our first trip together and it was a success, although, we swore it would be our last trip together ever a few times. :]
Anyways, I need to go finish studying the math section for the GK.
Love the dreary Sunday weather, hope it brings you all you want today.
