emma_moonCertain things happened recently that changed my perspective on my life.
My good friend's sister passed away a few months ago. I never met Christina, but I was told stories of her courage in the face of adversity she dealt with everyday.
My mother told me that my aunt has a brain tumor and that my cousin (her daughter) has 2nd, 3rd and 4th stage cancer. The doctors started Jonelle on an aggresive chemotherapy and radiation therapy. She might not last 6 months even with the treatment. My aunt was told her tumor was unoperable. When she got back home from visiting here, she was told it could be operated on. My aunt was so sure that she was going to die, and now she'll live. But my cousin has been handed a death sentence. Doesn't make my aunt or the rest of us feel much better. It seems like it's a trading off scenerio. You get to live, but your child dies. Nope. Don't like that at all.
I've also been involved in a bit of a feud with a certain owner of a certain HP fanfiction site. Even though I think he's scum, I've decided to let it go for now. Unless he does something to one of my friends, then it's gloves off.
I do have a little bit of a rant though. What is it with people and their constant pity parties? I mean come on. There's one girl at work who is constantly complaining that she's ugly, stupid or whatever else. Give me a break. What complete and utter bullshit. She moans and bitches about how horrible she is and then waits for someone to jump in and tell her that she's wonderful and not to think that way. Sigh.
I'd like to put my foot up her ass. Seriously. She does it all time. I'm so sick of it I told her to shut up and not say anything unless it pertained to work. She got all huffy and started crying saying everyone hated her. I have to throw my hands up at this. We don't hate her. Just want her to shut up.
How can someone be that unsecure? She has to have positive reinforcement all the damn time. Stupid. If no one liked you, you wouldn't have friends. You wouldn't have someone practically tripping over themselves to reassure your pathetic ass that you're actually worth space on this planet. And the worst thing is, she nevers believes them. Never! She comes up with reasons why she's not worth living and having friends or people who care about her. It's sickening and I've about had it.
Sometimes we all feel sorry for ourselves, that's normal. We're only human. But to constantly go on and on... it's tiring. I suggested counseling. Maybe then she can feel some self worth.
And maybe then I'll finally get some peace and not hear her whining anymore.

"The Meaning of True Grit"
Date: 2006-03-14 09:45 pm (UTC)These individuals realise from a very young age that the "world does not owe anybody a living" and that "life is what you make it." Whether this life is a bare one hour or 100 years, it is not the number of years but the way each second is "lived."
In the end, "it is not the winning that counts... it is the participation."
