I'm Back!!
i feel as if for the last 3 months my mind and my body went on this trip to a bad bad place... this whole ordeal has completely opened my eyes and as usual i've learnt obvious things that my head has always known but now my heart does as well. so here goes (i'm probably just gonna sound like your mother for the next while and i strongly appologize)
1) everyone is poor, ppl that work, in school, married, kids, retired, doesn't matter everyone is always spending their money and they never have enough!! so by default i believe i'm rich, someone has to be
2) ppl are not perfect!! i love those moments where your hair is in a ponytail (side or normal doesn't matter hehe), no make-up... basically look like crap and you can just let things all go and hang out wiht ppl cause you know they'll love you no matter how stupid you are. personally i think i and maybe others agree spend way too much time trying to create this perception of ourselves as flawless. we're not!! (not to say you shouldn't work to be a better person...)
3) everyone is always stressed all the time!!! i think this is being an adult, as noted earlier there's never enough money and ppl just keep making mistakes, and then imagine having to please a husband/wife and dealing with kids!!!!! CRAZY. yep so success is how you deal with stress aka don't letting it dwell.
4) if you want to be you can always be depressed. yes we can all be a little Debbie Downer. the one thing i've learnt in university is that society is simply fucked up, there are always things that suck, bad things are constantly happening to me. the good news is that sometimes good things happen too and they're totally worth it.
i went to school today smiling, no real reason just decided i wasn't gonna let the man get me down anymore. it was so strange ppl looked at me as if i was some kind of freak.

i was thinking about what i'd like to be put on my tombstone (actually i really just want a bench but whatever) today and i realized what really matters isn't if it says that i'm a teacher, a wife, mother or some other sort of success. i just want to be known as someone that smiled and enjoyed life!!
