I would like to follow up on my day as it concludes (that last post was so rushed). I would like to set the tone with this: its 2 AM, I am coming of 2 doubles at 2 jobs, and its not over til tomorrow at 4. I'm alone, and really don't want to be. I chose music, and writing over watching tv and passing out.
I was thinking to myself, at about 10 PM, how do you fine a bad day? Me personal, I don't label a day a "bad day" until it's over. I'm always open to the opportunity of a change of heart from fate. But 10 o'clock I had decided, "this was definitely a bad day". I called it just right because my day has finally come to an end...and it never improved. Although, I did win 1 game of pool. I don't want to bitch about my bad day though because who cares. It happens to the best of us. I would like to catalog some of the lessons that I can take from the say.
Numero uno: Do NOT keep your precious cell phone in your apron pocket
2. Do NOT drink beverages without lids
3. No one really likes to hear a complainer, even if you are participating in an existing conversation. Work sucks already, why make it worse by talking about how much it sucks? It might even make it suck less, if you learn to live by one of my favorite little 'ism's if you will: " If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all"
4. Think about your next move. Think think THINK! Shouldn't be hard right? It's common sense; we learn this stuff starting from birth. Every action has and equal and opposite reaction. So when you do something, big or small, you should have a pretty good idea of what the outcome will be. I mean, even if it's an educated guess, you made that decision for a reason, hopefully a good one. So why does a "pretty smart" girl like me fail at the basics like: remember your house key or eat before you drink? Keep you phone away from possible liquid damage; commonly found in restaurants. Unfortunately, I must have been on another planet when I was child because I failed to learn any common sense when it comes to mind daily interactions with life. It can be argued that the environment I grew up in had something to do with that, but that's arguing for the wrong side. You just need to think things alway through, do the end outcome.
5. You can't make everyone happy, so don't try. It just makes everyone (including you) unhappier. Do what makes you happy, and bring the ones along that want to do the same things. You really can't go wrong.
6. This last lesson isn't a lesson at all. It is a question to a lesson yet to learn. And unfortunately, I am unable to put it into words. It deals with the various realms of love, between family, friends, and lovers. The balance between them. And when they conflict, who is right and who is wrong? What is right and wrong, who decides? People in various categories love you in different ways. You have to use your judgement based on your perspective to make choices. It is natural to go to others for support or advice, but ultimately it's up to you how you use this feedback to handle tough situations. It deals with trust as well. I trust everyone, and when truths contradict, I'm at a devastating loss. But if I can't trust people I love, what good are they?
It goes on from there, and I will not know the conclusion until tomorrow. But I do hope tomorrow is a good day. I look forward to its start...in 6 hours. And hopefully I can figure out how to make today make a lasting impression based on what I've 'learned'.
