I am a firm believer that we make our own heaven or hell...
... and our moods largely depend on simply ourselves. For instance, I am either going to completely ignore the fact that the idiot upstairs was cranking out really bad country music until at least 4:00 am this morning and continue on as usual, or I am going to blame every negative thing that happens to me today on that rat bastard. And so far, I've got a lot of fingerpointing stored up.
-My dog died today.
-I have 33 bucks to my name until my next paycheck. Like 12 whole days from now. And that one is going to go just as fast.
-I have had a constant headache since last Monday.
-My best friend is moving again.
-I've got a lot of student loans to worry about.
But the end result is this: do I work myself up into an acid frenzy of hate, or just simply shake it off? I mean, I've got a lot of stuff to be thankful for. I've got family, friends and a beautiful girl who loves me. I'm pretty healthy... at least I know that my headache is going to go away, eventually. And my dog is finally at peace.
I'm at peace. At peace with myself.
For the time being.
