Disconnect the dots

i think we all get too caught up in what we're doing too often too much; we always forget to take a breather to smell the roses. and we're all (we, here referring to you and i) too caught up in this paperchase, this material race that we always take the here-and-now for granted (oh admit it already). and too often, i need little reminders like today to keep me grounded and appreciative.

i am blessed, and yes so are you. we all are. and i'm keeping this in mind and hopefully it'll stick, so slap me the next time i moan about my sad excuse for a life (hur hur).

i don't know whether it's because i feel too much, for things that i (apparently) should have no business worrying about. the cherry on the cake is that i can't do anything to helpanyway. i think for me, feeling like this is inevitable, it's a facet of my personality i just can't change. so here i am tonight, feeling a powerless, a little miserable and humbled. yes, you humble me with your resilience, strength and i really have so much to learn from you. i'm going to try not to feel sorry for you, because i see that you clearly don't feel sorry for yourself and that is something i really, really respect.

so now, every time i bitch/whine/moan/cry about my sad life, i will think of you and try, every day, to be more like you.
