And life goes on...

So I had quit blogging, again. But my nails are drying and I don't feel like doing anything else I could be doing. Warning: Super emo post ahead.

This weekend was the weekend of the "you never know what's going to get thrown at you" experiences. I had a few starting Friday night, ending today. The one that truly made me feel shitty of course had a larger impact than the others - and larger than I should have let it, but I am human. However, the one following it was one of those experiences that remind you that things could be worse, or there are people out there who have experienced much worse but still keep their heads up and love life and have faith and believe in fate. I'm not quite there yet, but I know it's possible. I hope. It also occurred to me that I had never been totally screwed over, or better yet, totally walked all over. I've definitely been in pain, suffered losses, but non a result of total disregard for my feelings. I've had falling out with friends, all of which can't compare. My consistent and nasty habit of trusting every person I meet and always believing that everyone has a good side and finding the best in people finally bit me in the ass.

The good news is I have a few amazing friends and family members that are always here for me no matter what and I am 100% capable of pretending like I'm not crushed inside and going out and having a great time. I'm learning that you can't let dickheads get the best of you. And I don't mean super cool and hip dickheads like myself, but those dickheads that only care about themselves and continue to make horrible life-threatening decisions, or decisions that threaten to ruin one's life. And when you do force yourself to move on with life and continue to do the activities that make you happy, you can briefly forget about your issues. Although I wish the one person i could talk to about all of my feelings about anything isn't here any longer, I know that she's helping me to keep moving forward....and life goes on.
