Happy Times
I totally became unraveled this morning. All my pent up aggression and frustration came to a head this morning as I was walking to the subway station. I was on the phone with Cali guy, and I unexpectedly ruptured. I was yelling on the top of my lungs while I was crossing the street, "I'm almost thirty and I have nothing. Nothing! Nothing to show for my life..." To this he responded, "You have 2 Master's degrees and a career." Anyway, I had an hour subway ride to collect my irrational thoughts.
After watching Lost tonight, I decided I would do what Charlie did on the show. Write down my five favorite memories. This won't really mean anything to anyone, but this is going to act as a therapeutic relief for me.
- 5. Driving down the 15 freeway with my sunroof open, wearing my sunglasses and feeling the sun on my skin.
- 4. Graduating from my undergrad institution. I worked really hard and it surprised me.
- 3. Driving through five states from Buffalo to Atlanta during Autumn.
- 2. Driving from Buffalo to New York City with my car packed to the rim to start my new life.
- 1. My trip to San Francisco with people I don't talk to anymore. I got so drunk I had alcohol poisioning and couldn't get out of bed until 5pm the next day. But we had a shit load of fun.
I think being stuck in the negativity of everyday life has gotten me so far off course of rationality that I need to remind myself of when I was happy. Not to say that I'm not happy, I'm okay.

as someone on the brink of 30, i can tell you its not THAT bad. i look forward to my 30s, actually, as i have heard that they will be the best years of my life. i am confident that this is true.
and yes, i too have amazing memories of san francisco. =)~
a bj from jc. yes i know. you are such a slag.
i hate that word. just say PIMP. its more fitting. thanx.
As someone in her 30s, and who was petrified of not having everything I wanted before giving up her 20s, I can tell you that it honestly gets better. You really don't even know yourself until you're at least 30. Just have fun & enjoy the rest of your 20s instead of wasting your time yelling at a boyfriend, or whatever, who lives on the other side of the country.
Congrats on being inspired by Lost.
