Sometimes life sucks. Sometimes it is pretty awesome. The funny thing about all this is how none of it will last. Almost as funny as when I used your toothbrush to clean my ears… oh wait… I forget to tell you about that? Forget that last part. No matter what is going on in the moment, it will be gone, lost in time like dinosaurs and child stars. The only thing in life that you can really count on is how there is nothing in life that you can actually count on.
The other night, The Munch woke up at 3:30 and talked to herself until 5:45. Just when I thought I was going to rip my ears off my face and stuff them down her throat she curled up behind me, spooned my back, and slept until 9.
It made me think of how fruitless negative emotions are… they are obviously more vegetable. Why bother getting annoyed when whatever is aggravating you is only temporary anyway? Lets say you are stuck on the runway and your plane won’t take off. Yeah, it sucks that you are developing restless leg syndrome, sure the captain keeps lying to you about when you are going to leave, okay fine your mouth is so dry you are debating licking the window for moisture because they won’t give you any drinks or let you stand up to get one, but you are not going to be on that plane for the rest of your life. And really, the only one that is suffering by your annoyance is you. And whoever is sitting next to you listening to your complaints, but who cares about them?
Point is, the best thing you can do for yourself, who as the only person that really matters anyway, is accept whatever is happening at all times. If there is nothing you can actively do to change what is going on, just remember that it isn’t going to last anyway. Or go ahead and bitch about it, because you know how annoying those people are who accept life for all it is and preach to you to do the same.
Don’t worry Munch… it is not going to rain for all of eternity, it just feels that way
