Attempting to Deal

If you understand the title you may want to continue reading (however, that is no guarantee). My intention is to write how I am feeling at this very moment, and it won't be universally understood. So, don't read it if you don't really understand me.

There is some kind of screeching outside. I love having the windows and doors open because claustrophobia is easily an indication of those who recognize how little so many have to offer. On the subject of "fears," even though that word doesn't even set well with me, I'd also list agoraphobia. Come on. Who the fuck in his or her right mind (oh, there's a select group) doesn't hate a multitude of people at some time...or other...or many...or pretty much always.

Jesus (capitalized only for the sake of grammar), the mall? Are you shitting me? Who the fuck wants to go to the mall with no intended purpose? Who the fuck wants to go to the mall even if there IS an intended purpose? For that matter...who wants to go to any store, look for anything, and deal with what you will get there?

By the same token, who wants to CALL any business?! Holy MFS, GUARANTEED, you will be in voice jail immediately...first listen to this statement about how we have changed our options (but it's better) and then here is what we are about (I think I know what you are about or I wouldn't be calling), then you have all the "press numbers shit." You could press exactly the number you think you need, but SURPRISE...takes you to a new menu with nothing you fucking need.

Who the hell makes up all this shit?! Who has the job of deciding whether or not to expand Route 7? Which genius didn't anticipate all the construction along the route? Who is it that allows no metro stop because...(I have heard)...too many Mexicans might take the metro into this area. Are you fucking kidding me??!! IF YOU CAN'T SPEAK SOME SPANISH IN NOVA, YOU ARE NOT GONNA GET WHAT YOU WANT ALREADY!!

Yes. I am a bit out of control at the moment. I can't exactly tell you why, so I am tagging certain people who I think might be able to help me figure it out. I apologize in advance for the tag. Please ignore it if you are tired of reading so much of what you already know and have reconciled.

Good god, you'd think I'd have reconciled all this myself by now...that's why I know it's something else.

And that is what I can't deal with...

Just another ridiculous array of stupidity.

I appreciate your support, Janet. Everything in life ebbs and flows. This blog was just "one of those days." Maybe I should consider writing when all is "strawberry fields forever." :~)
BTW, language is language to me.

Aside from the language, I can fully agree with most of what you've shared. Dealing with life in general is frustrating, but it is worth it. When we come out the other side of the _______, whatever that might be, we become stronger. I used to think of discipline as a negative term, but one day I realized that an athlete is disciplined, an artist, a vocalist, and a WRITER. Discipline makes us, rather forces us to do the work that is necessary to reach the goals and dreams we have. Getting past the crap in life and coming out the farside with our sanity intact is just that - discipline. Hang in there, girl. We've all had days like you've expressed above. Janet
