lathrieltoday i adopted a new motto: fuck 'em. Or, possibly: fuck it.
Because if you're not doing anything wrong or hurting anybody else, then, really, why should you care? Fuck 'em. Especially if, by considering them, you only do yourself harm.
Does that make sense?
Fuck it.
oy.
here you go
stress is defined as "to give prominence or importance too." ooh don't i feel special. it's also defined as "To subject to physical or mental pressure, tension, or strain."
I hate the word stress. it is the gimmick of the spa industry, the golden button of empathy, if not (*spit*) sympathy. Oh yes, and my favorite: MENTAL HEALTH, because, gall darnit, when talking don't work, there's gotta be a pill for it!
(pfizer, you give me $85 in dividends quarterly, but you're killing our great nation)
Everyone is under stress. It's a natural product of life. And over-working and luxuriating in the mud bath of stress is the most common fad around in this our 21st century. Students. Parents. Kids.
Yea everyone.
So, guys, don't be a jerk. cause you might be the jerk that pushes someone over that invisible edge. I met that jerk today. I haven't cried in 3 years over anything but my grandfather's death and my dog's death. But today, I cried twice, and no one died. I was just sick and tired of bullshit.
I blame retail. I blame part time jobs and shitty wages. I blame irresponsible people and poor communication and sass and prejudice and seniority and technology and most of all i blame myself.
Lady, what a mess i've gotten myself into.
