I am not in your shoes. You are not in mine. Yet and still I feel that there decisions that you could have made that wouldn't have you feeling the way you do - miserable. Like any other emotions you have, you can take control of it. I'm not saying you are not allowed to feel miserable but more often than not if you are unhappy I gotta question why that may be the case
I was texting my friend today... and it was generic chat. You know what's up, how are you and things of that nature. So conversation proceeds as such.
Her: On my way to school
Me: Yay school!
Her: LOL neva yay
Me: lol.. but ur getting ur JD next year tho
Her: So what. I hate law
Side bar: I missed the so "what" factor earlier. I didnt think getting your JD was something to just say so what towards. Juris Doctorate for those who dont know what JD stands for
Me: Do you really?
Her: Yea I hate school
Me: Hating school is different from hating law
Her: I hate law as well
Me: So why do it if you hate it
Her: Too far in
Me: I gather but why even start
Her: B/c I had nothing else to do at the time
I didnt reply back because i didn't quite know what to say ... that and I had work to do
I pose this question to anyone who reads this: If you have nothing else to do, would you go to law school knowing you dont like law and you dont like school? Now my answer off the bat would be no. I dont do things I dont want to do if I dont have to do it. I dont get it. I really dont.
I can be miserable when I am ready and I know that. I also know that I choose those moods. It is much easier to be mad and miserable than it is to be happy and what not.
Long story short: Pick your poison.
If people choose to be miserable, there is nothing you can do about it because that is what they choose. You cannot choose for them. You can only help people who want to help themselves. It is said that misery loves company but that aint company I want to keep. When Im miserable I dont even want to bother people with my woes. It's selfish. I dont want you to feel bad because I feel bad but we are human. Shyt happens.
With that being said, I am gonna take my behind to sleep because I will surely be miserable tomorrow if i dont get enough of it.
So I have a great deal to say about this topic. Because I too have a great deal of friends who have made such decisions. And the only conclusion I have come to is that the statement "Misery loves company" is definitely correct. So this is my take, when trying to drag me into your misery or get sympathy from me..YOU LOSE! Sorry I am loving my life and if you want vindication that you are doing the right thing then sorry youre not getting that from me either.
ReplyDeleteIn the end I am a believer in doing what you want to do. However, if you make a piss poor decision dont expect me to be in your pity party. There are people dying in the middle east and you are sad because you are going to make buckets of money at the ripe age of 26. PLEASE.STOP!
Sincerely,
