Trouble in La La Land

Blogging is therapeutic; that's what it is, therapeutic.  

My life seems to have been taking on the 'upsy-downsy' trend quite recently, and this week was just one of those low parts.  Everything was such a downer.  But hey! I blog when I'm happy, I blog when I'm sad, and in the end, everything seems to level itself out. (only that you hope to find that happy-o-meter more towards the full side of the spectrum.  Which I always do!)

Made this myself, no lies!

Where I find myself standing in the grand scheme of things, I do not know.  Although I am more sure of myself in the present than I had been prior to now within this week, things are still a bit cloudy as this great fog of gloom begins to pass.  If you be a friend, then worry you not! there is no need for panic just yet!  I may not have been as happy and attentive to you all this week, but there lies a good reason and a root to all these grievances of mine: bus trouble!  But, nay, not so much the yellow steed itself, as the riders that commute upon it.  And that is all that need be said on that matter.

However, I am past that now, and every time something like this happens, I gain a seance of pride for having survived it.  Not unharmed, mind you, but my wounds and my battle scars add to my character and will someday make me a stronger, better man.  One cannot fight a war without gaining some new knowledge of life and its complex inner workings, ever if it does hurt at the time.  Not ever!

After careful thought, I have decided to succeed in spite of things and those around me.  Life will continually try to challenge you and strip you of your dreams, but as long as I live I WILL NEVER LET IT HOLD ME DOWN!!!  Revenge is not the most desirable trait but neither is a soft foot on the soils of all to that in which you believe or give cause and reason to.  I may be on the defensive end and the one that has to receive the most hardest blows, but I most certainly do not want to be the 'push over' in the lot.  I can dodge all I want, but ever so often I must take a hit!  To me, the greatest vengeance in life can be won through your own pursuits, and not by dampening the pursuits of others.  That is, love your neighbor, even when love is not mutual, and maybe someday, when you have grown and since surpassed them and their league, they will regret not accepting the love you gave and the possibility of friendship or acquaintanceship they had with you that is long since gone, and the grievance and jealousy will be a most heavy burden on them and none on you.

The ability you have to succeed in life is the best possible weapon you have against those who challenge you in the present.  Use it! for success is the greatest source of vengeance you have to pin against the chest of all foes!~

Ahhhh... It feels good letting that all out.
