Dear Life
Life,
Why is it that you are always trying to teach me the same lessons? Do you think that I did not get the point the first three times? Or is it that you are a sadistic and vile person who loves to kick the crying puppies? I tend to think that you are the latter. Why else would you keep treating me thus?
Do you purposely try to beat a dead horse? Look, I am not a horse, nor am I dead yet, so please stop!
You’ve given me hope, to only crush it. You’ve taken the best I’ve had away from me with only the worst remaining. Just when I think things cannot get any worse, thank you Life, you show me how it can. I’m glad you’re my friend Life, because I know I don’t need enemies now. Why would I? You’re always beating me down to let me know you’re the boss.
Such a bully!
Everything that I’ve ever wanted, or dreamed of, you’ve kept it as that, a dream. I’ve searched for Happiness and Love everyday, yet you keep them hidden. Is it really to be so? That you cannot let me be? Why would you do that to me? What have I ever done to you? From the cradle til now, you’ve whipped and flogged me, thrown me down hills and against walls. Why will you not get it out of your head that I’m not dead, nor a horse!
Curse you and persistence. You’re the thorn in my side and you keep wiggling further and further into my skin. Constantly you feel the need to inflict and torture me, and yet, I keep pushing on, despite you.
Yes, despite you, and your sadism, I keep moving on. I know those dreams, wants, and needs you keep from me will be in my grasp. I shall defeat you Life, you and your evil and vile ways. I know that you’re not a fairy tale, where I’ll live happily ever after, but I also know that you’re not suppose to be the villain.
Why don’t you do me a favor Life. Get a new hobby and invest in some therapy. Walk a day in my shoes with me treating you as you see the need to treat me.
Sincerely and Desperately,
Almost Alice.
Do you need to talk? Did something happen?
It’s a very empty and lonely feeling that set in today.
I’m sorry. Anything I can do to help?
Sadly not right now. I just feel as soon as I get part of my life together, the rest falls apart. Yippie.
Oh, well. Um, I don’t know what’s going on so I’m not sure what else to say. Hope things get better for you!
Thanks hun. It’s hard to state exactly, but I can try. It use to be my work and income were non existent, if not unliked, dreaded. Now that it’s not so bad, I’m realizing how empty my life seems. I was the child who said I was going to have a family, and here I am, 30, and no one in my life. It feels empty.
Are you ready for all of that? I don’t know how long ago it all happened.
The “event” happened 9 years ago almost to the day. I keep trying to get past it, but each time I get suckered punch by life, makes it harder.
Hmmm…maybe make yourself get out there and be social? Maybe a social circle could also double as a support system.
Sadly the last time I did, was the JERK that said I asked for everything to happen to me, and that it was my fault. Go Team!
I didn’t necessarily mean getting a boyfriend. Just friends in general.
I do have some.
Maybe spend more time with them so you’re not by yourself so often?
I did last night. Went to a brewery for dinner and drinks after work. Was nice. Just wish I could do it more often.
Oh well, made comfort food tonight. Med rare cajun rubbed steak and onions.
Sounds good! You saving me any?
Sure! Get on over here!
*scratches head* Where are you?
Lol. The rabbit hole. Or Pitts.
Hmmm…I’m on Tatooine. I’m not sure I’ll be able to make it over there while it’s still hot.
Perhaps not. There are quite a few doors to get through after that long fall.
Doors? Like blast doors? Or doors with knobs? We don’t have knobs over here so I’m not sure how to work them.
I’ll send the white rabbit, just follow him.
I’ve heard about that guy. I’m not sure I trust him.
He’s rather tricky, and good at hide and seek, just need to know how to deal, and stay away from the treats in the pockets.
Hmmm….I think I’ll just head to the cantina to have some Corellian Ale and a nice, juicy nerf-steak instead. This all seems quite fishy to me.
I shall have to visit these cantinas one day.
Best be armed if you do. Some of the clientele is pretty seedy.
I shall have to find one of these so called trusty blasters then.
I’d hook you up, but the Empire might frown upon that and strip me of my position. Sorry.
It’s not like I am one of those cursed rebels.
It matters not. You are a civilian and as such I cannot arm you. I’m nothing without my armor and I would not risk it, even for a friend such as you.
I shall find a smuggler then. I’ve heard they can be found in these cantinas.
You heard correctly. But be weary, they are scum.
We’re attracted to each other.
Hmmm…if you’re attracted to smugglers I’m not sure we can remain friends…
I find them useful if I need things. However, you cannot love a smuggler.
Who are you to tell me who I can or cannot love?
That is not the love you are looking for. *waves hand*
You realize that I’m sworn to hunt down the Jedi, right? Don’t make me hurt you.
There has got to be a way around this.
There is. Join me and we shall rule the galaxy as Twindaddy and Alice.
Deal.
Hurrah!!
I can see the comics and epic adventures theyd make about us!
It’s quite amazing, is it not?
It is. We shall be famous adventurers.
Hoorah!!
BTW, you’ve been nominated. http://stuphblog.wordpress.com/2013/01/18/ill-procrastinate-later/
I shall have to reply about that later.
Oh, alright.
It will happen and it will be awesome.
That’s the spirit!
I would say I try, but Ive been told that it does not exist.
It’s true. There is no try.
Thus, it shall either be, or not be.
Well, that certainly clears it up. Thanks.
Someone had to do it, might as well have been I.
Well you did a wonderful job. Thanks for stepping up.
It’s what I am here for.
Is it really?
One would think, but then again, it could be my imagination.
I vote for C.
And that would be?
I’m not sure. Wasn’t there an option C? No? Perhaps I need to go to bed…
Here I thought you had a better idea, though now all I’m thinking about are donuts.
Going to bed is a pretty good idea. I just got in here to check a couple of things before I pass out.
I got caught up in trying to organize. It will never be done, but was something to focus on for a bit.
Organize what?
My blog. Trying to put everything in it’s proper place with categories, redoing about page, creating menus…
Sounds fun.
Was either that or focus on organizing finances. This was my distraction.
Yeah…mine, too.
Maybe tomorrow. I think.
Perhaps.
There is always a chance in the forecast. Just have to wait and see.
I don’t know. It looks like the chances of procrastination are 100%.
Ah, but I could use it to procrastinate about another task that is in need of being done.
Cookies!
Oh! Okay, then I am definitely down for that.
{Hugs}
Thanks
