adage #5

No one wants to play a game they can’t win. So, I guess if we knew we all win, in the end, kind of like, nothing will matter, ultimately, as much as we want to believe it will, it just won’t. We’ll all be pushing up posies eventually, so let’s all relax and remember to take our chill pills before we go out in public (and even when we’re home with the kids.) Then, this planet will be so pleasant. But since it doesn’t matter, whatever works. Lol
What’s funny is, I totally see, now, that I’m a condescending asshole, I guess I learned what I was taught. Sorry for using it on you. I’m becoming aware of things I want to do differently.
Yeah. Like rest. Some more.
Hey, are we so done or what?
Let’s get on with this finishing thing.

  1. I knew there was something about you... Couldn't put my finger on it...
    In my family, we are not allowed to express anger. My mother has limited funds each month and one daughter and two grandkids seem to think she is an ATM. So what happens when Mom runs out of money? I got no money for her. Been out of work for three months. Sick.
    Oh, and I'm not allowed to let anyone know how ANGRY I am about it. My niece has not talked to me for about six months because I dared to tell her I was angry after she "borrowed" $950 from her Grandma. And she never calls her unless she wants money.
    It's only money, anyway.
    I guess you're going to insist it's pointless for me to be angry with folks. Really, it only hurts me, in the long run.
    Shit.

  2. cin, it is only money, yes, and kids like it. it's hard to say, "no," but sometimes ultimately "better" for us. and the ones who will learn to do it themselves and not rely on gramma or cindy lou to bail them out of the situations they got themselves into. i like that they need me, but they really don't. maybe i feel special when they ask me for things, but i also feel more broke and (gasp) angry that they take advantage of me. live and learn.
