Oh, 90db! Ya cut me to the quick! I thought we were, like, good buddies, too!
All I'm saying to the tykus is to quit the whining & deal.
Everything sucks, if you have that mind set.
Personally, I've liked a helluva lot about just about every period in my life, cuz I tried to live in the moment. When the moment sucks, I think about the near future. When the near future looks sucky, I think about something good in my past.
Yeah, I bitch a lot, but mostly it's for comedic affect. I try not to take life too seriously, cuz it tends to suck when ya give it too much power over you.
Your HS years are s'posed to be some of the best you'll ever experience, in many ppl's minds. Are you wasting them with a crappy attitude? Are you too dependent on the actions of others to make them worthwhile?
When you depend too heavily upon others for your good times, then yeah, you'll discover that most ppl are useless time-wasters, cuz each of us has our own agenda, & 99.999999% of the time, it ain't gonna match up with your expectations or desires. Get used to it.
Only YOU can make your life meaningful or fun or content. Others can only make it worser, if you don't improve your overall approach to life.
In closing, when life gives ya lemons, pucker up, baby, cuz it's gonna be sour as sh*t, unless ya add a bit of sugar!
