"omg, i'm having another existential crisis!"

[lauralh]

so do people just have to invent shit to worry about when they actually make enough money to eat and leave the house and afford shit? I can't remember doing that kind of thing, other than worry about boys, but I always worry about boys, even when I'm one step away from living in my car. self-indulgence, blah blah blah, try making it on under 20K for a while, jackoffs. "why don't you go cruise the PTA for new lunchmeat or whatever it is you white girls care about."

Personally I'd rather be sorting through a garbage can, and have someone that loved me rather then stuffing my lonely arse mouth every night of the week.

As it is now I just ride the fence trying not to fall either emotionally or financially.

All that being said people that have never fallen drive me nuts. They don't have a reference point to what really matters.

This was a large part of my anguish last year. It was fucking gay.
It's a lil' better this year, but not by much.

Seriously though, seems like no one has a clue as to what it's like to regard toilet paper as a luxury...

God, my life is so fucking trying.

Ummm... what?

Oh sorry, did you say something? I was worrying about this single, errant hair that absolutely refuses to stay in place.

Sure, it's the drama-pyramid, akin to the food-pyramid. Once we're over the base drama needs we move to the upper levels. The higher, the bitchier.

how many people do you know who are like "my life is totally fine, I have no problems, and i'm fully actualized as a human being."? It sucks not meeting your basic needs, but once past that there's still generally quite a bit left to do. It just makes you appreciate sammiches a bit more.

Been there, done that. Spend time worrying about KEEPING from doing that again. Spend other time worrying that I'm headed back in that direction already. Spend more time convincing myself I'm not. Spend time after that arguing that I'm doing okay *for right now*, but I'm not going to be young forever, and Social Security ... isn't very secure. Spend time after that worrying that things will be bad long before Social Security anyway, and thinking how much harder it will be if I need to leave Columbia. Then I spend some time being bitter about the way financial reward just doesn't seem to be very tied either to how hard you work or to what you're capable of, so much as it does just what segment of society you were born into and how good you are at "playing the game".

I'm so much happier when I'm poor and in love. Right now I'm just poor, so i'm only halfway to happiness. Working on the other half though.
