Optimism 
So it's another Monday and I came to the conclusion that it's usually your own fault if you don't enjoy your life. I've been feeling a bit unfulfilled with my work and some of my circumstances and I kept on thinking that my life would be awesome if I could just go back to studying full time. Well, this weekend we flew to Jo'burg to meet with family and a friend of mine was there. She had just started full time studying and all she could do was complain about it. How hard it was, how far the college was, how frustrating the lecturers were, etc etc. And then I suddenly came to the realization that maybe the grass isn't greener on the other side ... you know, everything has it's challenges and focusing on the problems of your circumstances will make your miserable. Enjoy your life. No matter how hard it seems to do so. She had everything I wanted and she was more miserable than I was - it's not what life throws at you that makes you miserable, it's how you react to it.
So I'm going to enjoy my life no matter how badly my job gets me down! YEAH!

Do you guys understand what I'm trying to say?
Funny Thing I Stole

Dear Martin,
I don't really know how to tell you this, I'm joining the Convent. I think I realized it when you smacked my ass under the bus and I saw you sit on my boyfriend.

Go milk a cow,
