That would have totally sucked if that were my car!! But it's not. I got into a car accident today (no one was harmed though!) on my way to run some errands. I won't post the details, but I hit a pedestrian while making a left turn (right after waiting at a stop light) and then got rear-ended immediately after. My bumper is all smashed up, but the trunk still opens! I'm grateful to be alive and well, although I'm pretty sure whip lash is going to hurt like hell tomorrow.
Aside from that, major family drama has been going on with my boyfriend's sister. I'm not going to post all his dirty laundry on here, but she posted some seriously insulting stuff on her facebook profile (which I've now blocked) that insulted her own father, her step mother, my boyfriend, and me (I take offense to what she posted about him, like, I got so mad I saw red). But it's funny that the moment I found out about all this insulting drama is when I got in my car accident. Needless to say, everyone in her family has blocked/removed her from their facebook accounts as well as blocked/removed/deleted her phone number. In a nutshell: girls with abandonment issues and daddy issues who are single parents with different baby daddies will use sob stories to get money from long lost family members to support their selfish materialistic lifestyles that leave them lonely and unfulfilled. Turns out being 23 and a parent doesn't make you a grown up. Who knew??
But the strange turn of events made me really happy with my life. And I'll be honest, I started out this morning with a sour note, and now it's turned into something very positive and spiritual and gratifying. I'm happy to be alive, to still have a drivable car, to have supporting and loving family, to have a job that gives me the best hours ever, and to have a solid future ahead of myself. I felt that way while walking into work. And then I found 5 dollars. (I've always wanted to use that phrase.)
But the bigger picture is this: someone always has it worse than you; someone always has it better than you, but our lives and our living situations are ours to make the best of. You either accept the fact that your life sucks and make it the best sucky life ever, or you can wallow in your own pity and alienate yourself from every finding true happiness in life. I was so upset because a shirt I bought over my Christmas vacation shrank in the wash and I was so upset because I felt like I have no clothes that fit me, that I'm losing too much weight, I'm too skinny, blah blah blah...and now I'm feeling great, I look cute today, I did my makeup, I took a hot shower (to help with the neck pain), I divulged in my own simple pleasures to make me happy today, and I'm excited to come home to a man who makes my heart feel like liquid gold.
