It's neat to me how this small gesture gets the point across very clearly. In cars, fights going on across a high school class room, or even when it's sneaky behind someones back, it's alway there. But even with out doing or seeing it...doesn't IT ever feel like life throws you a curve ball, stands by the dugout and just give you a good strong middle finger when you strike out? That's how I feel today. No one has given me this rude gesture and I surly haven't given it to anyone; but today feels like life is out to get me. In a few short (long) days I'm off to Oklahoma to visit a friend and her family, to see where she grew up. I'm so excited to get out of this dreadful town full of stupid battles no one can or will ever win. First off there is nothing to do here so people go around and make this sort of "drama" to keep the town interesting and "up to date" with the new things. By leaving and going to college in a different state; I feel like there's no time for this silly childhood behavior (even though it tends to sneak in) to keep things rollin. As I know I'm not the most mature but I do know how to see when things are getting out of control. While going through these hard times learning and realizing how you don't want to act has made realize that leaving this place was the best thing that has ever happened to me. And I praise God for the opportunity to do so. "When life knocks you down you have the choice to get back up" as said by the master Jackie Chan in the new movie Karate Kid. So even though today wasn't at all what I expected and it has knocked me for a good hard loop I am the only person that can choose rather to fall and whine or get up and continue the fight. Days like mine happen to everyone and no matter how rough it gets and how worthless you feel the decision is yours are you going to stay down? Sleep on it give the anger and frustration a day to simmer down keep your head up and always remember to stay POSITIVE!!!
