I’ve Had Enough!
Ok, that’s it. This has gone on long enough. I won’t take any more of this.
I’m tired of being so whiny and depressed. I’m putting a stop to it here and now.
How dare I have so many negative postings these days? Yes, October has been a somewhat sucky month, but isn’t that largely my own fault?
I may have over-extended myself and taken on too much, but that was my choice. And let’s take a look at what I’ve taken on: a theater festival designed to reach a specific audience that is often overlooked in my small town. I might not be thrilled about how it’s progressed, but I’m making an effort to bring something special to the community.
My job has been stressful, but it’s moving in a positive direction. I feel like I’m proving myself and I am being treated with more respect. I have co-workers I can enjoy speaking to and have even spent time with outside of work for the first time in years.
So maybe my guy situation is complicated. It’s providing me with fantastic fodder for a new book idea and someday may make me rich and famous. I should be embracing it!
I am officially forcing myself out of this slump. There are Pumpkin Spice Lattes and Hairspray the movie and sweet potato fries.
I, Kari M., hereby officially promise to get my head out of my own rump and remember that the more negative thoughts I project, the more depressed I will in turn become. Therefore, I will no longer sit around and bemoan the state of the world when I should be trying to embrace the positive influences around me.
My apologies for flooding the world with my depression. There’s enough unhappiness without me posting about my issues and sending it out to the rest of you. Hopefully, you will have learned from my miserable example and feel motivated to find something not terrible to focus on.
I can’t promise it will work forever (after all, I do have rehearsal tonight which might easily plunge me back into the depths of despair) but I will make more of an effort. Honest.
