uhh i decided to go to class late (slept for about 3 hours last night) and pick up my check since it was on the way...
my car ran out of gas on the off ramp where the 10 hits the 15...
walked about a mile on the freeway to ampm and begged people for enough change to make a phone call so that the only person i know down here, and didn't particularly want to see today, could come pick me up to go buy a gas can and fill it.
i couldn't bring myself to beg people for change.
someone made me promise them that i would never, ever beg anyone for anything and to call them instead.
so i sat in front of the gas station, trying really hard not to cry, figuring out what to do.
a nice man came up to me and asked me if everything was ok.
i asked him if he had any change i could use for the payphone.
he walked back in the store and came out with $.55, which i didn't know was $0.15 short of making a call.
a very nice man gave me $5 to get a soda, make my call, get some gas, etc. he also let me use his cell phone.
he offered to drive me home, and to buy me a gas can and gas, but I told him he had already done more than enough and thanked him about 60 times.
i got a xxx water and quarters to use the payphone since i couldn't get ahold of anyone on his cell.
people like that make me happy to be alive.
the whole gas ordeal took about 3 hours.
when i arrived back at my car with the gas, a tow truck was there, ready to tow my car.
i got the fuck out as quickly as possible.
cashed my check, deposited half of it.
went to coffee bean and got an ice tea and a lemon coconut cupcake.
then went to get a pedicure.
i haven't gotten my nails done in almost a year...
every once in a while, i think you need to do something for yourself.
especially when things turn to complete shit.
those 3 things, as simple as they seem, turned my attitude and overall happiness around 180 degrees.
i don't believe in any sort of god(s) but i do believe that everything happens for a reason.
(not believing in anything or anyone stronger than yourself probably doesn't help the situation a lot of times, but it's hard when believing that something else has control of your destiny in some way, shape, or form doesn't make sense to me)
there isn't a single action that takes place on any given day that doesn't have the potential to change the rest of your life.
it could be as simple as a left turn instead of a right turn, or a stranger's smile.
sometimes it seems like the universe has just taken a humongous dump right onto your lap, or splooged all over both of your eyes, but if it didn't you wouldn't really be able to understand the true beauty of what surrounds you daily if it didn't.
i think that people get too comfortable sometimes with life and how things are going... and become too afraid of change.
they get stuck in the same routines and follow the same patterns.
but i also think people make too many long term goals that encompass years of their lives that they aren't even guaranteed to reach... and get too stressed out because of them..
today i set forth a few goals for myself because i am tired of the days blending together.
but with these goals, i am keeping in mind, that i only have today to worry about, and i need to do what i can to make everyday better than the last...
everything falls into place in the end anyway so there's no use wasting time worrying about tommorrow...
