They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results....no shit Sherlock. The sad thing is, ALL of us are guilty of causing insanity in our own lives. What I would like to see is that we either change what we are doing in order to get different results or just shut the fuck up...
Now, I will say this, I love you all my followers and Facebook friends, but I got to come clean with ya...if you keep making the same mistakes over and over and over again, and bitching about those mistakes over and over and over again, you are going to get bitch slapped, MMM-kay? It doesn't mean I don't like you, it just means you need to wake the fuck up. (Sorry, I think Kenny may still be lurking around here.)
If you only date immature, drunken, douchebag losers, that is what you will be stuck with...so, when you break up, don't go back to the immature, drunken, douchebag loser. (Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.) Another note, and I can say this because A. I am old and B. I have experience in the matter. No matter what you think, you will not change him. He is not a science project, he is not a rescue pet, he be who he be and there is nothing you can do to make him different. You will simply adapt to his ways and either learn to live with them or you will get the fuck out.
If you think the world owes you something and that "society" didn't prepare you for life, you need a fist to the throat.. Blaming a group of others for your failures or shortcomings is like me blaming the Lay's Potato Chip Company for the size of my ass. They make chips, therefore it is their fault I am fat....um no. Here's a quick life lesson...life is a bitch. Do not expect to get handed things (unless you are a welfare rat.) Do not expect things to be tidy and simple and always organized. Life is messy and complicated and frequently fucked up. No, you will not always get the top job. No, you will not make six figures right out of college. No you will not always live in a nice house and drive a new car. There may be a day where you have to wipe someone's ass while living in a rental property and driving a Mercury Topaz... Not to go all lame ass quote happy on you but, in the words of the Gambler, "You got to know when to hold em and know when to fold em." Sometimes you go ahead and play the hand you were dealt, other times you say "fuck it" and wait for the next hand, but no matter what, it's not the fault of the dealer, its how YOU play the game.
Both of these go back to a previous post, take ownership of what you do and the choices you make. Be accountable. Don't blame others for the path you are on. It's not to say others don't exude a certain influence on you, but at the end of the day, the choices you make are YOURS...if you choose to take the douchebag back, chances are, he's going to fuck you over again. If you choose to blame someone else for something you had control over, chances are you will make the same mistake. If you choose to eat the cheddar crisps and not the celery, your jeans will continue to be tight...
I don't want to come across as a cold hearted bitch, because I know that we all need encouragement once in a while and we all need to bitch and gripe and get things off of our chest, but at the same time, stop for a minute and think about the choices you make and the outcome of those choices. If at the end of the day you are going to be okay with what happens, then more power to ya. If you aren't okay with what might happen...then stop the insanity...
Amen!! It took me a while to own up to my own problems, but I'm there!! It's so much easier to point fingers.

Exactly Brooke! I have no problem with people bitching about their problems if they are attempting to do something to change their situation and if they have ownership! :)
