My co-worker's mom just died. He's a wreck, but he's making a go of it.
My cousin is in stage 4 ovarian cancer. She won't be around much longer, and spends most of her time in a morphine-induced haze.
The neighbors fight every night, and I'm sleeping on the couch at the other end of the house to avoid the noise.
My friend gave an inspirational talk to a roomful of women, and he's completely clueless to the significance of using only male role-models throughout his talk.
I just realized that politicians are nothing more than glorified salespeople, and that I wouldn't buy a used car from any of the current candidates for president of the U.S.
I've also just realized that the key to popularity is the packaging, promoting, and "selling" of one's self to your audience (fans, family, friends, coworkers, et cetera) without concern for substance or value. No wonder I can't stand salespeople or celebrities.
And I can't do anything to change any of this.
I'm tired.
very sorry about your cousin and all this happening at once.
