You Just Kind of Know

Failure isn’t a bad thing and I don’t think that you should ever give up on your dreams. However, I know that I’ve met people in my life who have done so. Those are the people that I try to offer a bit more patience to but the thing is, they are generally not great to be around.

They tend to have a low level of annoyance going at all times. Like a bull constantly getting ready to fight against something. The whole world is frustrating to them. They want vengeance for their dashed dreams. It’s even worse if the world has piled up things that just further push them away from what they really wanted to do. Children, jobs they hate but need or other things like that.

Those things that pile up just churn up more bitterness. Eventually, leading them to have their hatred and anger right behind the eyes. You can see it almost a mile away in these people. The bitterness.

I’ve always believed that you shouldn’t give up on your dreams and that you should push towards them. I know though that I write that from a place of extreme privilege in that I have no one to take care of but myself and I have a good enough job to afford me to do what I want to do.

So, the only thing I can offer is to find a way to do it in an affordable way when you can, which is a tall order for some people. My father knew about my dreams of being a writer but he always wanted me to make sure that I had a job to fall back on. I find the little hours where I can write. According to Stephen King you’re a writer when you have six-eight hours a day to write. I think that that’s stupid though. What would be the point if you’re sitting there and nothing is coming out? I think you should always be thinking about your writing or whatever your hobby is. It can calm you throughout the day.

The benefit for those looking to achieve their dreams is that it’s slightly more possible with the world of Youtube. You can use that to find your possible fans, to elevate yourself and just find a community. It’s raised stars from a variety of people and it could be someone else.

All to make the world a little less angry. Lord knows there’s too much of it. Maybe it would also stop people from voting stupidly.

THAT One Dream: The Trifecta

Everyone’s had that dream that you show up to a class that you’ve never been there before or you’re late for a big test or you’re in class but you’re not wearing any clothes.  What about the trifecta?  You show up to a class late, not wearing pants and you haven’t been there the entire year.  That would be the worst.

But what about the other people in that class?  What are they thinking?

“This idiot doesn’t show up all year but they still show up for the final exam?  How did they know it was today if they’ve never been here?  But they show up for it late.  Not wearing pants.  You were fifteen minutes late and you couldn’t even put on a goddamn pair of pants.  How dare you.  Do you know how hard we all worked in this class.  Go fuck yourself.”
