Don't you ever get tired of hearing that things are great, grand, fine or perfect???
Sometimes in life things are not any of those things.

Sometimes things just are lame.

I talked to my greatest friend today and she told me just a few of the woes she's facing. Things are flat out lame for her right now. She's got all the things most people deal with in the course of any year, but she's got them all at once.
I am very proud of my friend for doing her best to stay positive about her situation , I had trouble doing that just listening to all the obstacles she tackling. How much can one person take before they snap??
Stand by to find out, I'll let you know how she does.

Many other people in my life want to slap a happy face on everything (even when it doesn't deserve one). I feel like lately everyone else i talk to wants to show me the bright damn side of everything.

Typically, I'm an optimist, I'm just not also a liar. In this case I had to go with the dark side instead and agree with her that things are a bummer. That's not to say I didn't encourage her, but I can admit that the whole thing is huge mess.
I'll be very very glad when things work out, as they always seem to for her. However, it's going to be amazing to see. Life's not cutting her any breaks.
