Things I love #120…Finding a shirt I like, while also, finding my size in the shirt I like.
Things I love #121…Finding a shirt I really like, but realizing they don’t have my size, and so I ask them to check the back, and I wait, and they come back, with the shirt I like… in my size.
Let’s Go 2 Work.
August 2024:
Week One- Doctor reveals to me that my kidneys are in a concerning decline, and it is imperative I speak with a specialist (I’m pretty sure this is a consequence of using ecstasy pills heavily during my marriage).
Week Two-After pleading with me that he is in dire need of my financial assistance, and will be forced to do something he does not want to do, and after receiving $1000 of my hard-earned money, my son gets locked up anyway for being a goon, a miscreant, a complete and absolute…idiot
Week Three- My bank account is frozen by a court order. Why? Because of my mother. What does my mother have to do with it? My mother has been sued by JC Penney. She owes them $5000. Because my mother ignored the numerous attempts to reach an agreement, the court ruled in JC Penny’s favor. The law firm hired by JC Penny appointed a receiver who is given permission by the court to freeze any accounts associated with her social security number. And because I once had the bright idea to make her a joint owner on my accounts just in case I could not access my money for whatever reason, and because a receiver cannot legally seize currency from any accounts in which government funds are deposited, MY bank account was the one frozen. On top of the bank freeze…they took their $5000, without having to ask or tell me a bitch ass thang.
Week Four- With DESPERATE need of going out and having some fun, at the last minute, my partner in crime cancels on me…for the fifth time. I mention nothing of what I’m going through and downheartedly reply… “Okay.”
Why am I telling you all 0f this?
Because once you determine who you are and where you’re going, life will take it upon itself with great satisfaction to ALWAYS ask you, “ARE YOU SURE?”
You’ve decided to lose weight, and you say to yourself, “From this day forth, I am a person who lives a healthy lifestyle!” You’ve been going to the gym for a month straight with no problems, and then all of a sudden… the gym closes due to repairs, it’s become harder and harder to eat nutritiously, something feels wrong with your lower back, and, your car is trippin’. This is life saying to you, “Hey, I heard you say a month ago that you’re a person who lives a healthy lifestyle. That’s cool. But my question for you is…Are you sure?”
There is a quote that states, “Winning keeps its hands in its pockets so that it doesn’t accidently point at someone unworthy.”
All of the things that happened to me in the month of August was simply life asking me, “Are you sure?”
My response… “YES, I AM SURE I AM ALL THE THINGS I SAY I AM! I AM SURE I AM GOING WHERE I SAY I AM GOING! AND I AM SURE I WANT THE LIFE I SAY I WANT!”
So, when life starts lifin’,
and it comes to ask you this question, because I GUARANTEE you it fuckin’ will,
will you STAND FIRM and have FAITH in what you KNOW… or will you cower and retreat like always?
