What have I learned at the halfway mark?
- I've learned that screaming in my car really didn't make me feel better. I feel just as frustrated when I don't scream, and I look a lot less crazy to whomever is in the car next to me.
- I've learned that you have to shoot negative thoughts like asteroids in an 80's video game. They keep coming, you keep shooting, it seems futile, because you know at the end all you get are purple letters saying "You Won!!!" and you get to enter your high score and...where was I going with this?
- I'm rarely ever really mad. More often than not, I'm disappointed, hurt, or offended. I just feel dumb acknowledging those feelings. They make me feel weak. So instead I get angry, because with anger I feel powerful.
- Talking with a British accent makes you sound way more intimidating. That way you can be nice and still scare the s**t out of people at the same time.
- Tearing down is easy, building up is hard. Only one actually makes you feel good about yourself.
- It's okay to yell "F***************************k!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" at the top of your lungs as long as you're not yelling it AT someone.
- The best way to figure out if you're really upset about something is to give it twenty-four hours. Then, if you actually ARE upset, you'll be able to express yourself much better.
- If you see someone who doesn't like you at a party or something, walk up to them and say "Hi, how are you?" Sometimes it turns out they actually do like you, or they just thought you didn't like them. Either way, it never hurts to be the bigger person.
- Simply choosing not to respond to insanity? Priceless.
Finally, I'd like to report that "Bless Your Heart" really is the best way to let someone know you'd like to see them get hit in the face with a paint can.
I guess I'm 50% nice as of now.
(All right, maybe a little less...but I'm getting there.)
