Looking back at things, I don’t think she ever had any self esteem. Who could feel good about themselves in sweat pants 5 days a week anyway.
It’s not that I cared what she looked like. But for Christ sake play the part a little. At least be something. It didn’t matter if she was broke or destitute, or completely lost and depressed. Just be something. Be a young bohemian, go out and sit at cafes all day because you have no job, drink coffee, smoke cigarettes, write about how awful the world is, create things for rich people to buy and then get drunk in front of them and make jokes at their expense while they’re shelling out that hard earned money for you to blow at the bar. Just be something, whatever you are, baggage and all.
Laugh at things that make you sick, take it as it comes and realize that the universe doesn’t care, we’re all on the same playing field with no score and no 2 minute warning. So take all the shit that you think makes you a wreck and put it into something else. Everyone has baggage. It’s the people that do something with it that matter to me. Blaming things on the past is just a poor way to justify what you do in the present.
Yesterday is over, so decide what you want, take a stand, speak your piece, or sit down and shut the fuck up.
