"It`s being here now that`s important. There`s no past and there`s no future. Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now. We can gain experience from the past, but we can`t relive it; and we can hope for the future, but we don`t know if there is one."

George Harrison
On a day to day basis I find myself increasingly depressed, yet driven an uncanny optimism. In a cliche "glass half full/half empty" way. Honestly, as I sit here typing, I don't see myself getting through my twenties. That might sound a little heavy, but I feel precisely that bleak about my future. There's too much weight, I'm getting crushed by the pressure. I could blame it on any number of things, but I won't. It doesn't relieve the pressure.

This optimism though, It's honestly why I'm alive in the first place. I may scrape by, and be completely unhappy, but I can afford to eat and I have a bed. I can afford to waste my money on unnecessary items I use to numb the day to day. I have a job, albeit one I will probably lose.

This isn't a pity party, this is me unloading via my keyboard, so It won't consume my mind. I'm searching for a solution, but you can't accomplish much when you one person, completely alone in a city like Boston.

Ugh @ you facebook!

My biggest peeve @ facebook is people adding me who don't talk to me. I mean do you want to have my frequent status updates plastered all over your facebook wall? People I don't even consider friends anymore (they are typically married, cause once you get married it's not OK to talk to me for some reason?!?) that I've taken off my facebook have been sparsely adding me, which I sometimes entertain, letting them back into my world.

But that's my question. Why are we friends on facebook if we aren't friends in real life?


ps. i love this song
