making new dreams
screw it all. reality is so far from what is was when I was a child, back when the "american dream" still existed. i've screwed my life up and the government has changed this country in a way that will not allow me to redeem myself. at least not for years. at this point in life, my parents were married with 3 kids and owned their own home.
it was the perfect place, i loved that house. part of me wonders if most of those fond memories are just the psychological manifestations of childhood. childhood wasn't the best but it certainly wasn't bad. prosperity was rampant and now it is unattainable to anyone making less than $40k/yr.
where have i picked up this perception that if i cannot achieve the "american dream" that i am a complete failure? it almost makes me wonder when my adult life is really going to start. a part of me still feels like a child. i love to wear hooded sweatshirts, with the hood up. yeah, i'm 32 and i don't give a fuck if you think that has some ulterior meaning...but then again, i do give a fuck or i wouldn't be venting about it right now. anyways, how i dress and a post all in it's own, so later then.
and speaking of how things are supposed to be - why do i notice such a large part of the male population that thinks they took care of us women for so long, now that we have rights, we also have to wear the pants and run a household on top of holding down the breadwinning salary job? I'm sick of begin the responsible one. i wanna be the lazy one for a while, you go work your ass off.
so, i'm trying so very hard to let go of the conditioned dreams of success. i'm making my own goddamm dreams. shit i might as well, that is so me. i'm not like all the other girls. i'm fucking tough, and when shit needs to get done, it get the shit done.
from now on, i believe my dreams are reasonable and attainable, and i'm not going to get distracted by bullshit. so, lots of people my age have made it...and lots of people are exactly where i am right now, sitting on the couch, blogging about how unfair life is. suck it up, brush the dirt off and shine on you crazy diamond!
