it all works out

here i am, sitting in my apartment on a saturday night at 1:29am listening to the unplayed songs on my itunes. life has an interesting way of working itself out. i believe that in the end, things will be okay. i am not an idealist, i see the problems and the world and acknowledge them instead of pushing them to the side, but as i've seen it thus far, things work out. they might not be as expected, but they work out.

personally, my life has been pretty good. i have had some hard things, but nothing compared to the stories of others. my problems mostly stem from things that could have been avoided-- an ex-boyfriend who i am still in love with because i won't let him go, a test i failed because i didn't study enough, a job i didn't get because i didn't take the time to write a good cover letter, friends who aren't any more because i don't put the effort in the relationship. family members have passed away, but that's part of the circle of life, and if i'm here, they did their job. i am sad they are gone, and i'll always wish i had more time to talk, to laugh, to grow, but i don't, and really, i need to be thankful for the time i had. it sucks when someone dies, but life must go on- eventually anyhow.

lately, i've been doing well. school is shaping up, and i am finally getting a hold of the things that matter in life, the relationships, the attributes. yes, i'd really love an iphone, but if i don't get one, it's not a huge deal. i have a cell phone that works, that functions, and more importantly, i live in a society where i can use it. i can pay the bills and get the reception i need (which is good considering they took out all of the pay phones), but the point is, that i am usually so caught up in my day to day life, i don't stop to think about how good i really have it, how my problems are miniscule compared to other peoples.

it works out, eventually. pray. eat. sleep. pray.
