Life has a way of slapping you in the face when you least expect it. What I think is more interesting is that while you spend you time cooped up in a stupid situation, life, brings you back. Life slaps you and says wake up, there is more to life then what you are spending your time thinking about or doing. I get it. But what do you do when you are faced with a situation you have no control over. When you find out someone important to you has been lying to you and to others. I want to be there but for the first time I don’t feel like I know how to be. While that may sound conceited, I generally feel like I know how to be there for my friends, except now. Not today. I’m scared I won’t be able to help. I’m scared someone’s life is in jeopardy of seriously going in the wrong direction. There is only so much one person can do. There’s only so much you can say. And then it comes to, will they even listen? It will be ok. It has to be. That’s life right?
It seems ok now in retrospect. But who gets to define what's ok? WHO gets to define how we live our lives? That's the crap that has been pissing me off lately. WHO gets to define the decisions we make, the way we feel? I'll tell you what. There is more to life then pissing off the people you care about. There is more to life then spending your time thinking about people that could care less about you. There is a lot more to life then convincing everyone you are right. I suppose that's why God gave us the ability to think for ourselves, we just forget that others have that trait too.
I can't decide what I think about my Ethics and Law professor. I honestly loved the first class. I left with a sense of "HELL YA, this is why I'm getting my MBA." Last week I had mixed feelings. He made some amazing points about ethics but then he went on to be condescending and arrogant. That is not an excuse just because you are a lawyer. Now this week. At one point in the class I almost got up and left. But then the class came together at the end in such a relative way. I think I got back to the "HELL YA" attitude. Classes like today remind me that LAW is black and white, not the God given right that people think they have a freaking opinion about everything. There's a difference.
Happy November. There is something about sunsets and the cold and the night. Life slows down a bit when it gets darker earlier. Life slows down a bit when you get that chill through your body. And life slows down a bit when you look up everyday at those amazing mountains and at the sunset. What a nice way to end the day.
