FUCK! HOW DID THINGS BECOME SO BAD!? HOW DID I GET HERE?!


Through your own goddamn choices, that's how. You can choose to piss and moan about it. You can choose to be a passive-aggressive drama-whore. You can even choose to take your problems out on other people, but at the end of the day none of that is going to help you. All of your choices have consequences and the consequences don't fucking care if you don't want to deal with them or if you're incapable of coping in a reasonable way.

You're a fucking adult, deal with your problems. It's nobody else's fault. YOU made the decisions that brought you to where you are. Maybe you made some bad choices. It's OK, everyone does. Welcome to reality.

Shitty things WILL happen to you. People you count on will disappoint you. People will abuse you; maybe even try to kill you. This happens to all of us. When we deal with these events in a shitty way, refuse to learn from our personal tragedies, and treat people who aren't responsible for our problems like shit, it's not going to make anything better. In fact, it's only going to create new problems.

All the little choices a person makes in a day come together to form their environment. These choices can be so seemingly insignificant that we make them without even thinking. To the person making them, they might not even realize they're making them, but the consequences know all the choices we make, no matter how insignificant they might seem.

So, you can keep on doing what you've been doing. You can keep repeating the actions that brought you to the place you're at or you can own up to it and take a hard look at who you are and the choices you've made. You can start making connections to your actions and their results. Things that might have seemed insignificant to you at the time may have had profound consequences that you didn't see before. You might even learn how to stop repeating the behaviors that got you here.

Can you control the world? Of course not. The world can, and probably will, shit on you.

If you're smart you might be able to take steps to mitigate the damage when the world does shit on you, but the only thing you can control is how you react to the world. The consequences don't give a fuck about you, but that doesn't mean they can't help you. You can learn from the consequences and you might be able to transcend your horrible little monkey. You could even become self-aware one day like one of those new drones the military uses or a furby.

Damn good post. Thank you for the reminder.

It's an easy thing to forget when shit is hitting the fan.

TTM, I told Roger that I was letting it drop. Letting it drop doesn't include keeping it up in PM. Interestingly, you don't ACTUALLY have to say everything you think.

[Shibboleet The Annihilator]

Great then let it drop. Stop sending me PMs. Stop bothering me. Stop stirring shit.

I'll say what I think if I want to. Nobody is going to stop me from doing that, especially not you.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

You started the PMs. I asked you to stop. All it takes.

[AFK]

Imma gonna PM puns to both of you.  The ones that I thought were too awful to post here.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNEDED!!!!

If I stop, will you PM them anyways?

[AFK]

Nah, I ain't got nothing.  I could send you some of my son's diapers.  He craps like a champ!

Oh, dear.  I hope that doesn't fall into the wrong hands.

The wrong hands.
