• So yesterday evening I was kinda feeling left out- you know, a little excluded, and so I started blasting some music. After wearing out Dashboard Confessional, I started looking at some new stuff, and I watched the "Welcome to my Life" music video by Simple Plan on itunes. The whole premise of the music video is so trite and cliché, and yet it is so universal I love it. As I was watching it, it just all of a sudden made me realize how silly it is to wallow in these emotions with the idea that no one else knows what it is like, because the reality is everyone says that. The reality is that everyone does know what's like "to be hurt/ To feel lost/ To be left out in the dark/ To be kicked/ When you're down/ To feel like you've been pushed around/ To be on the edge of breaking down" etc. etc. So I kinda laughed at myself and went to bed, and then in the morning I woke up feeling really good about myself. Thus far its been a great day.

  (I think you're more likely to have a good day when you wake up to your alarm, and today I did.)

  Wasn't that a good story? The End.
