yeah...
so let us say that you do something that you think is a great accomplishment.
yeah for you!
no.
really. I mean it.
... ... ...
whatever.
... ... ...
in any case, say you accomplish something all by yourself.
yeah, you're proud. [big smile]
no help from anyone, just you, a book, a goal, and the internet...
here's the thing.
you want to tell someone.
but you can't.
why?
because either everyone expects that you should have already known this, or what you did is so trivial to them, because they have been doing it for so long, that they could give a rat's ass about what you just accomplished.
whoop-dee-doo...
so you sit there, all happy with yourself, wanting to shout out to the world.
and you have to keep it inside.
you don't care that the rest of the world doesn't care.
you're happy for that little bit because you accomplished something.
... ... ...
sigh...
... ... ...
I have to be more careful when someone comes up to me all excited about something I could give a shit about...
and a belittle the accomplishment.
... ... ...
sorry dude.
I can imagine what that feels like now.
... ... ...
and to you cynical [say "apples" while holding your tounge]...
just because I'm happy and you're not doesn't mean that you should make me join you in your misery.
they say misery loves company? well, so does happy.
[another word for another word for rooster]head.
... ... ...
[btw, this is purely what I have imagined based on the current atmosphere - I have not shared anything with anyone... I am just imagining the worst... whilst I sit here with a stupid grin on my face]
