Lately I have been enjoying the company of the HBO Original television series Californication. My favorite character is Hank's punky goth daughter with a lot to say! The title of this entry is just one of those phrases that just made my jaw drop to the floor.
In the context of the show, she is commenting on her life involving her parents. In the series there is a lot of back and forth in her parents' relationship. This seems to be true to real life as well. I like to wake up every morning, not dreading the day to come, but thinking about how I can change what will come my way. While I am not exactly satisfied with my career right now, I simply remind myself that my employment as a barista at Starbucks Coffee is only temporary. This not only gives me a "light at the end of the tunnel" but it also helps me appreciate the different confrontations I might have throughout the day. I appreciate the interractions I have with our regular customers. I also take this opportunity to interract with the children that come through our store. If there is one thing you might know about me is that I don't inerract with children very well. I consider myself to be more of an NC-17 individual with the humor to match, but the more I talk and communicate with these children I find myself making them smile instead of making the cower behind their parent. It also helps me to deal with people I don't like better. I know that just because they walked into my store, doesn't mean I have to be friends with them. I simply have to take their order and their money, thank them, and send them on their way.
The truth is, I feel like this state of mind will help me through my journey through life. When I quit smoking, I might become irritable and brash, but I know my shrewd state of mind won't last forever as I become an ex-smoker. It helps me deal with the fact of my overall health because if I set my mind to it, I won't be overweight forever, I just have to accept myself for who I am, until I am truely able to be happy with myself.
