"She's a classic narcissist. I mean nobody is more fun at a party, but they're incurable.
And you should never, ever get in a relationship with one."
- Brothers and Sisters
I've been totally uninspired on the blogging front as of late... life is in a slump. Buuut these TV quotes are making me laugh because they remind me of me. Maybe this one is a little on the extreme.... but mayyyybe not.
One of my favorites (also from Brothers and Sisters) is a couple years old and has been on my facebook profile for a looong time... I don't even remember which character said it to whom, but it was
"You can't put your happiness on hold."
I have spent a whooooole lot of my life thus far putting my happiness on hold. Thinking things will get better after high school, or college, or law school, or when I meet someone, or when I get a job, or whatever the hell else it is that's making me miserable at the time and blah blah blah.... it's time to STOP. And be happy NOW. I have completely failed at this lately. And been far from happy.
So now it's time to be happy for today. There are PLENTY of things for me to wallow about right now... and so tonight? I wallow. I drink wine in sweatpants and go to bed at 9 PM.
But tomorrow? I wake up and I take my happiness off hold. There is also a lot to be happy about.
It takes time to realize that there is no dress rehearsal in life. Just embrace the happiness and hold it as long as it lasts. What's wrong with vino and sweatpants?
ReplyDeleteThere is alot for us to be happy about, but we all go through slumps where we just aren't happy. No real reason, we just think the future holds something so much better than the present. Also, I find the website http://www.textsfromlastnight.com/ gives me plenty to laugh about. Laughter always seems to make me happy :)
ReplyDeleteHappy hump day!

I agree, wine and sweat pants are always the cure! I think you summarized pretty well how I have been feeling lately too, no more happiness on hold!
ReplyDeleteFirst, I love Brothers & Sisters! I have found some pretty good/funny quotes from the show. Second, I have done the same thing in the past....put my happiness on hold...but I have recently stopped doing that and surprisingly am so happy right now!!
