Observation

Have you ever noticed how if you’re successful and happy everyone wants to be your friend but secretly (in some cases outwardly) hates you? On the other hand if you’re a miserable loser everyone feels sorry for you and seems to like you but doesn’t want to be around you. This is always true without exceptions. Personally I prefer option number two any day. Life seems easier that way. There are no commitments, no responsibilities, no one to answer to and nowhere to go but up. But why bother going anywhere? You are exactly where you are meant to be so find yourself a warm place to plant your hopeless bottom and enjoy the show. Keep a watchful eye on everything that goes on around you, be the observer and not the participant, cower behind the front row of the ground troops while they battle it out. After all you’re the weakest link and you’ve got nothing to prove. Doesn’t that take the pressure right off? Critics will argue saying that’s no way to live. Don’t pay them any attention. Do what’s right for you. The higher you strive the further you can potentially fall but the lower you aim the firmer your feet are planted on the ground. No messy gravitational interventions and no disappointments. I find more and more proof of this daily. The homeless men lie on the benches or ride the trains with smiles on their faces while the hard-working class of people show signs of stress in the form of veins bulging, pulses escalating, and fuses blowing at the Starbucks workers for putting one less spoon of sugar into their drink than necessary.
Warning: This lifestyle not intended for everyone. If you are an overachiever please consult your parents at the first signs of depression, anxiety, heart attack and or stroke due to too much free time on your hands and not enough trophies/medals.
