I dunno what to write in these to get people to actually read em… So I decided I don’t really care if anyone reads em anyway, I’ll write them for anyone who wants something fulfilling/funny/interesting/stupid (depends on the day) to read. Also, because I feel like it. D<
So before I get into the really “deep” stuff, that’s my car. Soon to be a cube, probably.. I’m not sure what they’ll do with her.
I really love my car, but since it’s horrible on gas, and everything in it is slowly failing (not to mention it’s a death trap lol) I had to buy a new one. I get it tomorrow. But for now, a memorial to my car–
The cooling system leaks, and I have to top up the antifreeze every few weeks. The driver’s side windshield wiper is currently being held on with electrician’s tape. Before it was taped back on, the metal arm left an arc-shaped scratch right across the windshield. The struts are SHOT. I’d spend at least $40 (canadian, remember) on gas every week. There’s quite a few rust spots visible in the pictures.. And even more that aren’t visible. The paint is also flaking off in a few places, even where it’s not rusting. The driver’s seat has a 2-inch chunk torn out of it. The back window defrost only has three lines that work, not even all in the same spot. It likes to rev high, chug along, and even stall, whenever it feels like it. The muffler’s been welded on/back together, twice. It takes forever to warm up in the winter. It’s loud, eats up fuel, leaks, and does all sorts of things it probably shouldn’t…
But I still love my car! xD It’s super comfy. It’s got character, that’s for sure. =P So, bye bye to my beater, even when you’re a cube, I’ll still remember you. <3
And now to play “serious Kat”..
Everyone lives their lives just doing whatever they do day to day. Everyone just goes on assuming they’re gonna have a long life, live to be maybe 70 or so, joke around about having their friends or family off them if they become a drooling senile old fart that’s pooping in a bag and being fed mush by some unfortunate nurse. Ever stop to think, what if you were told you were only likely to have a few more years left?
What would you do?
I dunno about anyone else. But the first thing i’d do would definitely be anything I can do to extend the time I’m given. That’s probably what most people would do, not including those that lose faith and just give up upon hearing those words. Fuck them though, what do they know? Since there’s always something you can do, right up to the day you’re underground.
This is why I’ve always been one to live for what I want, do things I enjoy, and be happy as often as possible. Why sweat the small stuff, get upset over things that won’t matter in the long term, and waste your time being mad at people or things when they don’t go your way? It’s been said that the key to a longer happier life is to have a positive attitude towards things. I’m one to believe it too, being negative definitely does take years off your life. It’s not just that though — isn’t it just more fun to live without being upset and stressed all the time?
It’s not just your own view of your own life, your perspectives, and how things affect you… There’s other people around you who care about you, since you’re part of their life… I repeatedly see how people tend to forget that there’s people that care about them, and hate to see them hurt or upset. It’s natural that people view their life inwardly – how things affect them, how their actions affect their life, how their attitude changes their outlook… Rarely do they think about how their outlook and general “aura” (for lack of a better word) affects those around them as well.
I will not put myself above anyone else – I was totally an emo teenager. I mean, who didn’t go through a phase like that? Not many people, by my guess. I’m actually glad I did go through it as hard as I did, because now I can look back, relate to people who have those kinds of issues, and I can say.. I lived through it, and now that it’s all passed, I realize how silly it was wasting my years brooding and depressed.
Haha, the point of this was missed, and became a lecture, that’s not what I had intended. The point was supposed to be something more positive. Something like “live your life the way you want, take care of yourself, and be aware that there’s always someone who cares about you and wants to see you do well”.
People don’t treat each other well enough. There’s too much judging, hating, general cruelty, between people. Oh, I know I’m gonna hear a joke or two about how I always say I hate people or whatever, but if you think about it, relate what I say about people to how I actually treat them… Doesn’t really match up, does it? XD
Digressing again. >_>
Long or short life, I dunno if it really should be focused on that way.. Live your life so you’re happy, take care of those that care for you, try as hard as you can to live a long life full of love and happiness. :3
Cuz even though I said, and say, that I hate people… I really never say what I mean, my faith in the general population wavers now and again, when you see the things people do to each other. But any one of my friends or family, anyone close to me, and most of the people I’ve met in my life and gotten to know even a little – I love them and would do anything to help them, even if it means putting myself out.
And I’m sure that everyone has at least one person in their life that cares about them the way I care about my friends and family. So be happy they’re there, and let em know you care too.
ANYWAY I digress.
