realistic

"i realized that i've been waiting for a really happy time in my life but i figured out the other day that there won't be something like that and i can't keep waiting..so, i have to pick up on all the little things and mentally just get over the crap. then it's okay"

i haven't heard anything this smart, this realistic, this right in awhile.
elissa is one of the few people that understands how to make me smile, how to get me out of the ditches and through the muck. so when she talked to me tonight and came to this realization, i came to my own realization that the next time someone asks me what my philosophy is- i'm going to tell them just that. its not cynical, its not pessimistic.
its just the way that things are.
