Murphy’s law

I’m not a planner. I can’t think 5 minutes from now much less days, weeks or months from now. And you know why? Because the times I actually do make plans some sort of fuckery always happens and fucks it all up. I’m never surprised when it happens. I’ve come to accept it.

Okay

You know that feeling of hopelessness, don’t you? That feeling that nothing in the whole entire world is right and you cannot possibly fathom how it can be any other way.

Then one day you wake up and think “Shit ain’t so bad”. Sure it can always be better. You can have more money, lose 5 pounds spend a year traveling the world, but in that one moment you feel alright.

So yeah, today I feel okay.
