Gratitude list and things you should not say people who are upsett

                 

I’d been thinking about this blog for a few days and there were more and more things piling up on my plate. As of late, I have been plagued with a sense of melancholy. For many years I never really mourn or cry bad events. I just stopped feeling altogether. There was a stirring at the pit of my stomach but I just shoved it down to further. For the most part I tend to get a more pissed off and focus my energy on other people around me. If someone passes I put my energy, thoughts and prayers into them after all if I couldn’t really feel anything why couldn’t I help others heal?

                I suppose that’s where the trouble begins. Like death or a painful fart sooner or later it will rear its ugly head and causes some painful repercussions. It might be weeks or months and sometimes years later before I catch up to the emotional after math. If for some reason it hits me days later I’ll get these speeches from the people that should be there for me spout out words that really only make things worse. So, in addition to my “top five things to be grateful for” I am adding the things you should NOT say to someone who is upset.

I repeat DO NOT say these things to people who are upset. If you do, you’re a complete fucking douche:

1.        “why are you upset? You never get upset.”

2.       “Shouldn’t you just be over it by now?”

3.       “It’s not that bad, you should hear what I have going on…”

4.       “You need to suck it up.”

5.       “You don’t have a right to be upset.”

6.       “There’s no way you should be lonely! You have a ton of friends!”

7.       “You don’t need ____ he only hurts your feelings and is miles away. Besides you can always get a new one.”

8.       “It could always be worse, you could have _____”

9.       “You’ve done worse”

10.   “You guys weren’t even that close.”

Don’t be a dick be a dude! And most importantly, be aware of the douche bull shit that comes out of your mouth because some of us keep track to make sure that you get the same treatment as you have given others. Now, on with my gratitude list.

Now here are things I am grateful for:

1.       Fresh lemons.

a.       These things can make any situation better! I drink water and green tea with it and my day is set. Not to mention it’s one of the best facial cleaner I have ever used. I rub it on my face and it feels better than if I just spent a day at the spa.

2.       Sharknado 2is coming out soon.

a.       Fuck yeah I’m going to watch it. It’s the worst movie ever made!

3.       My key board.

a.       I really missed writing music and now I get to enjoy something I once enjoyed so much.

4.       Fans.

a.       I now I have so many, I might just hang them on the wall. Exercised and skill all rolled up in to one.

5.       Thursday Dinner night:

a.       I love this because not only do I get to spend a night with some wonderful people they also fall victim to my drink experiments! On tonight’s menu: Watermelon styled margaritas!
