my cliche post for the week.

i've been realizing lately that this way of life {in the US} can get pretty difficult sometimes.

with all of the focus on success, accomplishments, nice material items {cars, houses, apts}, finding the perfect husbands/wives, having a perfect family, having the perfect job, having the best social life where you keep in contact with everyone and are such a good friend {yes all of this has been said by a million people before}, but i'm really starting to get weighed down by those pressures. they just sneak up on me, overwhelm & consume me, and then i realize, sometimes all of sudden, wait-- why am i stressed out or frustrated right now? why am i crying and unable to sleep?

because i get to go to school? and learn so many different view points and not only learn, but get awarded for my learning?

because i get to clean my lovely, stable, sheltering apartment?

because i have the opportunity to complain about my new boss?

because i have so many people in my life that i love so much and feel stressed out if i don't see them enough?

what. is. wrong. with. that. picture.

you know?

anyway, those are just some things i realized this morning in the shower.

k, you think you could make this in a print? :)
