The Future is Bright

I'm excited about things to come. I'm also impatient. Like many addicts, I want what I want right NOW! Its not about me anymore, though.

In general, I feel good about life. I really don't have it that bad considering the self-destructive, self-indulgent, self-centeredness... SELF SELF SELF.

I have a low paying part-time job, a somewhat supportive family, a very caring and compassionate friend, an amazing dog, a car and a roof over my head. Asking for more would be pretty fucking greedy.

I start school next week and if my estimation of time is correct, I will have the qualifications to start an entry-level position in a rehab in a year and a half. It won't pay much but it will provide enough to live, not in luxury, but a simple, peaceful life.

I'm really not concerned about money in the future. Shit, I'm an addict. Addicts always find the means to get the things they desire. Besides, I'm pretty handy with technical aspects and that ALWAYS pays well.

Hmmmmm, why did I write a paragraph about money? Perhaps I am concerned about income? Not really for me but I want to be able to help those I care about pursue their dreams. I know for certain that 'M' deserves to have her dreams realized and, if the future has us together, I'll do whatever it takes to help that.

I don't obsess much anymore, which is pretty cool. I attribute that to my meds. Typically, I analyze the fuck out of EVERYTHING but not so much anymore.

In general, I feel rather good. Life doesn't have to be painful. Life is just what its supposed to be...
 
I know exactly what you mean. I am lucky to be so close to my family. Without them I wouldn't have shit.

Anyway, good luck and keep it up! :-)
