So i was driving to work this morning listening to Christams music and pondering the universe and the meaning of life and my place in it (as usual)....and I started to think about how people change during the "holidays." each year. Why is it that during this 2 week period, people are nicer to eachg other, yet for the other 50 weeks out of the year we are a bunch of cut-throat bastards, just tryin to make a buck. I honestly just don't get it......wahtever. However, I am excited to go home tomorrow evening an see the family....it's been over a month since I've seen everyone and I think it'll be a good thing for me since there's really no one to chill with over break.....and staying in a room barely larger than my office is not so entertaining.
I was thinking about this last night as well.....I don't think I'm really going to be happy until I have my own family.....I mean i've got my relatives and I love all of them....but none of us are really that close. However, when you have your own family, it changes your life....from one where you and your career is important, to one of providing for them. Now, I'm not saying I want to get married and have kids anytime soon (especially not while I'm still in school), but I honestly cannot wait until I get to have a kid and teach him/her/them about life and to rededicate my life to something greater....to them.
peace and love

agreeed. i love my family, but sometimes i really want my own (although clearly i am too young now).
ReplyDeletei think people cover up their problems with a false sense of cheer over the holidays. i don't know, i think people follow the obligations of the season because it is the social norm.
it tends to bother me that people don't try to be upbeat and cheerful throughout the year.
