There's no way around it without sounding like a total bitch or conceited or even sounding like I think I'm better than anyone... Let me say right off the bat that that is not and was not my intention... But looking onto my social network(fancy word) I began to think... Do some people lose their common sense as they get older? Or maybe they just didn't have any to begin with? I know that just sounds horrible it does... But maybe I just have my mother and father to thank for raising me to be a realist and not sit and hope for someone else to make my fairytale life to come true.... This came upon as I think about the subject of babies... Babies. Lovely... When they aren't mine of course.. :) But seeing as in we are all in our mid twenties, it seems likes there's some huge rush to procreate just in the hopes of tying some sort of value to your life.. I mean these are the same people that have not had an education let alone a steady job... I mean am i the only lunatic out there who thinks its outrageous to bring a baby into this world without an education? Without a career? Without having goals? Without even a job? Am I the only one that knows accidents don't just happen??? Honestly, if you're having sex without protection... that's not an accident that's a choice and you're gonna bound up pregnant sooner rather than later. And this again goes back to education because I know maybe people decide to have babies before many of their goals have come to reality.. I have friends that have had babies, and still continue their education. They achieve a career and do a wonderful job not only as mothers but also as women working to better themselves armed with their careers and education... Is this when common sense comes in? Or is it that these women just had the fight left in them? Why is it that many just sit there and complain about how horrible their life is and their lack of money and yet they do nothing to better their situation?? It's really quite depressing to see women out there that I knew when I was young, women that were full of dreams and expectations and the fight to make this all happen.. These same women who Just sit there and complain about things not happening to them and not doing anything to make anything happen.. What happened?? Disk we grow up thinking that we were capable of anything? Didn't we grow up thinking that we were too young to ever give up? Didn't we grow up thinking knowing and wanting the best? What happens to all of that? And I know many can sit and argue and say that I wouldn't know, that kids change everything and decisions are made to be the best for them... I understand that. But wouldn't It make sense to fight for them, to achieve your dreams to want bigger things to rise up for in the End they would end up with a better life? When did we start relying so much on others to make our dreams happen? How can they be in charge of improving something that only we would know how to fulfill?? When did we stop dreaming?? When did you stop dreaming or in other words stop thinking that you deserve the best and that it is never too late to get it?? I guess it comes down to ambition...some people have it, some don't.. Those that have it might lose it and then theres that small group of us left with it who work with it and use it to help us grow.. Like Charles bukowski said, " there should be a place for those without ambition... Just so that they won't clog up the world for the rest of us..
Today I am thankful for my ambition, and for the few in my life that still have the heart of ambition growing in their souls.. May you grow into the person you wish to achieve.
