Luckier than a bowl of Lucky Charms
-
You know what I'm just going to say it, I'm damn lucky.
No really, I am. I'm so damn lucky I make the short little guy on the Lucky Charms box who has an obsessive compulsive attraction to rainbows and cereal, which could possibly make him a stereotypical gay leprechaun, look like a short midget pedophile.
I'm lucky in the way my life is leading right now, I'm lucky with the amount of friends I surround myself with, I'm just so damn freakin' lucky! They should put a picture of me on that Lucky Charms box. But then I would just look like Powder had just traded in his magnetic powers for rainbows and sugar, and all that sugar does not bode well for anyone.
Sure there are problems. Who wouldn't have them? But, my problems go away when I think about the positive things that make me smile. Whether it be when my friends call me up just to hang out, or when my sister is scared of going into High School that I am there to comfort her. Even when I just sit at home watching DVD's either by myself or with my family, I can't help but smile all the more.
But, there is one sad note to this little heart-wearing-on-sleeve rant, it's that some people may not be that lucky. I'm here to tell you that you are. When things are looking so bad that you may not even know how you are going to eat tomorrow, please try to find something positive in you. There is one. There is always one, and sometimes one positive thing is all you need. It can drive away any negative emotion. It can drive away the worry, the self-doubt, the pity party.
You want to know what that positive lucky thing is?
It's that you are lucky just to be you.
Now go on, get out of here, go eat some Lucky Charms. You deserve it.
And bring me back a box will ya? I'm starvin' over here!
Toodles!
