the ‘real’ world

so yesterday, upon remarking that “we’re busy”, somebody fed me the age-old cliché line “well, welcome to the real world.” and i thought about that and immediately i felt like someone just scratched a blackboard while i was sleeping. it made me think a little about that. why would they say that? why should i think that? why is that the standard comradely “yeah i hate my job too” line? and why do i feel so adverse to that. lets just say it made me realize that what we have is very ‘real’ very tangible and very much something to be VERY thankful. wouldnt that be rotten to have to say that to anybody that complained about their situation. think about that…..you’re basically saying “yup, life blows, i know it, mine does too.” its right then that i realized im one of the reflective hexagons that got to fall off the 20 mph sign downtown to go on my own trip instead of fitting in with the rest of the grid. im vowing to never tell anybody that, unless i accept that my life blows too, which at this point, doesnt! live. cheers -c
