Lazy bones

I despise lazy people.

And by lazy, I am referring to those who don't get off their dead asses to do a damn thing. Lazy people, need not apply to be one in my circle. I literally cannot deal with it. I can complain with the best of them. Been referred to as a "drama mama" before, and although I don't think I'm quite that bad--I can't exactly deny it. I prefer to describe myself as ANIMATED when I tell my stories, after all I've learned from the best how to tell a great story.

It's been brought to my attention that obviously not everyone supports you. Even if you complain non stop, I'll still have open ears. Lets be real people, sometimes you just need to vent. Family members and good friends, should be there for you NO MATTER WHAT. A good friend listens, gives advice, calls you out and above all supports you no matter what. Even if I didn't agree with you, I'd still support your decisions. There are things that yes of course, we cannot change-but that doesn't make your stress and pain any less important in your life. If the issue is not important to your friends and family, your pain from it should be enough cause for them to give their support.

I've been incredibly lucky to have such great family and friends that support what I do. I get into a lot of kicking and screaming matches with my sister about this issue. To her, my issues may not seem that big. Things can seem fixable in her eyes, and changeable. However, to me...they're giant. Although I do come across abrasive with my advice to others and I am a straight shooter, I very rarely ever have no ears to lend out to someone in need. Just something to keep in mind. Obviously Hien and I have our moments, what kind of siblings would we be if we didn't? It just always seems like a struggle to have a relationship with her sometimes. No need to go into details, just saying how I feel. She's not a horrible person or a horrible sister at all. Relationships no matter what kind, are always work to maintain.

My biggest lesson by far this year, is coping with other people. Playing nice in the sandbox, has turned into a complete and utter battlefield. I've had to deal with things, I honestly never gave any thought to. No one ever teaches you how to be diplomatic in the work place, or teaches you how to express your feelings or concerns properly. Something, I hope I can prepare my children for some day. I'm refusing to be lazy, and take it upon myself to work through these issues. I'd like to someday get a job and start things off right, based on my prior mistakes and experience. It'll be my day soon enough.

People amaze me. They honestly do. If you've given up, and refuse to do any work in your life, you deserve a big "L" tattooed on your forehead. I can do it for you if you'd like! I just don't understand. No one else is going to help you, if you don't help yourself first. So get off of your butt and get to work! Easier said then done. It makes me crazy when people are high and mighty about their own entitlement issues. Just because you've "paid your dues", shouldn't mean you leave all the work for the rookie. Be a good example, work together in a unit. 

I don't know much, but I know this. No one can ever say, that Thao is lazy.
