FAIRNESS
"As they say in "The Princess Bride" "Life isn't fair, it's just fairer than death"
Many people can't seem to understand that - or at least they misinterpret - the idea of "fairness." "Fair" doesn't mean that EVERYONE makes the team or that everyone is good at one certain thing. "Fair" only means that everyone is given a chance - NOT that they will succeed. Fair implies that, while you will not beat someone at one particular thing, you probably will be better than the other person at something altogether different. Fairness does NOT mean that everyone is equal - Fairness just means that there is an opportunity.
Yep, "Life isn't fair, it's just fairer than death"

It felt so good to stay in this weekend. It has been awhile since I've done this. I think I have not done this ever since the new year began. I love waking up naturally at 6 or 7am to the sunrise. It's an amazing feeling. I hate it when I wake up in the middle of the afternoon.
It also feels good to be in pajamas again for long periods of time. It feels good to lounge. =) I love it!

Lost control of the steering wheel
So I've seem to have lost control of the steering wheel of my life again. Things at school are not becoming better. I still can't connect with the kids and the kids still don't like me. I still am horrible at planning, and not as efficient. There's 2.5 months left of school, and I don't know if I am going to survive even though time flies by.
All my life, I think I've failed because success to me is being able to turn whatever you have into a positive thing, and throughout life, I have been having trouble with this. All through life, I am attracted to difficulty.
People say extroverted people are happy people. It's not because they are outgoing, it's because they are in general positive people. They see the silver lining in everything. I wish I was an extrovert instead of an introvert. Introverts I guess are negative people. That's me. I see the worst in things and being hopeful is difficult. I often wallow a lot and then pick myself up again.
