The Real World

The Real World... Last time I checked it is where I live. Eventually, we all have to live here it's just that some people like to pussy-foot around and bs as though if they do all of this back peddling, rebelling, and refusing to grow up it makes a difference. Well I'm here to tell you that it doesn't!!! Unless you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth or in a developing country where oddly enough at both ends of the spectrum your real world is completely different than most of us regular people.

When it comes down to it we all eventually have to make difficult decisions. We have to make mistakes good choices and bad ones. We have to pay bills and find some sort of direction to walk in, even if that changes every 3 months. We have to find away to find a place in this real world or we'll die wrapped up in a fantasy.

I don't say all of this to say that we shouldn't dream, on the contrary, dreaming is absolutely useless if you never make any choices to try to work towards those dreams. Mostly everyone has a story about how they envisioned a specific venture, idea, job opportunity, relationship, etc. and usually where they are when they are telling you that story is varied in differences from that original dream. We can't plan everything because (if you are a spiritual/religious person) we know that God's plan doesn't always have anything to do with our plan. God, however, knows exactly what gifts he has given us and how we can use those gifts to fulfill a purpose but if we spend so much time waiting on this grandiose sign or shuffling our feet we won't accomplish anything. At the end of the day it's on you to get up and make moves. God isn't going to force you to do jack. We all have free will and if you aren't trying then you are just wasting space. When you look at your five year plan if it's year 15 and it's still the same, shoot if it's year 3 and it's still the same you need to re-evaluate your real priorities in life.

I can't stand to see someone with so many blessings, opportunities, and second chances wasting it all because they have their head too far up their own ass to recognize how blessed they are. I absolutely can not stand it when someone is dealing with situations and problems as a 30 year old the same way that they were dealing with problems as a 13 year old. If that sounds like you ***WAKE UP CALL*** Shits not working for you buddy!!!

Life is too short to sit around in the same holding patterns being angry, resentful, a hater, depressed, etc. especially when the world is handed to you or with in your reach with a little work. I wish that I could just take someone who is so involved in their own emotions to a 3rd world country or even to poor areas of this country and let them see what it is like to not have food, shelter, clothing, parents, anyone to love or care for them, no knowledge of God, no hope, no opportunities, but literally just existing! Maybe then they could get their ass off their back long enough to grow up!

That is all!
