Hey, Guess What!: Rough Times

Usually I always manage to stay positive and remain optimistic when things get rough. But sometimes just hearing, "everything is going to be okay soon" just isn't enough. I want more; a quick answer or some kind of a sign. Then, more things just keep piling up and burdening me and I start to think, "when are things ever going to get better?"

Sure, some things that have currently been burdening me have been occurring for months but just as I think things are going to start making a turn for the better, BAM! Something that I never expected and wished wouldn't happen, happens. Then what are you supposed to do?

Other things happen unexpectedly. Being the sensitive, worrisome person that I am, I freak out. I get so upset and overwhelmed and just start crying. I know it's not going to solve anything, but sometimes you just feel better after a good cry, right?

So what do I do when things get too rough? I rely on my friends and family.

When I hear upsetting news about a relative, I go and help support them through it.

When my transmission blows out in Montauk, William and his wonderful family start making me laugh and enable me to actually enjoy myself for the rest of the day.

And Daddydukes (who I am convinced is the greatest dad in the world) will pay for a new transmission because he knows that I'm a college student who not only doesn't have money for another car, but also cannot pay that kind of money to fix it and needs my car to commute to school.

Then I see my best friend, Jessica and her boyfriend and she makes me laugh and forget about everything.

And then I try to see Modest Mouse at the Williamsburg Waterfront, but lightning decides to ruin everything. No, Modest Mouse did not play my favorite song, but they did play "The View" which seems pretty optimistic to me. Maybe that's a sign?

I don't have very many pictures from the past few weeks. I just have a few from last night, right as Modest Mouse began to play their very big five songs.
