who- a very chilly young lady happy to have music as my soulmate… and air in my lungs.
what- depression- is it all in your head?
when- 2:33pm
where- busboys & poets, dc
i spoke to an associate today and she told me that she is deeply depressed. she happens to have a pretty successful life professionally and is in a VERY VERY good position at work. i mean really DOPE. so with that in mind i listen as she tells me about her woes… ‘this happens every year in september- this year, however, it’s early’. she went on to explain that ‘everyone knows about it and knows to leave me alone that whole month’
… wow. yeah?
i couldn’t help but think that this was an unconsciously-created crutch of some sort that she has developed thru the years to compensate for something that her ego is lacking. and now it’s to the point where she has even gained some supporters for her apparent cause.
i mean i was sympathetic cuz the chile sounded and looked beat DOWN. but at the same time, i wanted to snatch her up and be like “HELLO!!!! can you look around you???? biiitch, do you know how good u have it??? don’t you see people out here struggling to pay their mortgages and such- while you can up and take sudden vacations to Paris for 2 WEEKS because you ‘feel overwhelmed’! ” who gets to do that??????
i had to refrain for real cuz i was seriously about to get mad. is she serious right now?
the REAL tea is, she has emotionally blocked herself from love and is now feeling the effects of it.
WELLLLLL… nobody told you to sleep around and push away wonderful people that actually CARED about you so that you can be ‘free’ to ‘party’ . shit.
you can’t have love without pain people! nothing in life is free of cost.
so please don’t be so scared of getting your heart broken that you wind up in this dark place of confused loneliness. ALONE. cuz no REAL muthafukka is gonna wanna chill in there with your miserable ass.
love is love but sometimes people need a kick in the ass.
sheesh!
