“For such as we are made of, such we be. ” – Twelfth Night, Shakespeare

so…

that’s not true is it? i mean, people DO and CAN change, right? it’s just a matter of wanting to change?

in my life, there have been two particular individuals who have had such a huge, yet extremely negative, impact on me. and i often wonder if some of their despicable characteristics rubbed off on me in such a way, that it led me to mirror their very actions.

the thing about these two individuals… they have masterfully and meticulously coerced others into believing that they’ve changed… and yet… “As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly.”

does a dog always return to its vomit?

i frustrate myself sometimes because i’ve experienced such… unique(?)… situations in life that i SHOULD be using to better myself – but i haven’t really done that entirely.

so…

anyway. i’m babbling.

in other news… Charlie (my dog) keeps humping my leg and i don’t know how to get him to stop! it’s so funny, and also slightly awkward.

i’m watching A Christmas Story, yet again, and honestly… though i love xmas movies, they are 10x better to watch when it’s cold and snowing. dang. although, i did (kinda) see snow this past week…

is it me, or were child actors so much better back then?

so guess what? nope. nope. guess again… still wrong. –  i am… in the process of… writing a kids/ish story. what the? i know right. and honestly, the only reason i’m telling you is so i will have the pressure to finish something i’ve decided to start. it’s Seuss-ish in nature, so if you don’t like Dr. Seuss, then your opinion doesn’t count. also, before you judge me… just know that i’ve done my Seuss research… and that’s all i’ll say.

happy monday.
