Left Behind
don't you sometimes wish you never had to do some of the things you do to get ahead of this demanding world of ours? i wish i never had to go through so much studying and late nights to get a degree. there are better things to think about and worry yourself sick over than a whole bunch of exams and papers that don't really tell anyone much about the kind of person you are. for pete's sake, anyone who really believes that a piece of paper will increase their self-worth needs to talk to mr. kiyosaki!
well all have dreams about making it big in this world, to have to option of early retirement if they really wanted to or to be famous and glamorous (though they don't always go hand in hand). i admire people who have gotten themselves there before they get to old to enjoy the spoils of their sweat and hard work. i admire people who have that sense of motivation (internal or otherwise) to create an empire that helps themselves as well as the millions around them. i hate bill gates.
while all of the rich and famous are drinking champagne and tanning on their yatchs somewhere out in the mediterranean, i'm left here typing away my misery in my bleak little room in suburban perth. i took beginners' ballroom, wear high heels, drink wine (red white and burgundy), dress up in imitation tiffany's to remind myself what i ultimately see myself in my twenties.... i woman who owns the world. men wonder why we watch such movies as "the princess diaries" or "clueless" or "pretty woman" and others... they don't understand that every woman ultimately dreams of a fairy tale life (not ending, in the present time please) which includes the 100 acre walk-in wardrobe, the gorgeous self-afforded birthday presents from any store on 5th avenue, the adorable little red number in her 2-car garage at her beautiful venice mansion. maybe it's not every woman's dream, but i will bet you my life savings (if i had one to spare) that no woman would complain about it!
the hardest thing to accept is that i'm turning 23 soon, and i don't feel like i've accomplished much. sure, i've gone through some things in my life, but i still feel like i could've done more... much more.
