Oh man. Here it comes, the cold shoulder. What did I do? NOTHING.
I’m not sure why this is even on my list! I’m not going to every reach this goal. If rude remarks are directed towards me, even if it’s just a side effect of someone’s “bad” day, I’M GOING TO TAKE IT PERSONALLY. Who are we kidding?! When we’re treated unfairly (& blind-sided about it), we have two choices: make the situation blow up in our faces or brush it off. Put that cold shoulder out. I’ll be ready with my broom to brush it off.

I should probably change this goal to brush it off.

I am capable of trusting. I swear I am. But when it comes down to it, I will never allow myself to put my all into something that could be broken.
Why?
I haven’t been wronged. I’m probably causing the unbalance. I just need to be assured that the past won’t be revived, that the emotions I saw in a look – that wasn’t for me – was my paranoia, that what I hear isn’t true, but what you say is real.
I’m out of mind. But aren’t we all? We’re just a mess of vulnerabilities impacted in what we call “human form” trying to survive each day.
I should be studying for my SATs.

Okay. Let me break this down for you (or just tell you, if you prefer a choice of words without “break” in them).
I come home everyday & my dog, Bosley, wakes up, comes to the gate and anxiously waits for me to open it. Once released, he barges through the door and onto his warm, fluffy bed. I start my homework & he sleeps (snores, too). I’ll look up the clock after an hour or so and guess where Bosley is?! Still in his bed, sleeping oh so contently.
Yea, he may not be fed sushi- which I can’t live without- but can you imagine being so worry-free! Sleeping all day & taking in wonderful belly rubs!
I’d definitely switch lives with my doggy for day.

But then again, how well does a dog use the laws of cosines? I can’t afford any bad homework scores in Precalculus.
