SURELY the road to hell is paved with good intentions. I am swearing off doing good. It really doesn’t get you anywhere. I promise, every day I wake up I try to do good in the world. If not good, at least I don’t ever start the day with the intent of drawing someone else down. I wish the other humans had my philosophy on life.
SURELY the daily workout will get easier. I have been off my routine for far too long. I keep being met with people telling me I look like I am losing weight, when I am gaining at an alarming rate. I just need to get back to me. When I loved the walking I did, just to flesh out the ideas in my brain.
SURELY, being the better “man” is worth something. My life has been met with many opportunities for me to prove I have the bigger hips am the bigger man. The one that proves redemption is possible for all people.
SURELY the people will like me. I want to be Sally Fields. I want to be the girl that inspires you to do something good with your day. Embrace someone who you never would; whether that person is gay, straight, Jewish or Autistic. I want you to look past what you know, look to the unknown. It may be scary but it is always worth the story.
SURELY I was meant to be a writer. I never wanted to be anything else my whole life. I want to be the girl you look to for a good story. Well, that and be a rock star, but really? How many Rick Astley’s can the world hold?
SURELY I was meant to be a mother. I was really bad at the physical aspect of carrying a child. (The physical act of BREEDING I am really good at–turns out.) I probably was not meant to be a mother, but what can I do about that now? Except move forward.
SURELY I am a bit of a rebel. I do wear dresses when I forget to shave my legs and I run with scissors. Mostly I like to perceive myself as gangsta. I follow the rules all of the time. It is the thing that pisses me off the MOST about me.
SURELY I am worth redemption. Aren’t we all?
Surely you are worth redemption.. you write fabulous a fabulous blog– funny and smart, a hard combo! But you are evil for getting that damn Rick As(s) tley song in my head. Following rules– sucks, don’t it? but we cannot stop ourselves.
I really liked this post
When I was young I wanted to marry Rick Astley, so I suppose I am a little evil, with a slice of wry…
You are my favorite commenter, though should I be leary of your self imposed bullshit title?
no truthfully, I am an honest straight up person and I do love your blog and writing. and now I love your comments. You made me smile and laugh today! So thank you
All those SURELYs are the result of the corporate world filling your head with American Dream lies. Perhaps every individual is their own univers-wide jigsaw puzzle, and once some of the pieces are properly placed, the picture becomes more evident.
Jake, I think that is true. Every day I know myself more, I feel more comfortable in that puzzle.
Though, I have to tell you, the puzzle changes daily.
And I have to go back to Denver this week for corporate (Brainwashing) training, which lends to your idea. It always seems when there is a challenge to my growth, people start pointing it out to me.
I thought that surely a road to hell is paved with good intentions was a french expression! People always react oddly when I say it. But then again, people react oddly to most of what I say. Surely I never know when to say what. Surely I’m glad people don’t realize how dumb I can be most of the time. Or maybe then again they do know only they’re too polite to point it out…
Dumb? You are brilliant! A woman to be admired.
