So
Let me tell you about the last 6 days of my life .........................
Saturday
Friend 1: Help I have a wedding this afternoon and I have nothing that matches what I want to wear
Me: Drop everything, buy beads, noon deliver 3 necklaces with matching earrings and bracelets.
Crisis averted
Sunday
Boss: Cr@p seeing a client tomorrow and I haven't gotten to XYZ
Me: No problem bring it we'll get it done
6 hours later all done
Monday
Friend 2: He's such an a$$hole, he's been screwing around on me, how can I go on
Me: Got wine, a shoulder and tissues come over,
11pm friend sent home ready to face the world again
Tuesday
Housemate: We've only just gotten together how can this happen I can't live without him, how can he have to be in Cape Town for 6 months
Me: Lets have a drink, phoned guy explained situation
House mate happier because guy phoned and explained that he can't live without her and will be home every second weekend
Wednesday
Future Sister in Law: Wedding crisis the gifts we'd chosen are out of stock and wont be in stock till after the wedding
Me: We could do this, or this or maybe this
New gift chosen and me conned into making 90 of them
Thursday
Friend 1: Having cr@p at work, daughters being a bitch, cant carry on, falling apart
Me: Lets go and get a milkshake and talk
Friend feels better and I get to work till 9.30pm catching up the time I spent putting friend back together
Friday
Me: Help feeling fragile, need some company
Friend 1: I'm having an early night
Friend 2: That means I'd have to drive home in the dark
Boss: Promised ex I'd take her to a movie
Housemate: I have more important things to do
Future Sister in Law: I'm busy as someone else
Funny how I can drop everything for everyone to my own detriment most of the time and I can't even get half an hour out of anyone when I need them
Makes me wonder if all I'm here for is everyone else's convenience and whether will I ever actually get to have 5 mins where its about me

Stay Golden
Our lives are mere flashes of light in an infinitely empty
universe. In twelve years of education the most important lesson I have learned
is that what we see as “normal” living is truly a travesty of our potential. In
a society governed by superficiality, appearances and petty economics, dreams
are more real than anything in the “real world”.
Refuse normalcy. Beauty is everywhere, love is endless, and
joy bleeds from our everyday existence. Embrace it. I love all of you, all my
friends, family and community. I am
ceaselessly grateful from the bottom of my heart for everyone. The only thing I
can ask of you is stay free of materialism.
Remember that every day contains a universe of potential,
exhaust it. Live and love so immensely that when death comes there is nothing
left for him to take. Wealth is love, music, sport, learning, family and
freedom. Above all stay gold
