one can be bitter about alot of things - mundane or seemingly serious ones. i was reading an article in the newspaper today - a doctor was reminding readers to appreciate what we have and live each day the best we can and not to wait till we have a terminal illness to make us wake up and panic. sometimes it's so hard to do that though, when you're tired or angry. but i think that's the simplest and best advice to tackle your everday problems. don't wait till i'm jobless to appreciate my job no matter how hard it is. don't wait to appreciate the people dear to me until they're gone. overlook the small things and aim for the big generous ones. overlook the few nights of lack of sleep to meet a deadline for a greater learning experience. forgive and overlook petty momentary angst for deeper and more important relationships.

nada surf's song always love reminds me sometimes about that.

To make a mountain of your life
Is just a choice
But I never learned enough
To listen to the voice that told me
Always love Hate will get you every time
Always love Don't wait til the finish line

Slow demands come 'round
Squeeze the air and keep the rest out
It helps to write it down
Even when you then cross it out

But Always Love? Hate will get you every time
Always Love Even when you wanna fight

Self-directed lives
I want to know what it?d be like to
Aim so high above
Any card that you've been dealt, you...

Always Love Hate will get you every time
Always Love Hate will get you?

I've been held back by something
Yeah. You said to me quietly on the stairs,
I've been held back by something
Yeah. You said to me quietly on the stairs.
You said?
Hey, you good ones.
Hey, you good ones.

To make a mountain of your life
Is just a choice
But I never learned enough
To listen to the voice that told me...
Always love hate will get you every time
Always love hate will get you

i'm still tired and sian but writing it down probably helps in some way.
