This is just unbearable...

I have been itching for 3 days straight now! And yes, I know I should go see a Dr. but I figure I'm allergic to everything and this shouldn't be any different. It's getting so bad that my hives have hives. This just cannot be normal. The itching is intolerable, unendurable, and just plain painful!
I would love to share a picture of myself with socks over my hands as gloves and calamine all over me, but I'll spare you all the uneasy image. I'm sure it would be enough to probably get you to itch a bit.
So there you have it... my under ten lines of whining about my stupid allergies/hives.

Adventures in the Bay

Before sending my sister back to Miami, I decided to take her to the city. I have to admit I have this terrible fear of heights, and though I may not have been the one driving, there is definitely something to be said about going up a hill only to go back down not being able to see where the heck you're going! San Francisco could quite possibly have the worst/steepest streets I have ever encountered! Being as small as I am, I already struggle not being able to see over my hood at times. But not knowing how far down you're going to have to go from a stop sign up hill, seems too much to me. Yes! I was definitely SPOOKED!

 Everything aside, I was definitely craving something from here, driving down Fisherman's Warf.

A Soy Caramel Frappuccino would have made my day...But it was far too cold to grab one.

I thought about this earlier today…

…and it relates to a lot of things I’ve realized growing up. Do you ever notice how the people who talk a lot of non sense and the ones who really don’t have anything nice to say, are the ones who are either missing someone, missing something, or just unhappy with their life? I never took it into consideration until I really sat and thought about it.
All the people in grade school making fun of you because it makes everyone else laugh, when in all actuality they just want other people to approve of them. Those “friends” you have, (and lets admit we all have them), who are super nice to your face. But the minute you leave, have ANYTHING and EVERYTHING negative to say about what you were wearing, how your hair was, or even how you maybe just stood there and they even had something negative to say about that. THOSE are the people who are missing someone, something, or just plain unhappy. Think about it. I mean really think about it.
What is it that you have that they don’t? And the answer should be EVERYTHING! You probably have everything good in life going for you. That’s why you’re content and you don’t go out of your way to be negative. You don’t go out of your way to make fun.
Trust me. It doesn’t take much to make fun of someone to their face, put them down in front of EVERYONE to see. Get a couple of people to “side” with you. But it takes a strong person, (like yourself), to take it, all of it. Knowing that you can walk away with your head held high because you have everything… and they have something missing.
I look back at them and I feel nothing. I don’t feel sad, it doesn’t make me wish I was any different than I was. I actually feel only one thing towards those people. I feel bad for them.
It must be hard living your life seeking for others to approve of you just to make yourself feel better. It must be exhausting working for others and not yourself. How sad. I feel for you. I get it now.
What should you take away from all this? IF you are the person seeking everyone’s approval, talking non sense, and just plain unhappy. Find happiness. Find it for yourself and not by stepping on anyone to make it happen. Do not find happiness in the expense of others. THAT IS WEAKNESS.
It takes a strong person with all the love, happiness, and self worth to realize that.
Just a thought.
