Amanda at Girl Meets World complains about her life these days: “Wake-up. Go to County Market, the grocery store. 8 hours of my young life down the drain. Wake up go to County Market. Wake up go to County Market. Sleepy, very sleepy.”
It’s a tough lesson to learn, that life isn’t all fun and games. I find myself in the same category. I want to have lots more fun than I am having right now. I stay up too late, out dancing or watching sports on TV, then drag myself out of bed the next morning, and go off to a job that only sort of interests me right now.
Last night was a good example. I had a great time dancing. I talked to lots of nice men and women, I had tons of fun. Melissa the cheerleader, Melissa the math major and Jamie from Brockport were all much too much fun to watch and talk to and dance with. And I had to leave earlier than I would have liked — I had to make one of those compromises — so I could get up the next morning and do a reasonable job at work. Of course, I need the job so I can go out and have fun, and I need to go out and have fun so I can keep my sanity through this wonderful season (the downsizing season where I work).
Life’s a dance, and life’s a series of compromises.
