Now I’m not typically one to post about my drama or whine about the problems going on in and around my life. That is not why I’m sharing this information with you. I just want to be as real and genuine as I possibly can with you, the reader. Yes I know my story is pretty dramatic. What I’m talking about is the dramas of daily life. Not being able to pay your bills or arguing back and forth with your spouse. Quite frankly, it is nobody else’s business and yours is none of mine. You want to approach me and talk to me about yours, that’s perfectly fine. I’ll give you an ear, let you get it off your chest, and give you any advice I may have. But, don’t expect me to come to you about mine, don’t ask me about mine, and don’t expect me to come and ask you about yours. Does that make sense? I’m just a private person and I think people that post all the drama and stuff on Facebook are just looking for attention and they want somebody to feel bad, they need pity. When I first broke my neck one of the things that drove me crazy was how everybody came up and had to say they were so sorry for me. I didn’t want people to be sorry for me. I broke my neck it was time to move on I need to be a dad. I have priorities and I don’t have time to sit around and mope in self-pity and beg people to be sorry for me.
I’ve been a full-time single father and quadriplegic for going on 5 years now. The only reason I made it this far in life is because of me, my choices, and nobody else.
I do want to get some things off my chest though. Now I’m used negative things happening here and there and having to struggle once in awhile, however… Recently, like within the last month and a half… Everything that can go wrong in my life has gone wrong and all at once. Shit has quite literally hit the fan. It’s like the universe is trying to shut me down. Every time I turn around one thing goes wrong I fix that thing then two more pop up I fix those two things now there’s four. I just can’t catch a break it won’t let up and it just keeps getting worse. I don’t let it ruin my day though and it’s not preventing me from working on other people’s projects or helping others in need. Helping others actually takes my mind off of my own crap. Why do I want to help other people with their bullcrap and have nothing to do with my own? Is that normal please tell me? Should I stop being selfless and start being selfish, quit helping others, quit lending a hand to people in need? I don’t know what to do but I know it’s not ruining my day. Don’t have time to sit around and be negative. Helping other people makes me feel better and forget about my own problems though so I don’t think the act of being selfish is going to help that any. I’ll never stop being helpful to be honest I’ll never stop lending a hand to somebody in need. I care too much and it feels really good to help other people. It’s that feeling that drives me to do so but what am I supposed to do, who do I turn to now that I need help? Anyhow what do you think? Get back to me and let me know please!
