tonight i learned that i had managed to get on a list. not a hit list, either, so i was fairly impressed with myself (since being on a hitless would be a virtually effortless achievement for me :P)the discovery really put things in perspective, though. it seemed to make everything a little more "worth it" than it had previously seemed. it closed the door to the pity room, firmly locking me out.
i'm thinking now that maybe maintaining my place on that list is really what i should be concentrating on--not whether these shoes match perfectly with this purse, or whether that guy thinks you're cute, or whether you have a date to this event or that. just because distractions come in all shapes and sizes, and they're hiding behind every corner that you think you've triumphantly turned.
maybe instead of worrying obsessively about popularity or grades or appearance or a plethora of other vain, prideful things, i should be giving my spot on that list a little more attention.
you've gotta start somewhere, right?
:O
