I almost let something/someone asinine, ugly, and menial get to me just now.

then I remembered that I'm lucky to have an amazing family, gorgeous set of friends, & a boyfriend who treats me like a queen. Why would I look back and compare what once was and what's NOW?

There is one thing I do wish didn't change, and that's the situation with my brother. We're not on speaking terms & regard each other as estranged - it's been this way on and off for 2-3 years and steadily for the past 3-4 months now. Don't assume that I'm being parochial, it's not that. We just can't get along and the past 2-3 years have fallen testament to this, and it'll probably stay this way for years to come, and I'm fine with this. The funny thing is I'm moving to LA later this year, and so is he. It's a funny situation how we plan on moving out to get away from each other, only to end up in the same city. The next few months are crucial. Apartment hunting in LA is really annoying btw.

Also, I'm the luckiest woman in the world.
