keep on truckin'

i've always had kind of a lackadaisical view on the negative things that happen in life. like, why let this event fuck everything up when you've got 70 years ahead of you? just keep on truckin'. probably because i went through more than the average joe the first ten years of my life.
i just think that you make your own reality. what you put out there is exactly what's gonna' come your way. if you think that you are fat and ugly, then that's what people are going to think about you too. mindy and i were talking about this the other day when we saw a sad, ugly, fat girl at a restaurant. she was sitting slumped over with zero confidence while her "skinny, pretty friend" talked to the guys at the table. if she carried herself with grace and confidence people would respect her and not think that she was sad, fat, and ugly. if she didn't make self deprecating comments people wouldn't run the other way. it just seems like such a simple concept to me. i guess everybody has their particular journey in life and for some people it's figuring out that if they don't love themselves nobody is going to do it for them.
just some thoughts i've been having.
