Today’s title comes from the Goo Goo Dolls’ song “Sympathy.” Did you know the Goo Goo Dolls were my first favorite band? I’ve loved them since I was twelve and in eighth grade. Congratulations on making it ten years with me, folks.
Anyway, this entry does have a point, and it’s that over the weekend, I seem to have managed to lose every ounce of sympathy in the whole, wide world. My patience is also wearing thin, so things are not looking too good if you are, say, one of my friends and having a crisis of some sort. Don’t come to me this week, please. I will be of no use whatsoever unless you want the complete and total, unadulterated, brash, in-your-face kind of truth no one really wants to hear (mostly because it might involve words you should probably never say to your friends’ faces).
And while we’re talking about honesty, I’m going to be honest and tell the entire world that I’m not actually sorry I don’t care; I’m just sorry if it hurts someone’s feelings because I usually do care and just can’t right now.
The good thing is that I’ve been doing an okay job of hiding my lack of sympathy, but the effort of trying to keep smiling and listening to the same drama over and over again is wearing me down. The bad thing is, I’m getting frustrated about every little thing — from the fact that my faucet has to be turned off in a very specific manner to avoid constant dripping to the fact that my TV is broken (and probably irreparably so, considering it’s a 1989 console TV). I just need things to be happy again.
I suppose having a broken TV is reason enough to go buy a new one, which is kind of exciting. And really, as soon as I get some room to breathe, everything should be fine; it’s just finding the room to breathe is the hard part these days.
