The Culture of Me

What does one do when they are simply tired of all the people around them? We are surrounded by the people we love yet if the burden is too big why do we have to carry it alone?

I find myself hating each and every single day because of the people around me. Does that make me a bad person? I want to be happy I want to help others. But it’s extremely difficult to find happiness in doing such things when others make your life so much more difficult.

We try to excuse the behavior but the truth is they are just lazy and don’t care. Which puts you right in the center of my battle. I care how the house looks, I care about taking care of my mom, I care about not having an invasion of ants in the house.

I consistently do each thing not because of anyone else but myself. But it becomes exhausting when you live with people that just don’t care. They are not willing to help with other things that the household might need. So it all falls on one person instead of every one doing their part to make it easier for all.

We all live here it’s our house so why not find something to do for the house instead of waiting on one person to do it all. Together we could accomplish a lot more than if just one person is doing all the work. I guess that is a task that will never happen instead it will continue to lie at the feet of one person.

Which does bring me to the larger problem in our society. The idea that I come first, second and last no one comes before me, it’s all about what I want, what I need and how I feel. Never a thought of the fellow man just simply a me, me, me mentality.

It’s something I know I cannot change I can only change how I react. But God Almighty it is exhausting having to deal with these morons.

Sleepless nights

Every night I head to bed, take my medication to help me sleep but recently haven’t been able to sleep the whole night. I used to think it was the stress I am under. I am doing a lot of different projects at once and that could be the reason. On the other hand I was sleeping just fine a couple of months ago. So what changed? At this very moment I have no clue I fell asleep about 12:30-1:00am. I was tired and had a long day taking care of the dogs. So again I was tired, played my games and headed to bed. Now here I am at 4:04 am in the morning wondering how is this my new normal. I went from sleeping the whole night to sleeping just a few hours. Like I said fell asleep around 12-1 and I woke up about 3:30 half hour later I am still trying to fall back asleep. I really can’t shut my mind off and I praying God helps me. Let’s hope. I will try to head to bed again hoping this time will be the moment I fall asleep. I will let you know how good that works tomorrow. Nite ~Emma~
