I Hate You

Not you, but the you that is watching TV while OD'ing on good food, possibly wine and just relaxing...while I am still hard at work.

The you that seems to think that my life, yes "my" life, is privileged...because, of course "I am lucky."

Lucky?!

Am I lucky because I am up late at night instead of planting my big fat butt on the couch while drinking a glass of Pinot Grigio? Which is honestly what I would like to do, instead of staring at a computer screen...but I digress.

Or, am I lucky because I spend less and less time in the sunlight, while I, instead, type-away strategies, build plans, and (try to) make something amazing happen with my life?

Yes, my life...not yours.

Yes, I hate you for assuming and caring a little too much about the ups in my life, instead of being there when I have lows.

Because if you were there, when I have a low or two, I might actually like you.

For now, I simply hate your childish rants, high school antics, and ignorant assumptions.

Let it be clear that everything I have, and everything I will have, was earned by the sweat on my brow and a lot of creative money management.

Want some of it?  Get to work!

A moment in venting,

  1. It's very true Ana Lydia that it takes a lot of hard work, determination,courage and passion to reach our dreams. Today, you are planting the seeds and very soon you will see the harvest of all your sacrifices. :-)

    1. I really don't mind the hard work Isabel, I mind the assumptions people make that any little bit of success happens magically. It almost makes me want to hide :(
