it's funny.

when you let yourself be happy, you think that all the things that prevented you from feeling that way are now incredibly stupid.
it's also funny
how the world/life/etc. trains you to cherish happiness but at the same time be aware that your world could come crashing down tomorrow.

anywho,
doing my best to fulfill obligations and unspoken expectations. doing surprisingly well.

oh and in other news..
saw a group of kids that looked like they were seven or eight years old, but apparently were old enough to own a pair of Rock N Republic and True Religion jeans. WTF?! when i was their age-- whatever their age is-- i shopped wherever my mom brought me to which was either the navy exchange or target, and i was grateful. these kids--well, they're not what i hope my kids turn out like. further establishing my intentions of good and humble parenting for the future.
