Like the Eric Idle song says.."Always look at the bright side of life"

In direct contrast to my last post, I'd like to reflect on how dropping out of high school has actually been somewhat beneficial for me. And of course, I'm not going to sit here and advocate that dropping out is a good thing by any means. Just that it has created some positive changes for me.

Now when I dropped out I was partially forced into getting a real job(and not like one dumping newspapers). Actually getting that first job was a good experience for me. I started to learn how to manage my own money, I lost a bit of weight, and I actually started to care about how I looked around other people. To be quite honest though that job was not the greatest and I did quit right after my mom was fired for some total BS. And I sort of slumped back into laziness for the summer when I quit.

My second job, the job I have now, is what really opened my eyes up to life. I completely changed my eating habits and I started to lose more weight again. And I fully started to care what I look like. I feel like a completely different person then I was a year or two years ago and it feels good. Talk about a job with benefits amirite?

So getting almost about a year and a half of work experience(I guess "life experience" too) and the fact that I actually take care for myself now, has made the last two years at least somewhat decent. So yeah, life really isn't always that bad..
