Well today is Monday. I really hate Mondays. Its like the world thinks everything is closed on the weekends so everyone waits till Monday to get things done. You need a new lawn mower, lets go to Home Depot. We need to paint the house, lets go to Lowes. We need winter clothes lets go to Walmart. We need groceries, lets go to HEB. And that is the way it is. Everyone is thinking the same thing. So everywhere you go you run into lines of people. My first thought is how do all these people get Mondays off? I mean its Monday, first work day of the week, everyone goes back to school, everyone goes back to work? I cant be the only one working on Mondays can I?
If I didnt know better I would swear it was Sunday. But no its not. Do people call in sick to work, or do they not work? They say the average American works 45-50 hours a week. But from what I see the Average American works 25-30 hours a week jajajaja.
I guess I am a little jealous, some people make in a day what I make all week long. Its not fair. Its just not fair. But like my papi used to say, “Aint nothing fair in this life.” And he was right. Life isnt fair. We work hard all our lives and for pretty much peanuts. Never getting ahead in life, never knowing life and luxury the way others know it. For me splurging means going to Whataburger and paying 7 dollars for a combo, it means adding cheese to my burger. It means buying my son new tennis shoes while I still have my old ones from 2 years ago with hardly any soles left. Life is hard. Boy dont I know it.
But then this is the only life I know. I dont know any other. But then there is Twilight. He does know other lives. And each life he’s had he’s sufferred. I dont remember him ever having any life in all of them lives that has had luxury and been well off in. He’s had a tough life each and every single time. Imagine that. Having lives where its always harsh, always hard, always tough, always miserable. Kinda makes you wonder why god would make you suffer so much for so long. What did you do Twilight? What did you do so very long ago to deserve that? And some people say we suffer in this life so that we may be better off in the next. But that aint always the case is it?
Suffering is all some of us ever get. While others drive around in Mercedes and cars I cant pronounce. Living in luxury and living in yachts and going off to vacations in other countries. There are foods I cant afford and never will be able to afford. I have never in my life tasted lobster. And I dont think I will ever be able to afford lobster. I dont have a clue what it tastes like. I assume its like a jumbo shrimp. A really big shrimp. I count every penny, clip coupons, use gas cards to save 3 cents off a gallon. And I am tired of this life. I want another one. But its just not meant to be. I would love to know how rich people live. But I am never going to be rich. I am always going to be Emerson, a nobody who will always be a nobody. But one person will see me as more and what I do, I do for my him. My son is all that matters. And if I have to live this crappy life to the last moment, then so be it. Maybe I will never be rich. But I dont have to be rich to live a good life. I can be ok with this life. How about you Twilight? Will you ever be ok with your life? I wonder.
Well Twilight that is it for me today. I hope to hear from you very soon.
