#mliaj

Friends, family, nation, inter-web, it has come to my attention that there is little advocacy for those who aim high but fall short every time. 

Exhibit A: I had two goals today: 1) get a lot of shit done 2) be healthy. 

12:30 pm: Take out my fancy and carefully picked $10 salad 

12:31 pm: Decide that being healthy is not so bad, feel like the salad was a #winning choice 

12:35 pm: Take out laptop to simultaneously do work because everyone else is doing this, and I don’t want to be left behind 

12:35 and 30 seconds pm: Salad falls on to ground. Greens and grains everywhere. 

12:36 pm: Clean up said salad while others watch

12:39 pm: Announce: “My life is a joke” I should write a blog called #mliaj

12:39 and 10 seconds pm: Someone whose life is not a joke: “I don’t think I would ever read that” 

12:39 and 11 seconds pm: Me: “Clearly you are not my target audience” 

12:45 pm: Buy a cookie, because, why bother? 

6:00 pm: Non #mliaj classmate’s words still ringing in my ears... “I will write my pain.”
