"sad"

you know what's sad?

being sad is being insecure about someone, something. regardless of the potential or fulfilled potential that you have you will continue to feel "not good enough" and full of suspicion and fear. that's sad.

it's like naomi campbell's bad behaviour (thrashed ex-boyfriend's yacht, for one), a certain friend's need to surround herself with company, a certain student's fear of failing, an employee's daily struggle with whether or not he's going to get fired, yelled at, thrown darts at that day...

isn't that sad?

living a life like this, i mean?


and how do you walk out of it? leave the job? stay single? bang your head against the wall and hope the blackout lasts till your next reprieve?

i think in this case what sharon stone has said is true: know what you are afraid of. then do it. at this stage, it is important to know what you fear, and why you fear.
