Ever feel like, even though you put yourself out there, trying to make things happen for a change, there are just some things you have no control over? Like you can't make someone like you and you can't make a company give you a chance by calling you in for an interview. Stuff like that.

Okay, there you go. That's the gist of the stuff that's been going on. "Same old, same old", right? But in the interest of a little positive thinking (for a change), maybe that's the wrong way to look at things. Maybe you should just throw caution to the wind and just hope for the best instead of always trying to prep yourself for the worst case scenario.

Maybe that was always my problem...seeing the glass half-full because I thought, knowing this ahead of time, it would cushion the blow if things didn't work out. But, hey, every time something doesn't go the way we really, really want them to, it still hurts like hell. Nothing really preps us for disappointment or pain...so what's the point of worrying, right?
