What Can I Do?

I can't ...
be responsible for anyone's actions but my own.
hold your hand through life to make you feel better.
tolerate weak people.
always be a grown-up.
be everything that you want me to be.
hide the obvious.
be anything I'm not.
live your life for you.
fix everyone's problems.
allow myself to be vulnerable.
accept failure.
promise that everything will be okay.



I can...
be the best that I can be.
make a friend laugh when needed most.
talk my way out of just about anything.
hold on to the tiniest memories.
be strong.
take one for the team.
pretend that I'm okay when I'm crumbling inside.
live every day like it's my last.
be incredibly silly.
take care of the ones I love.
create my own success.
love harder.

What can you do?

There's really 2 of me

I've come to the startling realization that I am 2 people.  There's Everyday and there's Professional

Professional,  I'll admit, is a little uptight and pretty boring.  She asks the right questions at the right times and has the right answers.  She knows how to get things accomplish, act like she has a freakin' clue what she's talking about and looks damn good doing it.  She's the one that desperately wants to fit in and be respected. 

Everyday, on the other hand, is the fun one.  She's the one with the jokes, the stories and the smiles.  She's the real me.  The one you can sit back and bullshit with for hours and not realize it's 2 am.  The one you call when you need a laugh.  The one that, frankly, doesn't give a shit what people think of her.

I want Everyday to be around more often.  Honestly, I'm getting a little sick of Professional, she's kinda pissing me off.  She won't relax, won't just let things be, has to constantly be in control of all the minute fucking details and worry about the end result because no one else is going to (which is probably bullshit, but she'll keep telling herself that her way is the best way and fuck the rest of them) and is going stroke out if she doesn't take 5 minutes to stop and smell the damn roses.  So to counteract how annoying Professional is getting.  I endulge Everyday a little too much.  Too many late nights lately, too much booze, just too much. 

I need more balance in my life.
