Maybe it's just that time of the year, but damn, every time I talk to people lately, it's just an overwhelming dialogue of bitching and negativity.
My core group of friends, who are all mostly really good people, are just going through such times lately. I met up with them for the 4th, and all I hear is their long ass woe is me stories. It would be one thing if it was one, or another, but for fucks sakes, it's all of them. After 3 hours of hanging out at a poolside party for the 4th, I had to go. What should have been a relaxing and enjoyable time had me leaving more stressed than when I showed up. Just one fucking story after another.
I come into work this morning. My co-worker comes into my office to use my Keurig, I ask how was their 4th, and I get the story of their visit to their aunt with alzheimers based dimentia and how much their life is shit now....
Of course, by making this thread, now I'm doing it to.
Anyone been through a cycle like this. In this case, it's been like most of this year has been people bitching, kvetching, and under-achieving. It has me seriously considering a friendcull and relocating my ass to find some more positive people.
Maybe I just need to find some more people who are actually accomplishing and moving forward with their lives to spend time with. I'm beginning to think my friends circle is like that neighborhood that you grew up in that was awesome, but is more and more rapidly starting to become a neighborhood people move out of as soon as they can.
I've got enough equity in the home now that I'm seriously investigating selling and getting a smaller place (I honestly don't need 1800 sq feet) in St. Pete so I can be closer to the beach.
