Wake Up Call

I had a serious chat session with my friend today and he told me that he admired my ability to stay focused and constantly move forward with my life. I don't know if I can agree with his praise but I do appreciate the compliment. To be completely honest, I've heard similar compliments before from friends. I've been told I'm someone who "just gets sh*t done" or the "Godfather" because I just quietly take care of business. These are all too high of a praise for me but I appreciate them because it becomes a self-fulfilling compliment for me. It's like I somehow became this responsible friend that they can rely on and it's this very reason that motivates me stay focused and hopefully, continue being that friend. But this post really isn't about patting myself in the back...

It seems like a lot of people I know are in some kind of a funk these days... and by funk I mean some odd/weird/negative/depressing situation.

One of my best AND worst abilities is to completely cut out people, no matter how close they are, from my life without hesitation and I don't take back my decision once it's made. It's my best ability because it allows me to completely separate myself from negative people/situations but it's also my worst because it really shows my cold-hearted and have-no-emotions nature (my friends also call me a "robot" because I have no heart). I know I just jumped from people being in a funk to my ability but they're related because the next part goes out to the aforementioned people.

If you're in a funk and are HONESTLY trying your best to remedy your situation, don't hesitate to come to me and I will try my best to play that "Godfather" role and be there for you. I will drag you out and carry you on my back if I have to. You are NOT a burden.

BUT if you're one of those people who come to me just to complain and ask for advice you have no intention of heeding, then don't bother. You are wasting your time and more importantly, you are wasting mine. I can't stand people who just complain and look for an easy way out without trying their best to remedy the situation. I am cold-hearted and I WILL cut you out of my life because you're doing absolutely nothing but trying to drag me down with you.

I know this post seems like some kind of a threat but it's not meant to be. It's my sick and twisted way of motivating you to try harder. Can you honestly look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself you're trying your absolute hardest to get out of your funk? My guess is no.

So give yourself a slap and wake the F up.
