Survival mode ki...It's pretty straight-forward. Survival mode kicks in, and thriving is no longer priority. Simply living another day is top priority. Not whether or not that other day has a 60 inch television or a hot boyfriend. You just hope you wake up.<br /><br />And you're right about American attitudes towards work. Push, push, push until you fall apart. And then they point and stare because you were too weak to keep it all together. The really stupid part about it is that simply pushing forward doesn't get you anywhere. You can keep walking through the Sahara Desert, but it doesn't do you much good if you're just going in circles.<br /><br />Smart choices count more than tenacious ones. The best times of your life, though, are when you can both make a smart choice and keep pushing your way through the obstacles that block the way.<br /><br />That is when you're truly unstoppable.<br /><br />Thanks for the great comment! And for stopping by, I appreciate it.Kylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01793288607844743336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282677050879617208.post-9394423950947415862013-05-29T21:46:00.050-07:002013-05-29T21:46:00.050-07:00Thanks so much for your support.

And that lot has taught me more than most people ever get a chance to see. Suffering, while terrible, is also food for the soul. It opens up thoughts and understanding in a way that simply cruising through life never could.<br /><br />I hope that your suffering has taught you some equally helpful lessons. Not because I want you to suffer. But because everyone does. Might as well use it to become a better person if you have to endure it anyway, right?Kylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01793288607844743336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282677050879617208.post-31557740507071838352013-05-22T06:59:34.719-07:002013-05-22T06:59:34.719-07:00I agree with your philosophy here.

In America we are pretty much preached at from birth to just keep working your ass off no matter what. This doesn't work. We all need to take a break once in awhile, so that we can hopefully live to fight another day.Jimmy Fungushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11953474867719568319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282677050879617208.post-86213747843153813372013-05-22T02:51:12.692-07:002013-05-22T02:51:12.692-07:00Glad to hear that you're clinging on.

I know it sounds cliched Kyla but that's sometimes when you actually achieve things the most, when you're backed into a corner and instead of giving up like a coward (which you aren't), you fight your way out. Personally I don't think that you're weak at all though in general, you've been through so much and nothing will discredit that strength that you have shown in your life, don't forget that.Outcasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03400755239612162157noreply@blogger.com
