Real Girl In The City

Do you know a person that no matter what happens it will never be right?  No matter what you say they have a response as to why it won’t work?  Or do you know a person that is negative about everything you do but if they did it then it’s perfect?  Let me tell you about a person like this that I know.

It’s really weird because there are something’s that I do that she thinks are just the best but then if I think I know something then she has to tell me why I am wrong even to the point of arguing with me.  I don’t get it because it all fairness they don’t have any reason to be negative.  This person comes from a great family, has never been really broke, always had a roof over their head, went to college, and hasn’t really experienced any big losses (in my opinion).  However, if you talk to them you would swear that every bad thing that has ever happened in the world has happened to them.  I just really don’t get it.   I’m not saying that I have had a hard life, but I have had some crazy losses and struggles in my life.  Yet even still I can admit that I have things so much better than most and that I have been so blessed and fortunate within my life.  Kinda like that saying, “There but for the grace of God….”.  That has been me.  But this person is not a far distance behind me except for in their head.  In their head things are so much worst then they really are.

It makes me think, why is that?  What makes them think that they have had such a hard life?  I would like to think that it is something in their glasses but they don’t wear glasses.  I know that we all seem to think that our problems are bigger than most other peoples but how do you relate to someone who doesn’t even recognize the big things?  I don’t get it and it is one of those things that I hope I never do.  I like being a cup have full girl.  I know that it might be a little naïve but it works for me.  Even when things seem to being going really bad (like of late) I tend to believe the whole sun will come out tomorrow idea.  Is that so wrong?  I don’t think so.  I know it is hard to maintain a sunny attitude, and far be it for me to try to convenience you that I always do, but wouldn’t the world be a better place if we all tried to have that attitude?  I wish I knew but I like the idea.
