WTF Jamie?

I was sitting in Taco Bell today in a bit of a funk (what's new) when I noticed an employee having her lunch. She couldn't be more than twenty and I noticed she was expecting. At this sight my mind started to make up scenarios of her life. I imaged how hard things must be to be that young and having to make ends meet while dealing with future of being a mother providing for her child. In reality I really don't know her story but I know that her expression was that of someone with great worries and she was exhausted. I spend most of my time in here writing of my worries and strife mostly because I need a sounding board for myself to process the crap in my head. This brief instance today was a reminder that everyone has troubles and makes me want to make mine work for me while working to give something back to those who are less fortunate than myself. In theory this sounds grand but I honestly believe that the littlest spark can make a flame. The past week has been about the person I strive to be verses the person I am. I realize I set lofty goals and then beat myself when I fall short, but the ideal I need to keep in mind is that I have to continue to peruse those goals and not to get lost in the process. I will be a better friend, brother, son and person but please be patient if I fall short time to time. I can only hope that my overall contribution will outweigh my failures.
