When all I wanna do is GROWL - I think of YOU's!

I can't lie....

...the past few days have been rough.

WHY?

Stomach upset
Too much humidity

No more coconut milk in stores
Attacked by beggars

Lack of sleep

Coffee overdose

Report card writing
Lesson plan failing
Grouchy colleagues
Lovely colleagues that I end up growling at...pathetic Lauren, pathetic!

At times like this, 

when I just about to grab my phone and call home,

call in sick or call the latest fortune teller (very fun, I recommend)

~ I stop and think of

(you ready for this?)

friends.

(cheeeeeeeese BALL alert!)

But it's the truth.

I wear the clothes I stole from them.

Wear all the wonderful gift they gave me 

or 

simply just think about them for a split second in my current situation 

and

 it helps.

 It helps me catch my breath, calm me down, before I start growing again.

(Yes, it does INDEED take someone with a great imagination)

YES - it's true! Friends = you LOT! 

Friends near and far.

Friends old and young.

You DANG people, who have somehow gotten etched 

in my memory. You people who perhaps I knew for only a brief amount of time.

YOU have all gotten me through some of my WORST days, weeks, and even months.

And you didn't even know it....did you?

Well it's a fact.

I think of your purdy' little faces,

hear your annoying voice,

see you react as if you were right there in front of me

and for a moment

(as I watch you)

everything calms down around me.

True story. 

(people also get tired of waiting for me to react, but let them

wait - my imagination is working!)

So here is to all the people

(near and far)

who have helped me

(little do they know)

by somehow being stuck in my head

(sounds kinda weird but very true)

and STILL kick my BUTT when I am being an old bi-A-tCH! 

(like yesterday - BahHA!)

Your voices are the ones yelling at me in my own head.

It's like my own GROUP of personal trainers, coaches, mentor, bosses!!! 

All I gotta do is copy what my imaginary friend just said or did in my head 

and 

BOOM;

ready for any situation.

What can I say?

I got me a good imagination.

So..yeah.

Thanks you.

p.s. Except it would be nice if you got out of my HEAD every once in a while!
