I don't know about any of you, but I don't like those three particular phrases. Especially if they all happen to fall in the same sentence.

However, I find myself using them quite a bit lately. It's the quickest way to blow off whatever event just happened to make people leave you alone about the details of why you're no longer doing what you had originally planned.

I've gotten used to one of those particular phrases. Only because I know someone who uses it more often than I do. And because of that, I've sort of accepted it or gotten used to it or something, to the point where I've realized it's the truth and there's nothing I can do about it. Life goes on. It's true. Life stops for no one. Even if you die, everyone else's life that you ever associated with will continue without even so much as a pause. If someone you know dies, your life continues. Your mindset and personal world change, but your life itself moves on.

My plans seem to be more and more tentative lately. Or incredibly spur of the moment. About the only "plan" that stays constant is showing up to work at the same time every day. I'm not saying spur of the moment plans are bad, but I want to be able to make plans in advance and actually look forward to them. Rather than just hope they actually go through. Or having to keep my expectations lowered so that when the plans get canceled or postponed, it's to the point where I don't get too upset by it anymore. I just kind of expect my stuff to get canceled so when it does happen, I'm not disappointed. There was a time when I could make plans with people and it would run smoothly. Only once in a while would my plans get canceled, but they were always made up shortly afterwards. Not anymore. I've lowered my expectations and have started feeling indifferent towards the changes. Sometimes I get really affected by it, but for the most part I just say whatever.

Anywho, sorry. This is kind of a depressing post. But it's how I'm feeling at the moment. And it's been a while since my last post.

Quick side note, though. Last night wasn't too bad. My sister and I went out to the Fashion Show Mall. It's pretty confusing since there's like 4 different places under the mall to park and the levels of the mall aren't all even with each other. But it was alright. Since it's on the Strip, though, I don't plan on going there very often.

interesting what you say about your plans getting cancelled. Sometimes I think it depends on how dependable your friends are.
