In the movie A Knights Tale, Heath Ledger plays a poor servant boy who “changes his stars” and becomes what he has always dreamed of…a knight. Our DVD collection is full of these type of stories, someone changing their past or at least morphing into that which they always dreamed of becoming. So is this all just Hollywood bullshit or can this transformation really happen? Is there a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, is there really a brass ring, is there really a land of Oz?
Seriously, am I doomed to just be a dead end, go no where slug that all my ancestors were? Should I just give up and crawl into a bottle of Jack Daniels and quit trying? Is that my destiny, really!
I’m trying to break out of the rut and make a different, better life for my family, am I just fooling myself? No matter how far removed I am from the shit, it keeps finding me. I can’t change the past, all I can work on is the future, but if it’s already set in stone…what the fuck is the point!!??
There are people who I count on, for life itself, for comfort, for strength, for a reason to go on. But when those people continue to remind me of what a fuck up I am, I guess it’s time to just stop pounding my head against the wall and accept the fact that I was born into shit, I am shit, and I’ll always be shit.
