Smoker since I was 14. I’m now 26, so in principle I can quit now and still lead a pretty decent life. But can I quit? Fuck, I can’t even get into the frame of mind where I want to quit. I know I should quit. Some mornings my lungs feel pretty shitty, and I can’t have a cigarette until prolly around ten because of how sensative they are. But what do I do? Shit, I can’t make it passed noon without hitting a cigarette.
Then my Willpower retreated further. I am now a good 50 pounds overweight. Nothing earth-shattering, but clearly a sign of things to come.
Can I pay my bills ontime? Well, maybe if my willpower got a fucking clue. Oh, I can get those bills paid before they are 30 days late, but what the fuck. I have the money. It is sitting right there in my account doing fucking nothing. Why the fuck am I so lazy?
And now, for the passed three weeks, my willpower left yet another area of my life. I can’t go to sleep. Oh, I am tired alright. My concentration gets low, my eyes feel ready to shut. I yawn, even. But do I just get into bed and go to sleep? How fucking hard is it? So 4AM rolls around and I have a luscious three hours of sleep to look forward to. You’d think I’d go to bed on time the next night, right? Heh, fat fucking chance. I’m that much more tired, sure, but hey, why fucking go to bed when I can stay up and get nothing done? Oh, and smoke. And eat. :rolleyes:
What…the…fuck. And the worst thing is, I really don’t feel like I have any esteem problems. I don’t hate myself. I enjoy my life, more or less. I could use some more friends (read: any) since I’ve moved away from Ohio, but I’ve never been the most social guy in the world anyway so it has never been a real priority for me. I could use a girlfriend, but my last attempt turned me a little sour (she said she didn’t want a boyfriend, and then promptly went out and got a boyfriend… hey, all you had to say was ‘no thanks, erl, I’m just not interested in you.’ Fuck). I could use a little more money, but who couldn’t?
In short, I got piss all to really complain about, and I am far from unhappy. But why the fuck am I such a lazy bastard? Has anyone here gotten out of a laziness funk? I’d say I’m getting sick of it, but if that were really the case you’d think I’d fucking do something about it. Gah.
