Reason for poor sleep

[jchrisobrien]

Long stressed out dream, met some friends with a really cute girl, they were off to an e party with some other people who decidedly didn't want me there (fuckers), fortunately, my friends and the cute girl blew them off to hang with me. We sat and watched the stars fall, then noticed some of them were falling up. (I've had dreams like this before, I know where this is leading) Then there was a flash, and a mushroom cloud on the horizon. I could see the shock wave coming... (who the hell has dreams about nuclear war this long after the cold war's ended?) I turned from it, and all was well. The dream ends with my getting ready to run a mage game, which about 25 people show up for. How many people did I invite to this anyway? It devolves into a big party, with people generally acting obnoxious. I throw the book up in disgust... and wake up. Early. With my damn lip aching and cracking.

Oh well, things could be worse. I'll keep telling myself that. We'll see if it makes things better. Wouldn't that be nice if that was the case? If just know that other people are going through worse things than you could make your bad mood go away, I'd just collect newspaper articles and clippings about people who've suffered horrible tragedies, and read them so I could feel better about my situation. "See? Things aren't so bad." Damn, that's pretty sick.

Well that's the standard response our parents or others give us: "Cheer up, it can always be worse!"

But there are a lot of things that we shouldn't LET bother us, because they are small and insignifigant in comparison to the larger things.
