I asked a co-worker if they thought my personalitly resembled anyone from a book or movie. She couldn't come up with an answer. She said that I have a very interesting personality and view on life.
There's one character I can identify with from one of my favourite books. The character is Arthur Dent from Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. My life is one big cosmic irony similar to what Arthur goes through while hitch hiking his way through the universe. I can listen to very bad poetry and critique (validate)it to find a human connection when there may not even be one. I find myself trying to return to a simple life which is no longer there. I feel my path in life can quickly change by the improbability of a ramdon event which turns out not to be so random afterall.
Jack - I've written before, that I mostly journal when something bad happens. A lot of good has happened in my life too, but there always seems like there's some kind of a twist at the end. For example my SS23 and I went to bowl in the nationals in Reno this month. We had a great time and I thought this would be our thing. He and I are on the same bowling team and we have a lot of fun bowling together. We'll on the plane trip home he tells me how he can't wait to take his dad the next time he goes. At first, I felt hurt but laughed it off since this seems to always happen. Now I find the humor in meeting up with his dad if or when he decides to go to the nationals.
BTW: When I told my co-worker I thought my life was like Arthur Dent's she laughed and agreed.
