2009 can suck it
Goodbye, Year of Suckage aka 2009.
Oh, not for me. I had a fabulous year. For you. I know how many of you have been sniveling about the various woes of 2009, and I know that you’re now looking forward to casting all that aside with one flip of a calendar page.
Well, hell. It ain’t that simple, baby. And yet it is.
Fine, Bitch. Explain yourself, wouldja?
No problem. I’m always happy to oblige.
1. It’s not that simple. So what was your beef about 2009? It was a tough year for a lot of people. I don’t mean to say Quit your complaining, lots of people have it way worse than you, but I could say that. But it was a rough year. Not just from the economy tanking, people losing hope for change, foreclosures, homelessness, hunger, hopelessness, and litigious ex-husbands, no — there was a lot going on. On an energetic level. Woo-woo bullshit, the kind that’s real and smacks you in the ass.
You’re a sensitive person. You felt this. SMACK! You dug deep inside yourself and brought up all kinds of sewer sludge that now you’re wishing was still buried in there. And now you’re looking around helplessly, wondering what to do with all the shit inside you that you can no longer hide.
This is why it’s not so simple to change your outlook by changing the page of a calendar. Your shit travels with you.
2. It’s easy-peasy lemon-squeezie. Seriously, people, you’re making this way harder than it needs to be. So sure, you unearthed a bunch of nasty stuff and you can’t get rid of it. Right? Is this where we are now?
Fine. I’ll give away my secrets. Because I sort of like you.
Here it is. It’s in two parts, so pay attention. If you blink you’ll miss it.
A. Be open to the possibility that things can change for you in a way that’s easy and painless.
B. Then fucking forget about it.
Yeah, I’m serious about that last thing. Forget about it. Go on with your life. Let go of needing to let go. Take one step and then another. How many new-age platitudes do I need to roll out here, anyway? Just take a breath and do whatever you need to do in the next moment.
And if you do that? You are going to kick 2010’s ASS. I promise.
Now go. Kick some ass.

i must have looked into some crystal ball and read this post future-forward and taken your instructions to heart because, well, 2009 was a pretty awesome year. yeah, yeah, i got my gas cut off because i forgot to pay the bill, and my mother keeps mixing up 1939 with 1969, and another family member has developed a mental health issue, etc., etc., but honestly, 2009 was GOOD. my new years resolution was to not go for any achievements at all. and then somehow i made all kindsa good things happen.
thanks for giving me the space to brag
