From The Mind Of The Mystery
 
Looking out the window staring at the streets, I begin to think back on my life and what I have came to be.The past few years flew by like they were minutes to me. So many changes have come around. New life has come and death and taken over a few. It makes someone start thinking harder. Honestly, it kinda gives me aheadache.

I spent these last couple years trying to find myself and the person I am. I’ve come to realize I am still doing that. Its frustrating living day-by-day and paycheck-to-paycheck. It takes a toll on someone. Also trying to please everyone. With all the working, the cleaning and the pleasing, I am tired.

Sitting here at age 26 its beginning to seem that my life has been semi meaningless. Even though I have a wonderful girlfriend. A great job. Got to travel outside the country and experience things most people my age don’t get to. But I wonder something most the times. Is it too much to ask to get a little bit of appreciation? A thank you for doing something small. As you all can tell by now there are problems in the mysteries household but who doesn’t have problems right?

How do you talk to people who seem to not want to listen? They tell you once before that you can talk to them about anything even if it’s something about them. The 180 happens and now you don’t want to bother cause they get defensive and refuse to listen to reason. That’s my recent battle. Something so simple but so hard.  Communication is a huge key in any type of relationship. Whether it is friendships, lovers, and long term. I know I am not the best at it most the time but I still try and so does my girlfriend.

Me and her both got physically and mentally demanding jobs and we are both military the stresses weigh at us all the time. But we still come home to try to spend whatever time we can with each other. But instead we are stuck cleaning the house. Emotionally, physically and mentally tired we get as much as we can done. But regardless it’s still a mess. We have another person living here who does not have as much of a physically demanding job. She does not do much. We want to talk to her about what she does not do so bad but anytime we bring it up she gets defensive. I am writing this column cause I am asking for help. How can we talk to this person without them thinking we are attacking them and keep them from interrupting us. She will start yelling at us when all we are asking is when we can get some help. We are both tired. I have not wrote for a while because of all of this. The stress gives me a bad mental block. I am sending out a plea. I have tried everything I could think of.

I am already starting to feel a lot better.
