Being a Realist

You know, so many people say that we need to maintain a positive attitude at all times.  I say screw them.  I am a realist.  I know that the world is not perfect and that life can absolutely suck at times.  I work more than a child slave worker in China and study harder than a Mathlete, but it seems like I can never get ahead.  And, please, do not tell me that good things are coming.  Empty promises just piss me off and make things worse.

I am a happy person and am content with my life, but I just wish that my hard work would finally truly pay off.  It truly sucks to keep chugging along only to never finish the race.
