When the going gets tough, the tough find a new road to joy

This is it. I'm nearly ready to give up. As said -Resistance is futile. I'm might be left without any choice but to marry rich.
But, Aisha, you cry, what about happiness? Can an oddly charming creature such as yourself really find bliss with a money-grubbing automaton without conversation, personal style or morals?
Unfortunately, kiddies, the answer might just be yes. If bliss can be defined as "not living in squalor and fighting an ongoing, uphill battle against the encroaching filth of a kind-hearted but oblivious-to-basic-hygienic-practices domicile-mate", then yeah I can turn my back on all core-Aisha-values and whore my loyalties out to the highest bidder. That is to say, I might have to give up writing altogether (for a while), and find a place to devote myself to corporate U.S.A, UK, etc… I'm prepared to assimilate.
(he he ok It was a joke!) I don’t think I will ever do that! I am so picky, it’s pathetic!
Being intelligent is not being studious. It is knowing how to be fulfilled in all circumstances. The essence of greatness is the ability to choose personal fulfillment in circumstances where others choose madness. I know a lot of people who got married for money…I don’t want to name them here, that will definitely create an imbroglio (and to be honest with you -I am not up for another melodrama!).
A friend of mine actually dumped a guy just because she was forced to do it by her “chahane wale!” (loved ones)…(because the guy was poor)…She received an anonymous letter “apparently from a well wisher” telling her to dump the guy or face funny consequences (big deal!). She must have freaked out…poor girl. She spent tremendous time putting effort on recognizing the handwriting …(even though she figured it out almost right away but she was in denial for several years). She just could not believe that “an angel” could write a fatuous letter like that!
When she meets the person (the well wisher and anonymous astute writer), she greets him humbly. I guess she is happy with the fact that people are outlining her future for her. She never confronted him...(did I tell you that she lacks that ability?) Oh well, I know confrontation is a painful ordeal for many, many people. It is something that most people avoid. Yet confrontation can be educational, in building relationships, improving relationships, and generating better understanding between people. That depends on how confrontation is handled, of course. When approached in a positive manner with good intentions and a strong desire to resolve whatever the issue; confrontation comes out with positive results. Those that seek to avoid confrontation usually have had negative outcomes from confrontation. That is what makes them avoid it at all costs.

Best wishes,
