Making It by T.W. Snicket
What do you do when your friends are making it?
Making it being the phrase used to identify that you:
are not living in your parents house but own one
are married
have a child
got a promotion
had something published
got a role in a fantastic new show
What do you do when not only that but you know you have talent
That if you could just get that chance
And by the way how in the hell did he get that script in front of them
Maybe this is it
I mean
what do you do when sure you could have committed to that relationship but you decided something just was not right
what do you do when you got passed over for the promotion, the part, the play
You Work as a receptionist or market analyst that is what you do
Maybe Struggle for rent
Maybe just Hope for the best
Maybe just Sleep more
Maybe eat the whole thing and feel sick
Then one day say No.
Say maybe today is my day
Today is my day to fail and be OK with it because Fuck it
You:
Fail at as many things as possible
Fail at finding a seat on the bus
Fail at getting a raise
Fail with an office joke
Fail with flirting with Denise in accounting
Fail at as many things as possible
And
Eventually you wont
Eventually you will be so used to failing that you will not care
Eventually you will grow
Eventually you will find yourself
Eventually someone will see you and say to themselves
What do you do when your friends are making it?
