Have you ever stopped to think how many people are actually desperate in life about a variety of things? I can clearly understand when a person is living in poverty that they are in dire need of food, clothing and shelter. However, many individuals feel that they are desperate and use that very word over inconsequential things in life. For example, as teenagers we were always desperate to hear the latest song, possibly see a performer live, date a specific person, get better grades, be a part of the popular group, wear the latest fashions and so much more. None of this was truly at a point that required immediate attention or needed to be handled in a speciic manner. Wanting to be “In the popular group,” either worked or it didn’t. Many teens were devastated because they weren’t. When I was in high school I just really didn’t care. I did try to wear the latest fashion but I was on a budget and I had to earn the money for purchases. I remember saving up to buy wool socks and saddle shoes along with a specific style of jacket. I felt great in the clothes for a while but they weren’t me. Today, in the workplace many individuals feel that they are desperate to fit in and succeed. It is not always achievable. When I did work in an office I tended to keep to myself and do my work. I socialized if time permitted but otherwise I had a job to do so I simply did it. I had been in offices where it was completely obvious that individuals were desperate to fit in. I always felt sad for this one woman who had been divorced. All the men chased her as they were sure she was easy. She wanted to be a part of everything but her divorce back then made her damaged goods. She was very nice and I had always hoped that she believed in herself more and would be happy. I hope her life turned out positive.
