Today, I realized that the title of my memoir may as well be, “I Didn’t Want To, but I Felt Like I Had No Choice.” FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found myself lying to my diary. FML
Today, I'm so lonely that I actually convinced myself it was by choice. FML
Today, I had to write an essay for school explaining what motivates me to study. The more I tried to write it, the more I realized I've been wasting my time going back to school, and I never really wanted it. FML
Today, after much reflection, I realized my "happy childhood" was more like "the years I was oblivious to how much people despised me." FML
Today, I realised that I live to work. I’m not even good at my job. FML
Today, again I wrote out another FML. Again, I deleted it before posting. Every FML I write would seem like I'm just making stuff up, or would be so obviously me that it would just cause me grief. My life is just an endless stream of weird stuff I can't tell family or friends. FML
Today, I realized that not only am I still an unpublished author, but I can't even get an FML posted after submitting several in the last year. FML
Today, I cried myself to sleep. Last night too, and the night before that, and the nights before those. But I guess that’s what life is, huh? FML
Today, I realized how alone I truly was when I caught myself talking to a podcast. FML
Today, according to my mom, she didn’t make the selfless decision to have me just for me to grow up and make the completely selfish decision not to marry my long term partner, nor to give her any grandkids. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Many times we only get to choose the lesser of the bad choices instead of the choice we don’t really have; but we want. Thats life… But if you make a realistic plan and try to follow through with that plan (adjustments will be required), then you will feel more in charge of your life… If it’s any consolation, most of our plans get carried out one small choice at a time. If you persist towards your goals you will get much closer than if you give up - As long as your goals are realistic… These have been tough times for many people. Don’t give up just because of that.

That's a great motto. Responsibility can be a bitch! It keeps me from having so much fun. Ok, hookers and blow, I don't want to, but here I come!

Your motto would become "I wanted to, but the police told me I couldn't".

Such is the life that most men will have, after they get married
