Day 7: Coulda Woulda Shoulda

I have discovered that in general it seems I have a habit to depend on people in order to accomplish things - and in all honesty, sometimes you have to do that because there is literally no other way to accomplish some things.

But an ongoing string of similar situations is now leading me to believe that I'm supposed to depend more on myself in particular circumstances.

For instance- the last THREE times I have made plans with a friend to go away or take a day/weekend trip out of the city they have bailed on me at the last moment.

[that whole "third time's a charm" thing is total B.S.]

Which leads me to believe one (or a combination) of the following:

1. I am not supposed to depend on others if I need a break
2. I am not supposed to leave the immediate Bay Area
3. I am never supposed to leave the immediate Bay Area
4. The immediate Bay Area is my Hotel California

I am so frustrated right now that I know I'm not going to make much sense. All I know is that when something happens once, it's life. When something happens twice it could be chance, when it happens three times that's the universe talking to you.

What is the message, though?
