In celebration of today, March 9th, being "Get Over It Day", a poem, taken from the creators of the holiday --
"Regardless of age, of race, or of gender,
If you're tall or short, if you're plump or slender.
If you're smart or dumb, if you're straight, gay, or bi-,
This day is for YOU, and we'll now tell you why.
Nobody is happy, every day of their life.
Not an American Idol nor a Desperate House Wife.
Not MVP athletes, nor Oscar-winning stars.
Not rich CEOs, nor hot chicks at bars.
We all have our issues; all lives contain stress.
At some point, we're all, an emotional mess.
Ex-boyfriends, ex-girlfriends, ex-husbands, ex-wives.
There are people to get over in everyone's lives.
Breakups, divorces, rejection of all kinds.
There's lots of bad [stuff] we can't get off our minds.
You miss him. You need her. You just want them back.
Sad, angry, depressed, you're all out of whack.
But as much as things suck, as bad as they get.
If you're fired from your job, if you're swimming in debt.
If you're aging or balding or get a cold sore.
Don't ever forget, that it could always suck more!
If you got your ass dumped, or you got cheated on.
It won't help to flee to Azerbaijan.
It's all part of life; it will help you grow stronger.
But this "pity party" of yours can't last any longer.
You can sit on your ass being sad and depressed.
Or you can choose to be strong, and do as we suggest.
March 9th is the day, to stand up and say:
"Screw that! It's done! It's Get Over It Day!""

And what is it that I need to get over? The fact that I now live in the ATL and it is NOTHING like I thought it would be. That is what I get for having expectations, pre-conceived notions. THAT is what I need to get over....or I'll just be miserable, and we just can't have that yanno....
If I was *real with myself* I'd admit to much more that I NEED to GET OVER, but I just don't feel like typing that all out, so I'm just marinate on it. In honor of this day, why don't you tell me what you NEED to GET OVER.....Hit the comment box, so I can know more about YOUR issues, because I need the distraction HAHAHA!

Thanks for the poem. I didn't know March 9th was the *day* - I'd already decided that March needed to be my "Get Over It" month! And what am I in need of getting over? What else - ahem - cough - lousy man - cough - cough...
I hate cliches, particularly if I'm being one.
The best thing about making up one's mind to "get over it"? It gets easier every day.
