Please remember that I do not own South Park.
I think life is funny, just when you're at the lowest you've ever been it can turn around just like that. It might just be that when you hit rock bottom you have no place to go but up. Whatever it is I'm thankful for everything that's happened.
Take a few years ago for instance, I was a broke singer trying to make it the music industry. People laughed and told me I was wasting my time dreaming of such nonsense.
My parents flipped a shit when I quit the coffee business. Even my boyfriend told me how stupid I was to give up my day job to focus on my music.
"What a fucking waste. This is the most ridiculous thing you have ever done Tweek." Craig shook his head and I could see the anger in his eyes.
"Craig, it's my dream! I want it more than anything. If I don't at least try I know I can never be happy." I pleaded with him to listen but he had already made up his mind.
"You want this that bad? Go for it. But you're going alone Tweekers. Call me when you get your shit together." That was the last conversation we had as a couple.
It was just me and my guitar against the world, not one soul believed in me. At times I didn't even think I believed in myself.
There were days when I was just about ready to give it all up. I wanted so badly to ask my parents to rehire me. Beg Craig to take me back, and go back to how things use to be. Not life as a struggling artist whose job at Blockbusters barely pays the bills.
I didn't though; I had some kind of spark inside of me. This spark refused to let me give up. It was like voice telling me 'Don't give up Tweek. Show everybody how wrong they are about you!'
"You can do this, I know you can." I would tell myself then it happend. A talent scout discovered me playing in a bar one night. I was on a plane to Los Angeles that same week.
That was two years ago and I haven't looked back at that shitty life since, but I've never forgotten. Craig got a hold of me a few weeks ago.
"How have you been? By the way your new single is great."
"Oh you know. Busy, busy, busy and thanks."
"Hey Tweek, look I'm in the area on business and I was really hoping we could do lunch." The voice on the other line said.
Unfortunately for him I think I'm booked until about this time next year. See if he was the supportive boyfriend he should have been those years ago I could have made time. Maybe if he had just once said to me 'Go for your dreams Baby, I want you happy.'
"Sorry Craig, I've things got so many things to do. Maybe next time."
"I just wanna see you again, I've been missing you." Oh I'm sure he has been who wouldn't miss the famous ex boyfriend? "I haven't heard from you in so long."
"Oh well you can always turn on the radio. I'm all over it." I laugh and hit the end button.
I really hope he does turn on his radio; that's the only way he's going to hear from me. I think I'm pretty good example of how life can turn around in an instant. From rags to riches, yeah life is funny like that.
A/N: Inspired by uh more country music. Dear God, I really need to stop listening to that station! It's my guilty pleasure though, more than you wanted to know! Anyway I hope you enjoyed it!
