life is too short to cry over stolen iPods

sooo i either lost my iPod or it was stolen. i didn't freak out like i thought i would, i guess because i was able to buy a new one... and did... shamelessly. Even though i have a roof over my head out of family kindness. In my own defense; music is my glue and without it, i'd be toast. Literally, it's up there with food and water. Plus, i bought one at a pawn shop so i don't feel so bad. 160GB for $60 :)
The only thing i'm truly upset about is the fact that it was a gift from muh boyfriend and it weighed heavily in sentimental value.
But, out of a recent debacle, blinded by sheer anger; i deleted the video of his nice words and "i love you more than anything" reminder and blah, blah as a way to move past things that i felt were holding me back in my personal pursuits.
So, the fact that it was a choice to be one less of the video and that i'll never have to face the embarassement of ever being caught with the video; it seems the fact that i lost my iPod (or had it stolen) isn't as servere as it could be.
I can't really recall a time i ever lost my shit over my shit luck. i guess because i'm used to it after 24 years.
My car: broken in to 3 times, stereo stolen each time - didn't freak out, laughed.
When my truck died in the library book drop drive through - laughed at the hilarious death spot and used the book drop as an air vent in the schorching heat.
It just seems that nothing is ever really worth being so upset over. Not when it's replaceable and generally, humor can be found in any situation, you just have to look for it sometimes.
There's nothing that's irreplaceable except for us. We're the only thing that can't be replaced and i've never lost sight of that. I don't know where this calmness comes from but it makes my life so easy and sunny and as long as i have my friends and family and my boyfriend (even when he's being a doucher), i'm happy.
But what makes me most happiest is that i'm me and i wouldn't ever want to be anybody else, ever. :)
End of story.

oh, and a major p.s.!!!
i put harold and maude on my "new" ipod, life is suuuuperb!!!!
