Alienating Friends
Well, looks like that's the subject for the day. Not even sure why I'm doing it... yet. But I got an accusatory email attacking me for something I said. And I just don't know what I said. Ah well.
You really can't please everyone every time. So maybe that should be the more accurate story to tell. I wish I could.
I remember a few years back I was very sensitve to others. I didn't say exactly what I meant, because I was afraid I'd catch some backlash. Finally, I decided. This poetry and art... I'm allowed to express my thoughts. And man, before begin to believe it, I am NOT perfect. I'm just as pathetic as the next person. If not, more so.
Andrew and I had a discussion a month ago about how we perceived things. I realized then that I am way too selfish. I think of myself first. It's some sort of self-preservation partially ignited by the fact that my last long-term relationship I didn't think about myself much at all. The good and the bad.
So here goes: I am selfish. I am vain about my hair. I have poor self-control. I am arrogant. I am a hypocrit. I am foolish and impulsive. I'm a pretty pathetic person.
All I can say to those who see something they don't expect to see in me. I'm sorry it upsets you, but I'm only human.
(And I suspect and expect to be belittled a lot in the coming days. I guess this is where you find out who are your real friends...? Maybe... Maybe not.)
