This one may get a little scattered so try to keep up. I have a lot on my mind today. I started the diet today, it actually went better than I expected so I felt good about that. The resolution to stop living in the past has not gone so well today though. For some reason it has been a down kind of day, which always leads me to start thinking back over things so I thought maybe if I write about it it will go away...or at least get better.
I am going to discuss relationships for a while. I personally have really started to lose faith in them. I have been lied to, cheated on, hurt, used and that is just the beginning. It seems that everyone comes with their own brand of tricks. A little piece of advice, if someone says "I will never hurt you" RUN, because brother someone is going to get hurt and it isn't them! If you feel like someone is not telling you the whole truth, chances are they're not! If you hear the words "Its not what you think" or "Its not what it looks like" Believe me it is EXACTLY what you think/it looks like!! And then lastly, if you here the words "Its not you, its me" This is a true statement, but not for the reason the person uttering it thinks. It is true because it is them...THAT WANTS OUT and they are telling you that not to make it easier on you (although they think it is) but to actually make it easier on them. I don't think there is one honest person left in this world who is single. All the honest/decent ones are married or dating someone. So I have taken a sabbatical from the world of relationships.
Now on to something else. One of my long-time co-workers and friends had her last day today. I have worked with her for 8 years. We have sat side by side that whole time, except for a couple of years when they moved me into another office. She will be missed. She kept me laughing and showed me so much. It was hard to see her go. I do not know how we will fill this empty spot in our office. She has, however, moved on to bigger and better things and she is finally pursuing her dream (I am still chasing my dream).
On a sad note, a very dear friend of mine lost her mother yesterday and I feel for her so much. She is a sweet, wonderful person and I know she is going through a very rough time. My thoughts and prayers are with her tonight.
Still reading the same book, although I picked up a new mystery over the weekend, I will have to share more about it once I start it.
I would now like to talk about something that is very near and dear to me. There are many people who suffer from some form of Bi-Polar disorder (Manic Depression). It is a horrible disorder that when left untreated can wreak havoc on your life and those around you. I try to mention this as often as I can as it is a cause I support wholeheartedly. If you know someone with this or you have it, you know exactly where I am coming from. It colors your whole way of thinking, acting, functioning etc. It is not that those who suffer from it are lazy, crazy, useless, or can snap out of it at will. It is a disease exactly like someone with diabetes or epilepsy. No one would dare tell these people to snap out of it or to get over themselves, but people with mental disorders are expected to do that on a daily basis. Please, if you know someone with BPD or any mental problem for that matter be kind and understanding to them, they are usually doing their best. Now if they refuse to see someone about it or take their medication, by all means slap them, hog-tie them and get them to their doctor! I am kidding, please don't do that, but you should urge them to do those things if at all possible.
Now on a funnier note, I was driving home on Thursday and I noticed a Christmas tree someone was obviously taking to the dump, right in the middle of Fernwood-Glendale road right in front of Jesse Boyd Elem. and at first I thought "Well that is odd" then I thought, "What idiot left that there? You have to realize when something that big flies out of your car!!" and then I want to know who took the time to stop, get out of their car and push it ever so neatly to the median??? Who are these people and where do they come from??
Anyway, I have rambled enough for tonight. Hope everyone makes it through the first week back at work!
