Reality Check!

I'd like to think that I can live this life without any input from the rest of the world, but lately,  it hasn't seemed to be working that way. In the past few months, I've found that, when I least expect or deserve it, some people will step up and provide exactly what I need at a particular moment in time. Recently, I have been gifted with everything from help with a really stupid problem to a friendship that I 'm going to cherish forever. I find myself asking "why" a lot, because I still tend to be suspicious, and don't always feel like I've earned something, but I'm starting to find that sometimes, things, and people for that matter, really are what they appear to be, without any hidden cost or agenda. So, I guess this is my way of saying thank you to some people....and I think you all know who you are....

Now, this doesn't mean that I'm turning into a sunshine bright, "the world is all wonderful", "I love everyone" kind of person. There is no danger of changing the name of the blog. I still see the world from the Dark Side....

Walking in a Minefield....

Honestly, some days it really isn't worth chewing through the restraints....
Once again, I'm reminded why I'm not a people person. Just when I think I've found some solid footing, the earth shifts under me again and the universe brutally schools me one more time on the ways of the world.......
It's like trying to navigate a minefield without a map....you know it's just a matter of time. If you're lucky, it'll kill you outright - if not, the best you can do is gather up the pieces and find a safe place to regroup.

So, I'm going to hide out here in the dark side for a while, reassess my view of the world and see how things resonate...in between banging my head on the wall.


.....from the Dark Side.....
