[If you don’t like feel good blogs don’t read, no barfing allowed!]
Sometimes it’s good to let others have their say. Because you never know what the outcome will be.
Sometimes you might be apprehensive about what is being said, or about what you are saying. So much can be said in the heat of the moment or because we feel so deeply about what we feel or we become over zealous in getting our points across.
I have one way to deal with this, I listen. I read and if I don’t comprehend, I ask. Or sometimes I go away and come back and I re-read again in order to understand.
If you’re the one writing the blog, be my guest, write away, vent, rant, and laugh in mad derision because you can and because you’re amongst friends. Because if you can’t do it here, then what’s the use of being here?
If you can’t allow yourself to be honest and to allow others to see the real you, then what’s the use of doing what we do here?
We would all be liars yes? Of course we would be! We would be such fakers, operating under a façade. How would you be you and me be me if we don’t let each other be?
We have grown into a family of sorts, perhaps a dysfunctional one, but that’s to be expected. It’s difficult to be here and not get involved, really involved in each other’s lives. It’s like having a regular visitor at a coffee shop or a pub or a bar somewhere out there in the real world. It’s like being in an office with the boss, supervisors and co-workers. Sometimes it’s even like being in high school again.
Which ever way you look at it, that’s just how it is here in JUland. We have grown to care about each other, or even dislike one or the other. Isn’t that normal?
There are cliques, the popular ones, the geeks, the queen bees, the jocks and the know it alls (not necessarily a bad thing to be, because these ones keeps us informed); there are those who keep to themselves (too scared perhaps or they just don’t play well with others); there are those like butterflies who flits here, there and everywhere; there are those who just get along with everyone in the crowd; whatever you may be, a hodge podge of people from different spectrum of our planet we all somehow do get along.
We also welcome others who wish to participate and become part of our land as long as they live by the ‘code’ of conduct. I think that’s a wonderful thing.
I’m happy to be here and I’m glad you’re here. Some of you I have become quite fond of and that’s not very hard to do because you allow me into your lives with open arms and for that I say thank you. You allow me to be me, warts and all. You give freely of your affection without reservation, I don’t have to see you to know you, I already do.
Let us just remember to be tolerant of each other, to accept each other’s faults, even when we want to ‘ring’ each other’s necks and perhaps give a slap upside the head to make them see sense. ROFL…..and hopefully after that we can have a good laugh because you allowed me to be me and I you. Even if you go away pouting, hey I’ll be here waiting for your excuse….OK…OK…or you mine….
I’m an optimist, one of those happy people, did you expect anything less?
Hey Sabrina, you’ve coined the phrase which will be used over and over and over and over again…[dodges ball thrown at head, tippy-toes away ever so lightly] as always Whip you’re ahead of the game.
Yes, I might show my dark side now and again. How else would I be me or you be you?
