How Deep Does Your Loyalty Go???

This has been something I have been wanting to touch on for a while now. To start, I am fully aware that everyone has their own view on loyalty and what that word means to them. I can only talk about what the word means to me...

The picture with this blurb is very fitting because I know plenty of people who are loyal to others, and that level of loyalty makes them look stupid. 

The ones who are loyal do NOT get the same level back and that is NOT how it works!!! Loyalty. Respect. Honour. Love. Trust. They all are connected... DEEPLY!!!

Here's a question I have for you...

I am a freethinker, and I tend to keep an open-mind when it comes to meeting new people. Sometimes, others will warn me, or tell me things about the person I am meeting; either good or bad. I like to reserve judgment and decide for myself if they are good people or not. Everyone has a different view on things, so what one person may think is terrible, another may find acceptable because they are unbiased on the situation or circumstance. You know what I mean???

Don't worry there is a method to my madness...

There is always an exception to every rule though. Mine is pretty simple; like I said, I stay open minded and meet the person, make my own judgment after... I will do that with everyone, unless it comes from my best friend. If they have an issue with someone... I have an issue with that someone. No questions asked. My loyalty to my best friend has no ends, no limits... and honestly, it shouldn't. 

If you and your best friend have rocked it out for a very long time, and are loyal (to a fault) to each other, then you obviously trust each other with your lives and would trust their judgment above anyone's, no?

Hell, sometimes I trust their judgment over my own FFS! Maybe being THAT loyal to someone is not a good thing, and not the norm of society; but I don't see this ever changing, I am a ride or die kind of person; and as you have read a few times already, there is absolutely one person above all others that I'd catch a bullet for... it's really that simple.

I'm just curious if any of you have that kind of relationship in your life? What is your definition of loyalty?? To what extent do you keep your loyalty??? Is there any limit to it, and where do you draw the line in the sand???

Stay safe. Stay warm/cool. Be well. Be blessed. Most of all, Be loved!!!

It's a Hide Under the Covers Kinda Day

Page 14 of 365. Good Afternoon Lovies. I really, really hope your day is going better than mine!!! Sorry, woke up at the asscrack of dawn, as I had a doctor's appointment this morning.  Thankfully it was with my family doctor; appointments with him are fairly painless.  Today, however; things kinda went sideways.  I am usually in and out within 10 mins for these appts, but today? I was there for over 45 minutes. Of course, it didn't help that I was puking maroon blood in the office. I know, I don't share a lot of my medical nor really personal stuff on here, but just so you're aware, this has been happening daily since end of May/beginning of June last year. I am what they call an "anemic blood clotter" which I didn't think was possible, but apparently it runs on the paternal side of my family. Anyways, that was the main focus of my visit after that. My stomach medication is being switched AGAIN, this time I am being set up with an antibiotic (which is cra...

FFS I Matter Too!!!

Good evening lovies. I have been struggling with something that is very close to my heart. I truly do not know where to proceed next. I'm going to try and make a very long story as simple as I can... I was adopted at 5months of age, (well apprehended at 5 months, adopted at 5 years). There is something that adoptees yearn for all their lives... WHY?  I know for me there were many questions and on my 19th birthday it appeared I was going to get those answers when I met the woman who birthed me. Unfortunately, I was sorely mistaken!!! Years went by, and I allowed this woman to have control over certain things that were weighing heavily on my heart, She held the one piece of the puzzle that felt missing from my heart... who my biological father was?!! I, one day decided that I wasn't going to allow another person have that kind of control over me... EVER!!! I left the situation alone. I struggled deeply. I was literally at war with myself. on this topic. In a way, I felt guilty th...

Tis the Season.... Why I Am Proud of Local Tattoo Shop!!!

  Page 307 of 366. Good Afternoon Lovies. I am not sure how long this blurb is going to be; as it seems to be a topic I have been beating to death this past year. I know it is the time of the year where we switch from Halloween/Samhain into Thanksgiving (in the US) to Yule/Christmas season.  I hate pointing out this fact, but people seem to feel like Christmas time is the only time of the year that they should be charitable...  Is it out of guilt that you are donating, or is it because you genuinely feel you should be helping people??? I AM sort of calling you out because this is NOT the only time of the year that the homeless, or the downtrodden need help. I cannot stand that this is around the only time you will see non-stop commercials/ads or billboards that are asking for help with various charities; also the time we see commercials about driving under the influence. WHY IS THAT??? Driving under the influence is a year-long problem... I will not get into details about...
