Don't Get it Twisted

 

Hey Lovies. I apologize for the late entry, but tonight, my heart weighs a little heavy. Life has taught me, over and over... a lesson, I still falter over. People who say they are your friends, a lot of the time, are strangers (or enemies), in disguise.

I find it ironic that I posted about this recently... A FRIEND OF MY ENEMY, IS NOT MY FRIEND!!!

Today, was a bitter pill to swallow... or the irony in that sentence! It's amazing how years can taint your vision. I'd say "rose-coloured glasses", but that is sooooo yesterday.(You can probably HEAR my eyes rolling from wherever you are). 

Things that have transpired in the last couple weeks just reaffirms WHY I am so selective as to who sits at my table, compared to those who get to clear the scraps!!! I DO have to admit, I'm getting tired of waiting for people to expose themselves and their agendas. Wouldn't life be soooooo much easier if everyone came with a 30-second trailer about themselves??? It would save so much bullshit and time. 

Unfortunately  for me, people's true colours sometimes don't emerge until decades later. I truly find it amazing how, more often than not, people who have been in your life for a very short period of time, seem to be more loyal, and have your best interests at heart compared to the age-old friends.

I think I'm just going to trust my bubble (pod), and the two peas that fit perfectly together in there.  Before I sign off though, I am openly admitting that saying goodbye to long-time friendships is like mourning a death... the pain and struggle are real!!! There's nothing happy about this, but it's positively necessary.

I hope this made sense to someone. Stay safe. Stay cool. Be well. Be blessed. Most of all, Be LOVED!!!

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...

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...

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...
