There comes a time when you give up ... on people. Sounds sad doesn't it ? But it's true. Not all people ... don't get me wrong !! I try to see the good in everyone but at some point you realize that some people just don't want to show their good. They come from a place of selfishness or cruelty. They are intent on cutting everyone down, looking for the bad in everyone, finding fault, laughing at failure and getting pleasure from other's unhappiness. They derive pleasure from it. They measure every thing, weigh it, and judge it. Nothing is good enough. They are not going to change. And you are not going to change them. But being around them can change you. And at that point, I think the best thing you can do is see that. Open your eyes wide. Accept it. And turn your attention to all those people who are coming from a place of kindness and happiness ... (and there are a lot of them, thankfully !!) .... now that's the people you need !!
And they all lived happily ever after !!

I am still mourning the loss of a friend(s) that happened a couple of years ago. The worst part for me is not knowing what the heck I did to be "voted off the island"...
I know they aren't thinking about me, but I can't help thinking about them. It hurt then...and still does now.

Hi there! I seriously have no idea how I stumbled across your blog. I really enjoy reading what you have to say. I am at the year mark of my recent divorce & reading your no-nonesense-approach to life is a welcome break and relief!
