Negativity...
I was admonishing someone recently for being too negative. I told him that he can't truly enjoy life while he's holding onto anger and bad feelings.
I hope I'll soon able to take my own advice. At the moment, I'm scoffing at myself.
You pompous asshole!
Where do you get off giving other people advice??
People I really care about have been disappointing me over the past few days. People I like and respect have been essentially thumbing their noses at me. It makes me wonder:
- Do I give people too much credit??
- Do I tend to be overly positive...until proven wrong? At which time - NOW for example - I practically drown in my negativity?
- Do I have some subconscious desire to have people hurt me? Do I like feeling broken-hearted? (I sure don't SEEM to be enjoying this feeling!)

First of all, there is no such thing as "too positive." Things just keep getting positiver and positiver. It's like having too much money.
Second of all, don't stop blogging. You're the reason the rest of us do it. We rocket to your site every day--more often than goo through a goose--then pant like puppy dogs for your comments on ours. It's called 'blusting.' (Blogging and lusting at the same time.)
Third, my neighbor just gave me a half gallon of Black Velvet Canadian Whiskey. Wanna share?

Paul: If you lived around the block, I'd already be there. As it is, I'll just be downing this glass...and a few more glasses...of wine!
I think I will just try to concentrate (HA!) on doing some research for that freelance article. I'm supposed to write about aroma therapy and I don't know squat about it. Maybe I'll learn something. Sniff and heal! Ahhh...

First of all, I'm glad there's not a good cliff around.
Secondly, I can't say it better than Paul did in his second paragraph.
Thirdly, take a couple days off if you need to. Those of us who love you and care for you will always be here.

First of all, having a positive attitude is a good thing. Second of all, having a negative attitude after something upsetting is completely, totally normal. Third of all, although I understand why you want to limit your posting on this topic and related ones on the blog, remember you can always email me 50 times a day and I'll do my darndest to keep up! Haha! My therapist told me that, on the whole, women need to talk and talk in order to feel better, but men like to go in a corner and sort it out on their own. So, talk away!

Some people have a purpose in life; some people are a waste of sperm. You have a purpose. You're a great person. You've listened to me bitch and moan about similar situations way too many times, and you never once told me to shut up. Being positive is a wonderful thing. Giving people too much credit can bite you on the ass, but that's life. (And we know how hard life bites!) Things have to get better...if not, I'd be more than happy to ride off the cliff with you :)
