Generalizations are Death to ALL things...


IRONY is my world. I grew up with a grandmother and aunt with the greatest sense of ironic, sarcastic, twisted humor (in my opinion). I laugh at things that to the majority of the population would not necessarily laugh at. My brain works differently than most, so I embrace it. I love seeing plot twists in life. I don't relish or find humor in pain, but I have a deep respect for it. I don't diminish anyone's journey and how they deal with their hurts, but I also don't ever want to walk in someone's shoes. I can still sympathize at the least. I can have compassion or I can take my shoes and walk away. Such is the way of relationships in my life.

Generalizations come in many forms. Skin color, a place a person lives relatively to the  north or south side of town, in an argument, politics, religion, but mostly in IGNORANCE.
Though generalizations may not bring death to ALL things, they do require intense forgiveness. Words to avoid: always, never, every...etc. I think you get the idea.

Pseudonym

I began this blog with the hope to help just one person. I began as myself. The moment I got the "I don't understand why you do what YOU do." BS, I began to hide again. Walls came UP...

Being True to Myself


Silence doesn't mean that all things are good in one's life. I thought I was just being a private person, but it was shame. For a period of time I shut myself away.

Am I a lunatic? Welcome to my Bi-Polar World!



    The purpose of this BLOG is not to embarrass myself or others in my life. I will not call anyone out or spread gossip. This is my journey.  It is NOT a justification for idiotic and foolish decisions that I have made in my past.
