I got a big distracted. I found some old writings of mine from years and years ago. Interesting stuff. I was so edgy back then. More and more I find myself cycling back to the way I felt during those time periods.


My life is a big puzzle. People think they see the whole picture, but they only have the few pieces I am willing to share. No one has the full picture, not even Kevin. Some of those pieces are just so dark...

What we see online, or really anywhere, are just puzzle pieces. Some think they are so smart, thinking they see the full picture. Really, the only one who does have that picture is the one living it.

And that is ok.

Why do people think they are actually entitled to all the pieces?

I have never understood this. This sense of entitlement.

There was a time when I made a lot of choices in my life that people did not agree with. Others judged me poorly, though their own lives were not perfect. You know what they say, "Point a finger at someone else and four point back at yourself."

I pointed a finger yesterday.

Now, I am staring at those four fingers... remembering... and wanting to hide my ghosts, demons and skeletons. Am I ashamed of them? Perhaps. But moreso, they are MINE. I share then with who I chose to.



So I look back on some of my writings from that dark time period. I am going to post some quotes from others, to remind myself...


"Sin lies only in hurting others unnecessarily. All other "sins" are invented nonsense."

"Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven."

"Great Spirit, Let me not criticize another until I have walked a mile in his moccasins."

"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."
- Dr. Seuss
