There wa...They don't make me feel bad anymore. There was a time when they did, but now I see things differently. <br />Like with porch furniture. You're supposed to pay all this money to make your outdoors look/feel like indoors. You get the "chat set". But, drive around, and tell me how many high falootin' respectible kinda folk you actually SEE USING any of it!! Almost NEVER. <br />And I can hear it in my head, the breathless exasperation of "Well! You don't ACTUALLY go out there!!"<br />Like we all fantasize about killing our bosses or something like that, but you don't ACTUALLY DO IT!!<br />So, I relish my role as the loser. Because we actually USE our lives (and chat sets!). Are we sweaty sometimes? Yes, because it is 90 fucking degrees out and we are *GASP!!!* OUTSIDE!!!<br />We are the shocking folk you see in the margins, warming our bare ankles by the fire. (medieval art referene)<br />I LOVE EVERY DAMN MINUTE OF IT!!!

We're luckier...we moved far away from our family, and then I went a step further than you and got banned by a good portion of them. So never get the drop-ins. That's good. Don't allow them to make you feel bad, only you could do that.Elena DeRosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11070488432007287857noreply@blogger.com
