stale
like frying grease odor that has lingered longer than one week past two fresh the arguments were not even boring they smelled of stale beyond any best sell date if there even was one old moldy bread dead
I wanted you to know that I read the post you wrote elsewhere and one of those people was the source of my being informed that spiteful people were trying to drive me out. Ahhh, but I may be jumping to conclusions as to whom you meant since she said that to me. Either way, I'm going to be doing the bulk of my blogging here without disclosing this to anyone there.
Neither of the two I wrote about have anyone's best interests in mind. If either told you anything be suspect of what came from them. That is all. Trust your own gut instincts Sherry because you have solid instincts from all I have read from you over a couple of years now.
Some people don't understand that I can like what a person writes, but that doesn't mean the person themselves is someone I would care to befriend in any face to face way. For some, that makes me untrustworthy which is fine in most cases. I'd just rather enjoy what looks back at me from my mirror and in order to do that I have to behave according to my standards, not those that others try to impress upon me. My instinct in this case was to tell you you weren't alone.
A lot of people do not understand that about me Sherry. I read and if something I read prompts a response I may or may not respond but my response does not depend upon WHO it is that authored the write.
I know myself well enough to know my character and what I have or have not done and what type of attitude and motivation is behind anything I have done. Few people bother to ASK me about those attitudes and motivations. Those very few who have asked are sincerely working on friendships with me.
Some people think I am weak because of my values and my core purpose and when I speak up firmly and with conviction those 'some people' do not like that but I do not need others to like me and my convictions. I need me to like y convictions so I can live with myself 24/7.
