Shonda's gripe...
by Charlie MorganI should be disappointed in myself, but I am not.
Love hurts. Marriage does not last. Soulmates do not exist.
Friendships never really are 100% true. Family turns against itself.
People are cruel. Society just doesn't care a hoot. Why? Because
we are a stubborn, selfish, hurtful people. We care for no one
but ourselves and we TAKE TAKE TAKE until all the other people
are empty.
Nothing left to give. And then that person
who once had hope turns into the poison that it loathes.
Battle over.
Checkmate.
Nuff said.

| Posted by Maude Curtis on 05/13/10 at 05:04 PM Sorry, but I can't agree that soulmates don't exist. Fred and I are soulmates, best friends 100%, although it took us 46 years to realize it. My family has stood by me rhough the hardest of times and we are all stronger for it. I feel sorry for the original author of this piece as she obvisely has had an unhappy life. |
| Posted by Shonda Chrissonberry on 05/14/10 at 11:05 PM Chaz!!! Of course I don't mind...but you left off the first part and that part is pretty important...here goes:"I have allowed adaptation to enter my life in a -NEG manner. I realize that it's human nature to let others down. I'm apathetic to it all."
This actually had to do with a mutual friend of me and a girlfriend...and this mutual friend really was a jerk to us both. His actions hurt her and thinking about it, it should have hurt me too, but it didn't. I mean...not at all. It pissed me off that he hurt her the way he did. But that was that. His actions toward me were of no consequence.
Then I realized that I've created this wonderful defense mechanism called apathy. Which...really is not so wonderful. I should be disappointed that I have allowed events in my life to shape me this way, after all..it is I who allowed it to shape me. Even though I was not in control of these events, the outcome was mine and mine alone. I expect it now. The distrust. The negative. The hurt. The let down. And that should bother me..but it doesn't and I haven't the strength to even fight it anymore. As if it would make a diff anyway. Like I said ~ it is human nature to let others down. Ima just goin with the flow now.
Didn't mean for that little ditty to turn into this, but I am kinda glad it did.
Love you Chaz!!! *hugs from far away* |
