telling someone else's stories
It recently came to light that someone that I have known for a very long time has been telling stories that aren't her's to tell.
What she told to whom is of no consequense really, and didn't impact my relationship with the person that listened to the tale - which is good.
The real problem is that the story wasn't hers to tell. It was mine.
It's a shame, the teller has been in my life for several years, and who knows what other stories of mine she will decide to tell... not that I have a dark and sordid past, but there are certainly things that have happened in my life that can easily be misconstrued, and frankly I don't need the damn drama.
I'm not even sure what I hope to accomplish by posting this... I certainly am not trying to confront the teller on LJ, and I'm not trying to out her as someone not to be trusted - it wasn't even something that was told to her in confidence - it was just a period of time in my life, that should have been left in the past.
I guess I'm just posting this to make a public annoucement to all that I have enough shit in my life to keep me busy - I don't need to go around cleaning up messes that other's create for me by telling stories that aren't theirs to tell.
comments are screened, because I'm really not calling anyone out on this.
