Can I see clerly now?
The rain will never be gone.
In many ways, I have become accustomed to many things. Who I am (to a certain extent), what has happened to me in the past (yes, I can say that honestly), my own choices even. But, the one thing I can't accept is my station in life. It's too hard to swallow.... Especially because of what I sat and listened to today.
You all know where I stand. I think I've made that pretty obvious at this juncture. But, to hear someone at the age of 24 saying exactly where I'm at at the age of nearly 31? Not acceptable! Thus why, in the matter of overhearing said conversation, I needed to interject my 2 cents worth.
-Do not hold yourself unacceptable because of someone that was a major part of your life a scant year earlier.
-Don't restrict other people access to who you are because of previous listed reason.
-You are never too old to find what you want.
-Don't wear blinders looking for someone you think is ideal based in comparison only by the person that made you feel the best (even if they were jerks. You could be surprised.).
I imparted all this advice from the sidelines at work today because I just happened to overhear a conversation that was happening near me.
Do I practice what I preach? Not necessarily. I know what I want in life. Sadly, those few that fit the bill are taken. My own loss for my own actions and my role that I will never forsake. I had it once. I lost it. I accept that. The search continues and always will. The others that still like to play games, don't know what they want, screw around, be completely psycho to the point of stalking, etc. Have a great and wonderful life. I no longer have the time nor patience for it. I admit to being a catch, but I am extremely picky towards the lure that you throw at me. If I find it not worth my time or attention, I won't even bother setting the hook. Deal with it.
Sorry... Tangent.
I am so tired of being the one to impart words of wisdom where needed, but on a subconscious level, I find myself still playing that part. Even when I'm conscious of it I still follow through on instinct. I guess I just don't want people following my path of destruction. In the long run it's good. Why? Because the world will end at the hands of idiots and stupid people. That is my honest belief. Tool said it best when they said: "Followed by millions of dumb-founded dipshits."
That is my belief and I will stick to it.
