Oh me oh my... The Collective
Well, well... I may have opened up a can of worms. My dear sweet cousin sent an email about my Father's 91st birthday party and I responded with a caustic comment about families and their pretentious bullshit. Then I told them they owed me and Lana an apology from their Mother's birthday party.
My dear sweet niece, bless her heart, responded immediately with a WHEN HELL FREEZES OVER. When I thanked her and told her I was praying they all responded likewise, she told me to get over myself. I wonder what she meant by that? Did she mean I thought myself overly important and wasn't worth the time of day? Well if she did, this is true; I'm beginning to value the hell out of me and I am worth more than the time of day and then some. I took care of that little girl when her mother had better things to do. She doesn't know that. Today, it doesn't matter.
I really don't want an apology from them because it would require having a relationship with them. It took her response to remind me that I don't particularly care for cruel, abusive, mean-spirited, full of hate, deceitful, cunning, manipulative, blatant, self-serving, god-fearing liars. I don't need that kind of shit in my life. Not today.
So to Ayesh, I say thanks. Thank you so much for the reminder. I'm still waiting for the rest of the shit to hit the fan. They relish getting the last word, so I wonder who'll be next. Then again, maybe I'll luck up and they'll ignore me.
How cool would that be, huh?
