Do you look at yourself as being a negative person?
Or are you simply UP all the time, pretending to be forever on Cloud 9?
I don't care who you are, life is NOT always unicorns and rainbows.
Sometimes it can deal you a load if you know what I mean,
and it's nice to have at least one friend who will listen.
One who will not tell you to stop being negative
and then walk away from you while you are speaking to them.
There are times that we all NEED that friend.
We need them very much, only to listen.
IF you are someone who only wants to hear the positives and not really know what is going on in a person's life and only wants the unicorns and rainbows then
you my dear friend are not a friend at all.
I'm pretty positive, but I do not live on a cloud, and I'll get off yours in a heartbeat if you
can't listen when things go wrong in my world.
Life is a delicate balance sometimes and we all need that friendship shoulder now and then,
and it's when times get tough that we truly find out who are friends are.
Sometimes it's easier just to say' fuck you' and walk away when you need a warm shoulder but are instead cold shouldered.
People purport to be all sorts of things.

I guess you could say we all, each and every one of us, has our own Cloud 9, and sometimes clouds bump together,
sometimes they roll into one, melding and becoming part of another cloud,
but I am finding that my cloud floats in that big sky alone.

Sometimes I dwell in the dumps, wallowing in my own anger and disappointment, but it rarely lasts for long. The happiest of happies has to have low lows for contrast ... otherwise, how would we know how awesome it IS on Cloud 9?
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you're having a tough time. The cloud thing is a really nice metaphor, though.
ReplyDeleteI'm often let down by those around me. I think my husband and daughter about all that I can truly, TRULY count on to be there for me all of the time. So, I just find myself not sharing anymore. BUT....for those who have abandoned me, I stay on the surface with them now as well--so this leads to me just disconnecting on a lot of levels. Oh, we can have fun and stuff, but if you bail on me for the big stuff, then that's as far as we go. You use me, I use you. Isn't that sad?
ReplyDeleteTough subject for me this week. My daughter must have had the same thing--she sent me this text "I hate everybody. Except you."
Hope today is a better day for you, friend. You certainly made my week with that photo you sent!
I guess the only people I really share with on that level are you and Erik. I strive to be a pretty positive person with a good outlook, but of course we all have highs and lows with some lasting longer than others. I hope this is just a discussion and nobody walked away from you like that. xo
