The Den beckons, calls..and I answer. Slowly, I make my way home. I stop, only once, just before I enter and say a prayer...then the door opens and I slip inside. Into the womb of my home. Into peace, solitude...bliss.
Good night Lit....
It isn't the first time. I doubt it will be the last. Things come and go. People do, too. It is what is. I have been saying that for so long that it has become a mantra, a hedge against the darkness. It is what is.
Sometimes, I believe that I do not really know the people I surround myself with. I do not understand them. Most people live in a world of gray. I do not. On line friendships are only a semblance of what you think they are. Trust is neither given nor received, but earned and once broken, damnably hard to get back.
Most people do not see things as right or wrong, they only see what is correct. I can only see in black or white. It is either right or wrong. I do not want to see in grays. I like my either/or way of being. For those who think I am immature, someone who doesn't care for how others perceive me? Maybe they are right. I don't care. I don't want to care. Things are either right or wrong. Not right for me and wrong for you...just right or wrong.
There is no justice in the world. There is no real compassion. Only pity and the need to be seen as either strong or weak. I am neither. I am ME. Just me. And it is enough. It is what is.
These thoughts are not new, not really. I have known since I was much younger that the way I see the world and the way other people see things do not mesh. I keep trying, looking for people who get me, who understand. I think they do not exist. I think that those things that make me sure of myself also make me hard to like, to want to know, to understand. I think that the world has no place for someone who only sees in black or white, never gray.
It becomes very lonely. Heart wrenching, actually. So, I keep searching. Hoping, that one day, I will stumble upon someone who gets the need for utter black and utter white. Who sees why the shades of gray hide lies. Who sees why a compassionate personality isn't what is always needful. Being a brutal bitch? It isn't fun, it isn't endearing and I won't make any friends. But I am true to my Gods and Goddesses and true to myself and I feel no remorse.
The world is gray, not black or white. I am an anachronism who does NOT want to fit. I just want to have a handful of people who get it and are not ashamed to say they get it out loud.
Things I know as truth~
Anything you do while drinking is something you wanted to do. I don't buy that bullshit about "I couldn't stop myself...." BULLSHIT! Drink lowers your inhibitions but if a person wasn't thinking on it to begin with, they wouldn't act on it, drunk or sober.
If you are a slut while you are drinking, it's because you wanted to be one while sober. Case closed.
Love is always the basic excuse for doing a wrong thing. Love and hurt. But honestly, if you love someone, truly? With everything inside of you? Why would you twist love into giving you the excuse to do something harmful? That isn't love, then. Not really. That is obsession.
A brutal truth is far better than a well told lie. Always. The truth is always better. In every situation, at every juncture, in any season. I am pagan and I know that words have power. Why give a lie the power?

The time I spend here becomes less and less fun. It becomes something to take up time while my real life is on hold. It is a place holder for my imagination, a way for me to reach out to those who write with the same verve' as myself. Who enjoy allowing their imaginations to roam.
This used to feel like home to me. Look at my post count. This place used to feel safe. It no longer is. I blame myself for that. I should have remembered the most important lesson of all~never trust those you can not look in the eye. What they type and what they mean may not match...and you will never, ever know.
