reversing my reality. this is a feedback loving blogger, so please leave comments anonymously or as out-and-proud as ellen degeneres, i won't judge you.
my reality has been filled with some shi**y things. there have been amazingly wonderful times don't get me wrong, but more often than not i find myself wandering back to all of the things i wish i could forget.
i don't want to end up like that crazy person we all know that has so much anger towards the people on the block that they don't recognize the obvious beauty of a new flower pushing its face toward the enveloping warmth of the sun--not to get too specific or anything.
i'm trying to write my way out of negativity. that blasted negativity has flown through my veins long enough, i'm turning over a new leaf, and finding something other than nature to use in my analogies.
TODAY'S TOPIC?
i am realizing that its a very basic trust that i don't have.
being on time is a simple act of courtesy. i have complete trust in everyone that they will never be on time.
oh the trust-in-humanity i lack.
i like to think of myself as a very punctual person. i am where i say i'll, be when i say i'll be there. if not, i like to send a text message saying it's taking longer. note: i am not perfect, i don't do this all the time, i just like to think i do.
here we bring in the benefit of the doubt; maybe there are car problems, maybe her phone died, maybe the address was faulty, etc...
or maybe this is just how the person is. i don't trust that my time is as important as you think yours is.
the good ol' golden rule once said treat others as you wish to be treated.
does this mean i have cosmic permission to be a bitch?

ha! my word verification was "gonso" but it just disappeared and was replaced. i think you have cosmic permission to be whoever you want to be. don't put your trust in people, they let you down.
So, I am a habitually late person. I've been much better lately. My mission was good for that, and other things have been, too. A wife for example.
So, to me, being late to a social thing is much better than being early. If someone is at my house 10 minutes late, unless we're on a time crunch, (like with tickets to see a show), no sweat. If someone's 10 minutes early, however? Maybe I'm not done sweeping the floor, or making food. I think that lateness is excusable based on the context of the situation.
That, and you should always be nice to people. :) Just throwing that one out there.
