In Life Again 1/20/2006 5:31:49 PM
Ok, ok, ok... I can finally say that I've given in to the cliches... I've got back out there, I've got on the horse again, I've joined the world of the living and any other little one liner you can use on someone who's allowed themselves to become a shut-in to the world.
I must say that I'm quite a reluctant person, especially after what I've been through in 2005. It's hard for me to talk to people. It's hard for me to even let anyone near me again. What's the point?
Well, you'd be proud of me this evening, world... I actually met up with someone this evening and had a live conversation. Not an online chat, not a phone conversation and not made up words in a poem.
It was good to be out among the living again. I probably came across as some weird hick. I'm not as elegant as I write...a little rough around the edges. I've quite a little personality on me :o) ha But regardless, it was good to meet with someone face-to-face.
Someone told me at work today, that I was a true diamond in the rough. He cheered me on to say that I was a wonderful person and had such great qualities that anyone would be lucky to find. He said that I really needed to get out in life to allow myself to be found. Perhaps it was that little bit of advice and cheering on that I received today that made me decide, very spur of the moment, to go out tonight. It's nice when there are some people who notice that I'm here. It's always nice to receive a "hi" from someone at work or for someone to politely hold the door for me at the store. It's nice to know that I exist. Lately, I've felt like nothing more than a ghost...like a cold chill in the room that some could feel and others were oblivious to. Nice to know that this ghost has a reflection at times.
Eh, this probably doesn't make sense, but what is the point of it anyway...this is a blog. I do not really know the point of the blog other than to blurt out what is on my mind and to allow you into my world word by word.
Bare with me world. Let this pendulum keep swinging. For every low point a pendulum has, it has two high points on each side. I guess that means that there will always be more happiness to conteract the sadness in life.
