When everything crashes and burns

Some of the horrors of the past have come back to haunt me, albeit them being in a small way. Feeling insecure and totally helpless isn't exactly how I enjoy feeling and it doesn't really help that I'm also stuck in a situation where all I get is negativity over and over again. I put a smile on my face in the day and then take the mask down at night. How much more demoralizing can this ever get?

There is a fine line between being honest and not saying anything at all. At the end of the day, it all boils down to how much you really treasure the friendship or relationship between you and the person in question. Sometimes we get too caught up with imagining the worst that we forget that there's still so much more life to live. Life doesn't just stop when one aspect of our lives stop or gives up on us. Life moves on. People move on and if you don't move on like the rest of the world, then you'll just be left behind to try and catch up. Try imagining catching up with your next generation. Practically impossible.

Over the years of my life, coupled with my personal experiences, I have admittedly become a much more mellow person as compared to a few years ago. I often kid around and say it's probably coz I'm old but the truth of the matter is, it's coz I've seen enough of the ugliness of humankind that I'm choosing to take a back seat and watch the show now instead of being a part of it. I'm not old. I'm just tired. Sweating the small stuff makes me nervous and irritated coz there are so many bigger issues on hand to solve. I don't like wasting myt time making people feel better if the situation can be handled single handedly by whoever is involved. I don't like getting involved in lame situations where I have to be the sweet ass one and sayang the 'poor dear' who feels he/she is in dire circumstances which probably won't even cost the person an eyelash. No. After all that I've been through, I have become someone who tells it straight. No bullshit coz there's no need to. We all need to learn and grow from our experiences and not wallow in self pity and die there just coz you think your life is over becoz of one small little issue. Doesn't work that way. I just cannot handle whiny people.
