Opinions...everyone's got one

I am just boggled at the way people treat others when someone expresses an opinion. Seriously? Everyone has an opinion. Kinda like a an ass. EVERYONE HAS ONE!!! Today I was reading something about preparing for the cruise and not contracting a cold, flu or some other virus. A doctor had suggested to her that she might want to start taking Emergen-C and get her body virus shield up. Not a bad idea since there are people on a ship from the world over. I have no idea what kind of germies they have in Europe just as the europeans don't know what kind of germies are here in the states. Why not be as prepared as possible? Duh.

Good grief!!! The onslaught that proceeded from just one statement was insane. "Use hand sanitizers. Don't use hand sanitizers. Use soap and water. Don't take that much vitamin C. Do take that much vitamin C. That's not healthy. Not a good idea. You can get sick from that much vitamin C. My family takes vitamin C all of the time. Hand sanitizers aren't good to use." Are you bloody well kidding me??? Hello!!! Every single human body on this big round blue ball has cells within us that are completely totally and 100% different than everyone else. Vitamins effect everyone completely different. Did you know that no two people have the same DNA? Well...maybe twins and multiples but I'm getting off track. Medicines don't always work on everyone. They react in different ways. What may work for me may not work for you. Didn't I mention "duh" earlier?

Advice. That is all this person was giving. What her physician suggested. It was a suggestion but it went all psycho crazy. Is vitamin C good for you? Yes. Are hand sanitizers good? Yes. The thing is...ALL WITHIN REASON!!! Holy crow people. Use your melons. That's why God gave it to you. To think with and use reason.

People have opinions and that is all they are. Opinions. No one is telling anyone what to do, what to take and how to act. Take the opinion. Use what works for you and throw the rest out. It's as simple as that. Don't go all armageddon on someone for offering their opinion and advice.

Too much...

 There are days I enjoy living my life.  There are days I thoroughly hate it.  Yesterday, while grocery shopping, I almost had a breakdown.  Standing there in the aisle, I had to fight, with everything in me, to not start crying.   Too much has been hitting me this month and I think I'm at the end of my rope.   Beginning of the month, D's new wife sent me a text telling me to lose his number, email and address because I already had my chance with him. I laughed at the absurdity of everything she said in that text as it sounded like something a teenaged girl would write. I haven't wanted that man in almost 20 years, so, she is either highly jealous of his past and any woman he used to be interested in or is extremely insecure with herself and her relationship.  Regardless of her mental state, I told her I was just catching up on life with him, but I will respect her request and not talk to him again.  I've been told she has been married 4...

2004 - 2023

  Twenty years ago, I was a mess. I was belittled and demeaned to the point where I hated myself and would have done anything to hurt those who hurt me. From family to friends to men. I lashed out, created more drama than was necessary and didn't care who I hurt. As long as they were hurt before they hurt me, I justified my words and actions. If someone DID hurt me? God help them. I held nothing back. I'm not proud of who I was. I am ashamed of who I was. I did things I should have never done, and I cannot take any of it back no matter how desperately I wish I could. Today, in 2023, I am someone completely different than who that woman was in 2004. I'm not the unmedicated mentally ill person anymore. I'm getting healthy not only mentally but physically. I'm more successful than I was told I would ever be. I'm not the loser bitch that I was told I was. I'm a good person with an "I have gone through hell" history. I am a woman who struggles with ea...

People who say they love you...

Shouldn't be the very people who hurt you the most.  For me, the worst damage comes from those who said they loved me and they were the people who destroyed me.  And people wonder why I don't believe in love.
