Commentary

Lissie's in a mood. Misplaced blame is not a thing she gets on with, nosiree. It's funny when Lis is the one who wants to smack some sense into people.


Another thing: sometimes fellow bloggers use words and I have to wonder if they really know what that word means. Like, for instance, "rules." Rule are things that always apply. Things that are going to be true when faced with the test of time and will always be true. Save for a few choice exceptions. Rules are also based in fact. Scientific observation made by multiple unbiased parties willing to change their perspective should science deign it appropriate, not just personal observation. These are almost as high as laws, which have no exceptions whatsoever.


Anyway.


The point is, I guess, everyone makes their own path and it's not guaranteed to lead them anywhere specific. The human life is not a thing that can be put so narrowly along expectation row. In sum, I will not let my life be led by silliness you all think is fact.


I won't let my child be led along on her path of life by stupidity or the expectations you've all built of us.


You're letting the fear you've all built up as a result of this thing rule you from a to z and you've all forgotten how to live. How to love. How to be human. Well, not all of you, I'm sorry if I implied things that would make you uncomfortable in advance.


Try not to forget how to be human. I know it's hard sometimes, especially when you're coping with fear so shoddily that you've got snot and spit and all sorts of other nastiness seeping from you. But you have to try anyway. Because otherwise you're going to lose yourself in the fight, and then you'll lose sight of your motive, and why are you even fighting if you don't know what you're fighting for anyway?


And now I'm going to go back to driving and letting Kailin and Lis rule the blog.


Also, morning sickness seriously sucks.

  1. Thanks, Tia. I... I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks so.

  4. Well it took me way longer then I would've liked but I'm able to have the time to comment around to others again now.

    Been a while, glad to hear you and Lis are holding up okay. And from what I hear, you're going to make a great mother.

    Nice to see you're taking care of that Kailin girl too, that's really great of you both.

    I also agree with you, love is a human emotion and we don't want to lose our humanity while dealing with all this crap.

    So why would any of us give that up too?

    1. If we give certain things up, it's sort of like giving ground. Maybe it's iffy to think that one can be overly defiant against our situation, but it's worth it sometimes.

      And Kailin is interesting. Zie's settling in reasonably. As it goes.

    1. No, just a birdbrain.

      Sorry, but honestly, we do get enough dumb attempts at being patronizing from our personal pain in the rear. If it wasn't meant that way, I do apologize, but it's so easy to assume that it is, even if I try not to assume much of anything.

    2. Wasn't being patronizing but I could see where you might have gotten that.

    3. It happens a lot. Sorry. New person commenting, it's not a hard mistake to make.

      Sheppy-darling's all the patronizing anyone needs, believe me.
