"Everyone you know is trying to smooth it over, trying to find a way to make the hurt go away" - Pink
I know my friends and family have the best of intentions; what I am going through is unfamiliar territory for most of us and they are doing what they believe is the best for me. I appreciate that. I am flattered and floored by it. I am astounded at the generousity and consideration I have received in the last year.
I am also amazed at how for off the mark some people are. I have had many occasions where I have thought "What the fuck!?". Yesterday I had one of those moments and it was mammoth. I won't go into details but, suffice to say, I am going to be much firmer with ground rules in the future. Some things are an inconvenience; others are a challenge and then there are those that are downright unacceptable.
Some things in life you just don't learn unless you experience them first hand. Onward and upwards!
