this song has been on my heart for a while now…
…and as I have come to terms with the fact that:
- some unknown percentage of our modern day adult population graduate from middle school social ideals
- another unknown percentage leave the middle school ideals behind when they graduate high school, and
- there are still those who perpetuate the middle school social status rules and dysfunction of the armpit of their existence through all of their adult years. They will continue to live in this “armpit of existence” for eternity. These people live in misery and try to suck us all into their abusive bubbles.
This won’t ever go away. You will experience it your entire life. But one must learn how to separate themselves from these individuals or they will tear up your sense of self and your grounded view of normal ADULT behavior.
I recently met a man that has an extremely convoluted sense of self-importance. His narcissistic nature was difficult to discern at first sight as he disguised it as “helpful;” and though I won’t deny he has a skill and some insane execution of his craft… it doesn’t completely camouflage his true colors, as they flare in everyday interaction and casual discourse.
As I reflect upon 2010… and the ideals that lie within the experiences that filled that year, I find that, unfortunately, I seem to attract narcissistic individuals with a convoluted sense of self-importance. Some departed my life of their own accord, others, I pushed away (so to speak), and others lacked the emotional fortitude to engage beyond their own bubble and bellied up thinking that there was an iota of sense to their thoughts or position. These individuals underestimated my intelligence, and that is okay…they are welcome to engage in that challenge…
But… to all of you “normal” people reading… my advice to you… disengage! Remove yourself from the presented situation. Evaluate it. Determine whether or not it is healthy for you to treat others that way, or if their treatment of you is fair. It doesn’t have to be normal. It doesn’t have to be nice. It has to be FAIR to both parties. Choose to disengage and not be a part of that ANYMORE.
It doesn’t have to be a man or woman in a relationship… many people spend their entire life collecting the proverbial hearts. It isn’t fair. It isn’t right. It isn’t moral. But it is real. It happens every single day. I want to live a warm, loving existence. If you have ice in your soul… stay away from me… and so in the words of Forest Gump… “that is all I have to say about that.”
