So as I sit here and contemplate my recent posts. I see a pattern starting to emerge. Maybe I'm just venting and it's not constructive at all, I hope not. I don't really expect anyone to read my posts and while I share them my hope is that they inspire growth and introspection in those who stumble upon them.
I had a comment made to me recently that an individual thought I was directing my blogs at them and while admittedly my dealings with people in general spark the urge to respond, my thoughts on some topics are purely random as is the name of my blog. This poor individual has a lot of growing yet to do to be a better person, and maybe just maybe this is the little eye opener he needs. My answer to him was this, posed as a question. "why would you assume these posts are about you if you don't see yourself in them?" If that's the case then I am doing what I have set out to do. That is to make you take stock in your actions and look within first before laying blame. I'm close to this individual so I can say this.
There is a very good reason I don't mention names or point fingers. I will use my family as a reference point, but I will not expose individuals in my posts. If they choose to expose themselves then they need to ask why? Do I speak to them in some indirect way with perhaps a new perspective? That's a good thing, we all need a different perspective sometimes.
Some of you may know my ex, and well for those of you who do, will know very well that he will quickly put things in perspective for me, and my only defence, well, I blog. Not necessarily about him directly but he sure gives me lots of material. Don't get me wrong, I'm appreciative, and if anyone has any right to comment on my posts it's him.
If you choose to read between the lines, think long and hard about what I'm saying. If you fit any of the topics in my blog that's your personal interpretation of yourself. I just need to clarify not just for my concerned friend but anyone who may think I'm blogging directly at them. I'm not, I'm just typing it as I see it and if you can't handle the mirror I present then maybe you need it more than you think. Oh and my use of the word "you" is strictly for narrative purposes. I don't mean YOU reading this I mean you in general.
In fact, after speaking to him, just now, look for my next post "Biting Off More Than You Can Chew". Maybe I should start with a disclaimer at the beginning of my posts instead of at the end. Oh well, I guess this is a challenge all bloggers have, walking the tight rope of not bruising someones ego. Of course it's that very ego that thinks this blog is about you. (Hmmm maybe I should write a song about that) LOL I now have Carly Simon's song "You're So Vain" playing in my head. I'm replacing "song" with "blog".
Anyway, a heart felt apology to all those who read my posts and think they are about them. They are about how I feel about the actions of others and how they affect society as a whole. Just be the best person you know how to be and you have nothing to worry about. Unless of course, you like the attention and need my silly posts to be about you, what ever turns your crank, it's no skin off my nose. Gotta love corny sayings hey?
SO, again, with much love, light and no this blog is not about you.
Tammy.
