Abhorrent Behavior
And It's Affects On Our Psyche
Dear Hate,
Or do you prefer Mr. Grumbles, Grouch potato or annoyed as shitmeister?
I know, I know, you hate all the cheery "dear" crap. In fact, I'm sure you hate that I am writing to you at all. You'll probably hate the size of the text or hate the choice of font. You probably even hate that it's typed and not handwritten.
Dude, would you just chill out.
The reason I am writing, is to encourage you to ease up a bit on the attitude. It affects everyone, and before you know it, we are all in crabby moods.
Irritable and fickle, running late and changing 4 times, getting in the car, still hating our outfits. So much frickin' static in the air, that we're having an incredibly, terrible hair day, and if it's not one shoe missing, it's the stinking car keys. Now we're frazzled, rushing to work griping at the cars around us, snippy with the poor girl in the drive-thru window and yelling at the radio weatherman for once again, providing inaccurate information, aka, false advertisement, leaving us standing in the rain, dressed for sunshine. (Yeah, I did that) ;)
I mean, COME ON!
Wow, I am so sorry, please excuse that outburst.
Do you see what I mean?
We are all on the verge of a meltdown and it's disrupting our entire day, can you please relax and calm down?
Maybe it's just me. I mean, I haven't taken a poll or conducted an online survey asking people to rate their moods and evaluate the causes or potential solutions, maybe I should, maybe I will.
The point is, you need to take it down a notch or 2, so we can all catch our breaths and just relax.
I hope you have a better day, and let me say, your hair looks fabulous!
I appreciate whatever you can do to help. Thank you.
Frazzled and irritated,
K

I Still Believe In Promises
Promises don't always bring happy, hope isn't always good news. Romance is much more than sappy, happiness can be found in the blues. Forever can just mean tomorrow, longing can last more than your life. Joy rises out of the sorrow, resolution can come out of strife. Goodbyes don't mean forever, hellos usher in a farewell. Friendships make for good lovers,

Recently, I spoke with a family member who I struggled to catch up with for a longer timespan than I would’ve liked and what struck me was how societal templates filled in on successive days routinely suck our time into a vacuum of seemingly infernal deficiency.

It's always fun and interesting to personify and run with it! Thanks for this interesting and positive letter on a negative, Keli.
So true, good perspective.
Hate is so easy for some people, it has so many different forms it can take, from exclusion / ignoring to destruction and murder. Love helps us build, hate causes destruction, Excellent words
A word for the times. My wife just shared news with me of three more shootings. One, a 17 year old kid who went to the wrong address to pick up his younger siblings. Another, an award winning cheerleader who accidentally went to the wrong car. Finally (if only it would be), a young woman who pulled into the wrong driveway. Sorry to bring you down. Your article was quite enjoyable. Maybe I should have read it before my wife broke the latest news.
Aunt that the truth. Great piece.
