From my profile this evening: Today's been such a sucky day for everyone I seem to know. (Technically yesterday, but since I haven't gone to bed yet and the suckiness continues, "today" sort of still applies...) Anyway, so I've been giving advice and suggestions to people today and over the last hour, I've become such a friggin' hypocrite. I mean, I'm reassuring one friend that she shouldn't worry about her significant other who hasn't called, that she should have faith in him and that there's a perfectly good explanation. At the same time, I'm telling a second friend to have faith in herself and that she shouldn't feel that her past dictates her future, that her past failed relationships don't mean that her future relationships will end the same way. And as if that weren't enough, I'm talking to yet another friend about an ex of hers who won't move on. I'm spouting off advice that when given to me, I ignore. When people have said these exact same things to me, I tend to frown and think to myself, "Yeah, whatever. Easy for you to say." Or something pessimistic and along those lines. And I'm making judgments about behavior that could just as easily be my own. And this bugs me. It really bothers me. I mean, I'm telling the truth to these people, but I almost feel like I'm lying because I never believe it when it gets told to me. I always think it's a crock of shit, so I can't believe I'm telling it to my friends and meaning it. :-( Now mind you, this single rant, I kept up for almost three minutes while my pizza cooked in the microwave, but it doesn't seem to be taking up as much space here. Hmmmm.... And what I just realized is that I got so involved being a hypocrite and reassuring two of you that I forgot to tell you about a song I heard for the first time on the radio on the drive home...some new song by Elliot Sloan, the lead singer of Blessid Union of Souls. I can't seem to find the lyrics, but I really liked it and I wanted to share it with you two. |
