Lesson learned.

It is time. While I watched displays of others bitching,shunning and basking in an orgiastic display of ego, i learned. My views changed, vacilated, bounced around and now has settled down.

1) Walk away. Dignified. You may choose to set the record straight, but your friends will still see the best in the imperfect you.
2) People will let you down and you will let people down. Do not punish or beat yourself up.
3) Remember the kindness and only the good attributes of your friends.
4) If you can't, they are probably not your friends anyway.Separating from toxic people is the first big scary step. But when you finally do it, suddenly, it isn't anymore.
5) You don't need everyone to like or love you.
6) Respect is a pretty good alternative for popularity.

Thank you for those who stuck around and knocked my head while I was down with the self-destructive habits that almost veered me off the track. It is ironic that i am thankful for all that happened too. The lessons gave me a big fat blast of self-awareness and confidence. I will never be that naive or stupid ever again.

PMS

When I was a teenager, I used to laugh at pms articles. Headstrong with clear black and white view of the world, I scoffed at the so called outbursts by women were actually caused hormones rather than lack of self-control.

Besides the pain and discomfort, emotions seem to be all over the place during these weeks. Thoughts and feelings that I push away and refuse to acknowledge come back smoldering. Sometimes it ends in tears, and sometimes that makes it better.

We force ourselves to finish the bare minimum for the day, with back aches and muscle cramps, while trying not to be rude and unreasonably cranky, where no sitting or sleeping position relieves the pain. Sex better be as great as they say it is.

aNd why on earth we bleed when all boys do is wank themselves, and enjoy themselves in the process?
