Maybe we would all feel a bit more free to explore really personal anecdotes if we
moved this thread to Junk in the trunk "Private"?
It's Patrick's thread, so I won't presume to move it.
For now, though, a personal anecdote...
I'm finding that my successes, and my failures, are very personal. Aside from my mom,
whom I love dearly, and close family, those which can sniff my pheromones front of
the line please, I'm finding it curious that there are those who feel "responsible"
for all my successes. And? Curiously enough? I'm finding that those very same people
think they have something to do with any failures I may happen upon.
Life has it's ups and downs. It just does. They are exciting! But no one really has
anything to do with the talents I choose to polish.
Also? Those closest to me deny any responsibility for any successes I have, and deny
I even have any failures.
So, it's been cute, it's really tickled me, to watch people who tell me very plainly,
they are responsible for my successes and failures. They really aren't. No one is.
Life holds it's share of success and failure.
So, I guess the anecdote is really a ponder. And I apologize that I won't get more
personal in a public forum on the internet where it will be archived for forever.
But, for me, it's been interesting to watch those who are less than anything to me
believe they have a say over my life, and over my joys.
