Well a new year is
here. The first day is almost over and
it has already been eventful. I told
myself Sunday morning that I knew there was going to be some major shakeups in
my life (some had already occurred), and it has already begun.
A relationship has
been destroyed by time, distance and circumstance. Two critical friendships have fallen
away. My income is, as always, a
month-to-month prospect that can be taken away at the drop of a hat.
My natural trust in
humanity has been shaken to its core by an incident Sunday night. I choose not to talk about it, but suffice it
to say that my outlook has been changed drastically and permanently. Basically, most humans are horrible
creatures, who, if given the opportunity, will use and hurt others for their
own amusement.
What will this new
year hold? It seems the last couple of
years have been studies in drastic changes so I hope I can find a way to adapt
once again. I must admit I am tiring of
the effort, but there must be a payoff somewhere. There are decent people out there. I know, I've met a couple of them. They are few in number, and very hard to
find.
