So, the latest word from the old 'hood is that i've lost my mind. It cracks me up that there are people from the old 'hood who make sure i know everything that's being said about me back there. I don't ask, and really, i don't care, but the information keeps streaming in. { To my adorably sweet sources: really, you don't have to tell me any more of it; i honestly don't give two poos. Let them gossip 'til theirs hearts are "content." }
I've always been a compassionate and understanding person. I can understand why certain people are upset with me right now. I've learned some very serious and disturbing things and no longer believe what they believe. When you base your entire life around something, and someone says that certain something isn't true, it's can feel like you're being told that *you're* not true. It can mess with your head--a lot! I can understand that.
What amazes me is the amount of denial some people have to live with in order to believe what they do. They don't bother to check FACTS, they just write off things they hear as hysteria or gossip or untruth created by "haters." I'm so grateful that i finally decided to find out the truth for myself.
If you need to call me crazy in order to continue living comfortably with your beliefs, feel free! I know who i am; and i know who you are. And i don't hold that against you.
Cheers!
We have one chance.
One chance to get everything right.
We have one chance, one chance.
And if we're lucky we might.
My friends, my habits, my family, they mean so much to me.
I just don't think that it's right.
I've seen so many ships sail in,
just to head back out again and go off sinkin'.
I'm just a box in a cage.
I'm just a box in a cage.
I'm just a box, just a box in a cage.
I'm just a box, just a box in a cage.
I'm just a box, just a box in a cage.
I'm just a box in a cage.
Didn't mean to laugh,
didn't know I had,
didn't know the better part of what you said,
'cause in your head you are not home.
Didn't get the joke,
didn't mean to poke another,
just to save myself from some something, something or another one.
Well walk home.
I'm just a box in a cage.
I'm just a box in a cage.
I'm just a box, just a box in a cage.
I'm just a box in a cage.
I'm just a box, just a box in a cage.
I'm just a box, just a box in a cage.
I'm just a box in a cage.

Let's Just Call It Crazy, and Call It Good

2 holla'd back:
Good for you! People talking behind my back really bothers me. Mostly because I don't understand why people don't just talk TO me rather than about me. But, I guess in the case of people leaving the church, it makes sense that they don't talk TO us, because they don't want to hear what caused us to leave. They want to believe we've lost our minds, we're under the influence of Satan and sin, or that we've been offended. It's frustrating, particularly when the gossiping is being done by people who would have talked TO us rather than ABOUT us in the past. I for one would like the chance to discuss what I've learned and to try to help loved ones see the light.
Thanks for this post.
Oh it bothered me at first, but after I thought about it, i can see why that's what they need to do in order to feel sane and grounded themselves. Not the healthiest approach on their parts, but until they let go of judgement, control and fear (and many never will), it's what's they've been "taught." Shrug.
