So...someone asked me to read something tonight...and based on what I read, and what someone very close to it said about how he had been acting, related to what I read....

I feel like I contributed to the shit that each of them has had to deal with of late.

I feel like there's something I should have done.

I feel like shit.

Human life, human nature, humanity . . . I'd have to say the word 'human' is pretty much almost identical to the term 'screwed up' about 50% - 75% of the time. We fall, we get up, we fail, we succeed, we blunder, we learn, and it starts all over again with each and every new day. None of us are even remotely omnipotent, and we're only somewhat so over what we create from anything but flesh. (Yes, a hamburger might go feral and bite you!)

We try to help each other, we try to succeed . . and sometimes, it just plain doesn't work. No matter if we bolster the ego or flatten it, the human factor is always there. We're a predictable species in that we ARE unpredictable, frequently short-sighted, and far more curious than is good for us.

I am human, I am proud of it . . and I'm damned embarressed by it at the same time.

I . . guess what I'm trying to say, sweetie . . is that it's not your fault for caring, it's not your fault for trying to help (or at least pound sense into these people), and it's not your fault for being who you are. There's much to love, adore, and be annoyed by with you, and I wouldn't change that for the world. If you can't be proud of yourself, at least be content, please?
