I’ve been rethinking a lot of things lately. The new year tends to do that to people. So I’m cleaning house. I’ve been spending a lot of time in places where I don’t belong. So I’ve decided to stop doing that. I’ve always known I’m a square peg, and it really doesn’t bother me that much. But I don’t see much sense in trying to fit into the round holes. It’s just not going to happen.
On the one hand, it would be nice to find people I can relate to — and who can relate to me — without having to worry about a lot of back stabbing and gossip. As I get older, it gets worse, not better. I will never understand why people can’t just accept others as they are. I don’t lie, I don’t cheat, I don’t steal. Considering the kinds of things that people complain about lately, you’d think that would be enough. But it’s not. And what they don’t know, they make up. Sheesh.
Then, on the other hand, I think the world is better off that there *aren’t* more people like me in it. I mean, I know I’m a little — hum — is “odd” the word I’m looking for? Okay — but I really prefer eccentric.
Someone told me not too long ago that you had to be rich to be eccentric. Obviously, that is not the case.
