I had saved all of my other ramblings from ThatSpace. Kept them in a book for some odd reason. Yesterday, I started rereading them. Today I started destroying them. Yesterday they meant something. Today they are stupid. In between the lines I found a few words worth saving, but for the most part I enjoyed destroying stupid.
- It is not what was said that has cut into my self respect. It’s the justification that followed. I am walking anger. ~ March 13, 2006
- There is no drama in my marriage, no Jezebel moments. ~March 28, 2006
- I have faith in 11/06/06. ~ April 6th, 2006.
- I am ten steps away from my black cloud. ~ April 26th, 2006
- I make no apologies for choosing not to streak so naked through my rant with reckless, yet vulnerable abandon. ~ July 25, 2006
It’s funny. I think I hold onto all these statements because I remember the moments that prompted them. Isn’t that always the way? You hang onto a hurt because of the way it makes you hate. Well, hate’s a really strong word. I’ll take that one back. And…not all of these favorite quotes come from wanting to bash someone’s head in. April 6th was the day I decided to say something about my sister’s pregnancy. November 6th was the due date. I was hoping for Halloween, but spooky didn’t cooperate. April 26th quote was a bout of melancholy that had nothing to do with madness. *sigh*
These are the days I will remember. For the rest there’s destroying stupid.
although i liked your thatspace writings i understand why you enjoyed being rid of them.
Enjoy the purging! It is a process I am HIGHLY in favor of 🙂
Sarah~ I’m sure you will recognize some of the blogs whne they show up here. Some of them were too good to get rid of (who could forget “I’m looking forward to — without you”?!)
Ruth~ As my father would say, “let’s get a dumptruck in here, pronto! There’s a lot of sh!t to toss!” 🙂
