2009 didn't start well for me. Today was one of those days I want and need to forget quickly. I don't remember ever being so disappointed at someone as I was today. I don't think I ever felt this kind of pain, the kind that almost hurts you physically.
But things like that usually come with a lesson, and I realized today that time has made me a lot stronger than I had given myself credit for. I realized that no matter if I'm the kind of person you like to have around or not, one thing no one can EVER judge is my character. Because it's not flexible, it's not shaped by whom I might be involved with, or what odd situation I might find myself in. In my universe, some things are clearly right or wrong, they are simply black or white. It's not an easy approach to life - believe me - but it's the only one I know. It's not always what gets you the guy, or the job, or the popularity others with a more flexible concept of decency might enjoy, but it's the only one I believe in. The only one that lets me sleep at night.
It baffles me how some people can be so self-righteous but still have so much character building to do. May maturity come to them at some point in life.
