Rear View Smear

What can you do when people just don't like you? Is there a reason why I take that in as an opportunity to re-examine myself and how I'm represented around people? It's worth a thought, and blogs are a catch-all piece of mental adhesive, but on the other hand....

I've had a few really good days. I've had some good weeks, actually. And when I let that dark light in, it's hard for anything to catch on or point me in a direction, but those are just brief flashes right now. What - am I getting older, therefore I'm able to see these things in perspective? When I pay attention to the right things, it's really shocking to see the powerful effect that has on the reflection I see in the mirror. I forget sometimes that my creativity is a wildfire. I forget sometimes that for every person left behind, there are more ahead of me. I forget sometimes, that I take the world as a whole too seriously, and that it's totally okay to play and let go of the math. Math? How things add up? Did I lose you on that one? I'm not sure I totally understand it, either. Math. That was weird.

But life is pretty exciting right now. It's juicy. It's full of these little surprises that pop like soap bubbles everywhere. It's really weird - and I won't question it - but lately it seems that every move I make puts me in undiscovered territory. I go through my periods where I stay in place and work in a cloud of dust, and then there are times when I emerge, curious about the world beyond. That's where I'm at.

So what can you do when people just don't like you? Step out of the cloud and go where they do. And take a camera, because who knows what you'll find on the way?
