An Open Letter To - The Creator

No, I didn’t go to the spiritual service I like attending this morning. Why? Because some people just assume I don’t have a life and take it for granted that I’ll be home to accommodate their wishes!

Then I get a string of phone calls that make me want to scream – who the hell asked you! I just wish everyone would leave me the fuc…pardon my French, alone!

Quit treating me like I’m some blubbering idiot who isn’t capable of making decisions on her own. I’m going to get a bull horn, blow my lungs out in it and scream – get out of my face!

Every time I turn around someone is questioning what I’m doing or undermining my decisions. Is it any wonder I’m questioning myself lately. Good gawd! Ease off!

People want to know what I think, what I want, what I’ve decided, where I’m going, when and how I’m going to get there, but I no sooner say something and it’s questioned, doubted, discouraged or thrown out the door. “What are you doing that for?” they say. Yet, if I had decided the other way, I have no doubt the response would have been the same. Well, piss off!

I don’t give a rat’s ass what you think, or you, or you. Do you hear me? If you can’t step into my shoes then I suggest you get out of my space.

What the hell is it that some people lack which renders them incapable of doing that. If you can’t step into my shoes or you can’t walk along side of me, then step aside.

And then people have the audacity to say. “You never say anything. You don’t talk.” Duh!! Would you stand in front of a firing squad and tell them what’s on your mind knowing they will open fire the minute you open your mouth?
I don’t think so!

Writefully Yours
Annette

PS: This wasn’t directed at you but I had to let it go and I figured you’re big enough to take it. Besides, you’re the only one around right now.

You sound like me Annette when I
need to let off steam!!! In fact,
last Thursday I let fly "Leave me
alone"!!!! at a certain person who is getting on my nerves...won't get off my case...a nice, lonely man, but the most boring person I've ever met!!!! Hasn't a single thought or opinion of his own. If I want a dog, I'll go to the pound.
"If you can't step into my shoes then I suggest you get out of my space"....WELL SAID!!
Hoping today has treated you well, and you're off to a better week.
hugs...pat

No Barbara. Pumpkin is safe and sound. This cat is p.o.'d just like I was.

You had me in stiches with your response to my writing. Gald to hear I'm not the only one to blow her top.

Hmm. Don't remember ever seeing you blow like that. And that's a pretty controlled blow. I've done much better. You should know as you were on the receiving end quite a number of times in my teens years. Now my husband has to endure the "blow ups"!

Too bad you didn't have a dirt bike around to go tearing down the road and blow some of that steam like when I was 15!

Karen, yes, I do recall a few blow ups coming from your side of the fence. Having a dirt bike was kind of dangerous then.
