Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

I was thinking about the truth today. Everyone has their version of the truth. But i'm smart enough to know that nobody knows the truth, not the cold hard truth. We only ever know our version of the truth. We see the world through the filters of our experiences, opinions, morals and values. The truth passes through these like light passes through a prism. It is broken and bent and comes out the other side as something different. It's still a truth, it's just not THE truth.

"I've Learned That People Will Forget What You Said, People Will Forget What You Did, but People Will Never Forget How You Made Them Feel.”

So, dear readers, when you read my journal, know that these are my thoughts and feelings, based on my experiences and opinions. I don't claim them as THE truth. But they are what I have come to understand of events that have happened. This is how things seemed from this side. I don't expect anyone to agree with me or disagree with me, love me or hate me, be happy or be angry....

I write these entries for myself. This s**t bounces around in my head until I can't even concentrate. I have to get it out somehow.

I've made many mistakes in my life, but I have few regrets. Every cloud has a silver lining and for every door that closes, another one opens.

Those that have turned their backs on me, they weren't friends to begin with. They were users and manipulators. They were only out for their own agendas. I am better off without such a posse of self-centered schmucks.

I would rather stand alone than be surrounded by the rotten slime that I have witnessed in the last year.
