good

So, I'm feeling good, if you didn't already read the post title.  Arrived in NV yesterday, met some amazing people.  I find that most of the time, I generally neither care for nor dislike (see how vague and timid I was writing that?) people.  People are just people - we walk by thousands every day and don't care whether or not we have a relationship with each and every one of them.  We're all indifferent.
But I must say - I've got a really good chance here to connect.  Hence the blog title.  I really crave getting to know people on an individual level.  I mean, I look back onto my life, and some crazy shit has gotten me to where I'm at right at this moment.  It's cool to think about - and you know, most people have those stories, but because of our personal bias, we will never quite understand.

For example, my boss at my vanilla job is so naive she thinks I'm making shit up all the time.  she thinks I'm an exaggerator, a liar, and an attention seeker.  But that's not my thing.  I'm just open, honest, and have been a few places that other's haven't.  Shouldn't that be ok?  Or do we have to cast out those people with life-shaping experiences?  Make them feel like their feelings and experiences never existed?  That my friends is a way that abuse is perpetuated.  Be wary.

Met someone today that I had a hard time believing their outrageous claims.  WELL....I seem to find myself guilty of what pisses me off.  Apparently I don't believe other people who've had crazy deals in life.

Ok, ok, I'll cut myself some slack...she really really sounded like she was proud of it, showing it off, etc.  The typical, insecure coping mechanism we can unknowingly utilize if we're in strange situations.  It's all good.  sounded like a story, but maybe I just think storytelling should be more sincere, whether it happened or we made it up.  Also, it was followed by some outrageous claims that I was REALLY skeptical about.  Here I am justifying...I guess I'm a hypocrite.  She just wanted to be loved, and that was her way, whatever it was.  I showed compassion but didn't wrap myself up in her drama...cuz let's face it, there's drama here.  Even wasting some of my precious skepticism isn't worth it.

Many hugs and goodnight kisses!
