I have, as a rule, tried refrained from posting whenever I found myself in a place which we call The Doldrums. However, there have been exceptions. Few and far between, but yes, exceptions. Sometimes, there is just absolutely nothing to be done but take to your trusty computing machine and pour your heart out to the Internet. Because somebody, somewhere must care that you are not exactly okay. Or at least, that is my hope.
This week, and if I am honest, the week past, I have been circling and circling the roads of Ye Doldrums, endeavoring to find a way out of town, but to no avail. I am hopeful, naturally, and ever a shiny person bursting with exuberance, but inside, I grow dimmer. Hopes have been dashed. Done ever so slowly and unspectacularly, but dashed they were, nevertheless. It is a sad, sad thing when you finally begin to see people as they are, and what you are to them. Which only goes to show that my natural instincts are ever unreliable in certain respects and should not be trusted with something as fragile as hope.
Universe, you led me on.
And that is all I have to say on the matter.
