Of fleas and ferris wheels.

I feel... exhausted.

Last day of school today. No staff panto this year, but I happily came dressed fit for the role of the fairy godmother. Well, the "military fairy" godmother, anyway.
Carol service. Icky... Could have been worse.
Giving out gifts is good.

I waited for God knows how long in the cold to be picked up. Watching people come and go. Watching people watching me watching nothing.
2 random strangers told me I looked lovely. Gives me some faith that there is spririt left in the world, and we aren't all so afraid of eachother.
Leaving me with my thoughts is never a good idea, and I might not be feeling so smiley - blue if I'd have gotten home on time.

We're on this big, battered rock whizzing through space. We're nothing but fleas on a ferris wheel. We go round in our own little circles and we may never once leave our seat. We'll never notice what's going on in the seat behind us and we'll take it for granted that someone will look after the mechanism and keep it safe.
I don't belong here, I fairly obviously wasn't meant to.
Not /here/ as such, but *here*. I mean, what am I doing? I don't even like ferris wheels.
I wish I knew what I actually wanted. There are so many things I could have, but I deny myself them all for the sake of not knowing. I want to help, but how can I when I wont be helped myself?

Why do my journals always seem so negative?

You are all wonderful people. I appreciate every one of you, past, present and future.
I hope that you're all enjoying the festivities in the pre-run to Christmas smiley - smiley
And I really do like that top. It's a good colour on you. smiley - ok

Take care... peace, love and hapiness

How to make the world a better place: Step One

Yesterday I was up in the school library with two "friends".

One of them is having a hard time. Her boyfriend hasn't long broken up with her. He gave her no apparent reason for making the move and is now behaving very strangely around her. Nobody else has attempted to listen to her at least, or help her out getting her head around it; which, coincidentally, is roughly what I've spent last week doing.

One of them generally has trouble coping with her brother, who has special needs. She's the one who stayed round my place for a few days a few months ago.

So, I'm sitting in the library with the two of them. I'd love to say we were all talking, having a chat, etc. But no, not really. They were both talking at me about their problems. Turn taking, talking over eachother, not listening to eachother. It was like being stuck in two different conversations that bore no relation to eachother.

And I thought.... Wouldn't everyone be so much happier if they could learn to listen? Learn to share things properly? Learn to care about eachother maybe one day...
I have so much compassion for other people, but they seem never to stray out of their own worlds.

If you do one thing this Christmas, do this for me: ask someone how they are and how they feel and LISTEN to them. Please.

Take Care
