time to get back on the coffee

i know that john mayer is pop. some people don't dig pop. but i have a stupid mouth just like he does.

i had a really hard day yesterday. and the day before. in fact it's been a hard month. maybe it's seasonal, or maybe it's just being a female. whatever. anyway, these hard days bled over onto some people around me that i really love. and i realized that the people i love the most and the people that love me the most are the ones who i "allow" to see this side of me. yeah, because that's a real privalege that should only be saved for the people who have taken the extreme risk to love me and be let in. i should treat the people who have taken the risk to love me the best, and show them the best side of me.

i become this person so hideous that it would make jesus drink gin straight out of the cat dish.

i didn't make the choice to love yesterday. or the day before. i think that my decision to get off coffee just isn't working out.

just remember that even if you feel like jesus wants to take some shots out of a cat's dish, he still loves you. even at your most hideous.

Props for the Anne Lamott reference, Schmauler! Sometimes I wonder whether or not people mostly love each other precisely because we can be such marvelous, original, thoroughly real pains in the ass...

Ditto what whimsical hue says - and the people who love you the most, love you BECAUSE of who and what you are. Bad AND good - don't beat up on yourself - the rest of the world will be only to happy to do it for you! Treasure the ones you love, and know that we treasure you back.
