Victims of Ignorance

Life is a strange thing sometimes. Just when you think you've got something figured out you realize that you really had no idea all along. Now you can't go back and change anything. You can only hope that you've grown a little bit from your experience. I feel like I have. Still with the stakes so high I wonder if it was worth it in the end. I guess this is where faith comes in...

  1. I am feeling all kinds of things reading this post. Familiarity with the described phenomenon, overwhelming curiosity at what the catalyst for this post was...

  2. The catalyst is in the familiarity.

    The main reason behind the post is something I'm dealing with in my life and it's something I think that a lot of people can relate to in the way that I phrased it. The specifics as to why are irrelevant and mostly just personal nonsense that no one would find all that interesting even if I did want to get into it.

    I'm reminded of a Radiohead quote (one of my personal fav's) "I waited but you never came". Part of what makes it so great is that it isn't specific, leaving each person a window for personal interpretation.

    I guess in the end the personal aspects would detract from the universality. Sometimes I just like to say what I'm thinking in hopes that someone can relate in their own way. And you did. Thanks.

    I also needed a reason to post the picture of my mistress, Sophia. One day we'll be together.
