On the Other Side: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly | Marvi Matos.
There is so much of this we have in common with the author…
I too have discovered the true colors of people in my life…and I am sorrowful to say it, but among people who previously knew me, those colors have been cut and run coward and Judas.
Even knowing Them my entire life, and aware They are with me, I am nearly overwhelmed with the separation, the othering, and the distance that has happened due to me being myself…it is really discouraging and troubling, and honestly at times it seems the best option is to simply go away and be gone forever. I mean, I am so evil as to be othered and judged and policed, so what difference would it truly make if I were not here? Sadly, the WordPress-osphere would have a ripple or 3, and then go on in its same old same old posts and poems and articles and artifacts.
Thankfully, there have been people brought into our lives we never knew before…and they have made all the difference. I do believe they would indeed be wounded and wounded deeply…as would my dearest darling, who has very openly asked me to stay for her, cus she likes me a lot…
but I won’t lie…there are days…those days of discouragement, when people you have given all you have to give abscond with it and your name too…yeah, those days.
