Rising Above It
Yes, you heard me, shite happens. And I’ve been through more than enough of it in my lifetime to know just how stuck in it you can get if you let yourself be bogged down.
Apologies.
Due to one bout of shite happening, during a particularly shitty bout of shite happening, I behaved in a manner befitting of someone with much lower standards than I usually set myself, someone of far lesser morals than I hold. I allowed myself to sink to a depth usually reserved for those whose moral standards I call into question and I posted my feelings about someone – we’ll call them Francis – on social media… publicly. Francis wasn’t mentioned by name, but I didn’t pull many punches when it came to making it possible to identify poor old Fran.
Now, it just so happens that Francis was the cause of the first bout of what we’ll call the ‘poopstance’, however, with time for reflection, I now realise it was beneath me to stoop to that level and thus I apologise… to those that love and care for me. I apologise for momentarily not being the person you know and love, for not living up to the decent character you believe me to be. And to Francis? Well to Francis I apologise for not keeping my status privacy setting to private.
Believe me, I won’t be doing that again.
At the end of the day, truth is a powerful weapon – one best kept up your sleeve. Revealing it can be hurtful and no decent human being should ever set out to hurt someone, no matter what they’ve done.
A true good soul, a real wise individual will rise above all that shite. They’ll step on their hover board and sail across a stinking sea of poopstance, a smile on their face, a twinkle in their eye, and a song in their heart. They’ll trust in those that have their back, and remain true to themselves – because to do otherwise, to stoop to the levels of low stooped to by lesser mortals means falling into the poop… and that, my friends, is really not a good place to land.
