Happy Halloween!
Tonight is going to be Movie night with the granddaughter. We haven't gotten many trick-or-treaters where I live, so I'm not looking for anything to change; we will see.

Have you heard the Keith Urban version? t's a salute to the Bee Gees
A journal entry should be seen as someone's thoughts, feelings, and ideas. People choose to express their internal beliefs, struggles, and achievements in written forms as they choose to convey.
I have written this repeatedly, "Life isn't a one-size fit most experience"
Not everything is perfectly understood when the person is, excited, angry, frustrated, or hurt in written form. It may not be wise to take someone else's words out of context to fit another's narrative. "Not everything is as it may be seen nor understood when reading other thoughts"
I have had my words hijacked and interpreted, into a narrative far beyond what was supposed to be conveyed. People seem to forget sometimes public journals can get deep, self-reflective, and sometimes even brutally honest. Maybe we can just read without judgment or put ourselves into something we were never a part of.
I do appreciate being able to get a glimpse into another person's perspective on life. I try not to judge someone's struggles, beliefs, or how they live their life. I do take it personally when my life, happiness, and beliefs are judged and criticized by misinformation and hateful rhetoric. I have only met maybe two people on this site in person since I logged on here in 2008. Those meetings were non-productive, unpleasant, and disheartening. I have been shunned and pushed away from people who once called me family, and friends. Why exactly, just because I wouldn't fit into people's idea of what role I should have portrayed in their eyes. I can't be anything but my fucking self, nor, have I ever tried to be anything but the person who has been here all along. I may have some strange profiles at times but I design, write, and embody nothing I haven't put out there, in my life. I have many layers, shades, and shadows from my experiences, actions, and choices that are mine.

Agree 100.
It's hard for a lot of people to step away from things they read in others' expressions and not think that it's about them, subsequently twisting those into stories int heir own head to fit false narratives. You're doing good for being you. It's a challenge to stay true to ourselves in the face of continual pressures to wear masks that make other people feel more comfortable in our presence.
Black Christmas tree? 🤔😁
