Warning. I’m super grumpy.
I almost dread what’ll come out of my mouth.
Skimming through my newsfeed, I detest the catchy psycho-babble nonsense that’ll cure your [insert any label] in 10 quick easy tips!” All I hear is blah, blah, blah. Flip [scroll] the page and shake my head.
I assure you it’ll take a lot more than 10 tips to ‘fix’ me. Perhaps I don’t even need fixing. Maybe what I need is to be heard and seen.
Equally annoying are the sexy click and bait posts.
I’m tired of the BS and the steady stream of artificial-flavored-super-happy and perfect people. How is that even possible – every-flippin’-day? (I have a hard enough time getting clothes on.)
My rose-colored glasses have been dipped in real and that’s when I stop for few seconds because this wicked heart-throat-lump forms.
Maybe just maybe I’m ranting and raging because (big sigh), there’s a whole bunch of other feelings surfacing all-at-once.
(I’m whispering now….) It would be easier to be a hermit, if I didn’t love connecting with people soooooo much.
Tears splash with a tiny smile — I am grateful to embrace my imperfections and grumpiness.
My anger is real and just. Hurt happens. Aches are important. Kindness matters. Respect is paramount.
PS: I send you each much love and appreciate those who take a few to read this tiny blog.

Aldous Huxley said the truth will make you mad. It’s called an awakening and at least you feel. I think that seems awkward somehow in this robotic society. Great post!

It feels so robotic in this society. Incredibly frustration when many want a quick fix. Life is a process. Our emotions are a process. There isn’t a one size-fits-all-psyche. 😉

I think that each season has its place. It is the “Sounds of love” that guide us. I wish you a peaceful and relaxing weekend Carolyn. 🙂

Carolyn Riker’s blog “My anger is real and just” is the most honest blog about feelings I’ve had the pleasure of reading. Honest and raw in feeling. Well said, Carolyn! Thank you for your honesty, and sharing it with the masses.
