A Helpful Thought

After thinking about my childhood and analysing it from many viewpoints, I suddenly realised that I'm just an artifact of a specific very peculiar and unprecedented occurrence that was limited in time and place, and forgotten, mainly. I'm just like the shreds of a balloon burst at a long-past birthday party, now lodged behind the sideboard. Actually that idea is very helpful to me.

I am a broken birthday candle lying there beside you, with the crusty icing already gnawed off by the mice. Nice to see you here today, Osprey! By the way I am a light green candle and I was burnt about 1/3 of the way to my bottom.

I was born into a completely bizarre scenario, which I always knew, but still considered that I was, oh, cursed, or a failure, or it was something else personal that I had been or done that set me completely apart from everyone else. I think perhaps it was just an overwhelming amount of strangeness and it wasn't my fault that I couldn't form it into a normal life.

Course, you can be cursed, too, if you like ;-D

Sorry if I am navel-gazing - it seemed significant to me.

I've had a dead normal (whatever that means) upbringing and I've considered myself froma very early age to be wallpaper.

Cursed? You were enormously blessed to have these unique experiences in time and space; they give you your wonderful, refreshing perspective, which I, personally, value extremely highly. Thank you SO much for your friendship. It is a treasure.
