Annihilated Obliterated Decimated…Blown to Smithereens…

Well, that was cheerful, wasn’t it?

We’ve become a “disposable” society. I am reminded of the scene in “Wings of Desire” where Peter Falk says on the movie set of a movie within a movie, “These people are extras” (referring to the “extras” hired for background shots). “These humans are extras” he then says. We are all, by and large, “extras” in our own lives. How do I know this? Because of the past two years.

I have had relationships end and my innate ability to trust others that at one time I always truly believed in my heart would “be there” for me exposed me to the sad harsh reality of life: I was wrong. Whew. That was…difficult to write.

I’ve spent the better part of this morning deleting voice mails from someone that I once referred to as my “spiritual sister.” I’m currently in the process of deleting the WAY too many photographs that I have of others that still cause me pain when I look at them. I’ve kept them too long, in other words -

“I’ve over stayed my time at the party” and now, it’s time to for me to leave.

This is perhaps the single most difficult thing I’ve ever done in my life.

Whether intentional or not, I’ve allowed people to hurt me tremendously.

But all that STOPS RIGHT NOW.

It’s sad in a way, really sad…at just how “easy” it is to delete, block and mute others from our lives — the advent of technology makes it all so…
