I'm not a fan of apathy but this lump in my gullet is making it harder and harder to swallow. It'd be fun for a day to take up indifference, to swallow without recognition, involuntary as love, just for a day. My caustically chiseled face would still be there, it's the only one I have, but I'd be able to swallow. Keep flying to the sun with these gargoyle wings. |

I feel like this is part of a conversation you've just had, it is worded that well from your gut. And I can relate! |

Hmmm, I kinda know what you mean, Joe. If it takes an apathetic attitude to swallow that lump, then so be it... Let go ~ let God ~ and s-w-a-l-l-o-w... Oh, and here is some magic potion that I just made for you ~ to help it go down nice and easy...  Warm hug, Linda  |

This sounds like having to deal with a very troubling problem, that someone else has brought upon you, and you are the one that made the decision to be the better person. Or not? Nice write. Tracey. |
