Subject: OK, guys,

So, you don't like my honesty. That seems about par for people sicker than me.

Don't sweat it. I'm not. You couldn't possibly hate me as much as I do. Ain't no way. What you say sorta falls off my back and hits the wall. Get it?

Look, I'm not looking for sympathy or even advice. I'm not looking for acceptance. I learned a long time ago - that's a bad game to play. It'll just never happen. Deal is, if you leave me alone, I'll do the same.

I think this may surprise you folks out there, but connections with the folks outside are essential, even ones that are less than gracious. Hey, YOU GUYS KEEP ME HONEST.
No, I'm no CUNT FOR ANYONE. I'm so over that. I'm 50 and more interested in how I can salvage something out of my life (as long as I'm still breathing) and what I can do for others by TELLING THE TRUTH. To me, that's intellectually satisfying and sometimes even helps others.

Let me just say: Sometimes I am a little crazier than others. I want to say "I'm sorry for that" but - REALLY - I'm getting over that kind of belief. No, I'm made THIS WAY, so I have to waltz with it as far as it goes. If that is (for your own reasons) repulsive or sickening or crazy to you, just pass me by. I assure you, I'll be glad to do the same.

Deal is, I've never felt so free to say what I want. Nope, after some of the flaming you folks have given me, I'm SURE I want to be here and talk HONESTLY. For me, that's the key. I just can't get away with anything if I tell SOMEONE ELSE the truth. It's so simple. And, I believe that's what works. It seems to work for me, anyway.

PS: May I say I've not experienced such venom in many, many, many years. Why?

I'm always hoping to be ready to respond.

Keep sending in those cards and letters. Let's see where it takes us.
