Well..... what a strange year this has been. As I sit here and reflect on the year that is soon to close, I feel a sadness within me because of some of the experiences I have had. Now I could feel this sadness for me, however it is towards others that this sadness is for. The level people will go to meet someone will never cease to amaze me, however, what I can never grasp is why they feel they have to lie. Do they not think that both subs and slaves have a level of intelligence with which they will easily put 2 and 2 together? Do they not understand that once met, all preconceived ideas become reality? I have met a couple from here, one of who I have remained in touch for many years. His words were said, his promises were made and I believed, only to be let down, The sadness I feel for this particular person is that I admired and respected them so much and had done so, for so many years, only to have this destroyed with their behaviour, my sadness is that I lost a friend.
Now
This year is soon to close, and very recently, I have been speaking to someone very special. So as the clocks strike midnight, I will turn and look behind me and nod my head to the memories that I will leave behind, then turn and face the future with a smile on my face and raise my glass to the beginning of the rest of my life |
