contagious.

I know it's cliche to say "I know how you feel" so I'll just shut up for a second. Because I know, right now you don't want to hear how happy things will be down the road. You want to feel the pain, because it brings you to life. It reminds you, you are human.

I offer to listen, but you don't crave a silent ear. You want someone who will feed the drama. Tell you how you've been wronged.

Well, you've come to the wrong person. I won't do that. Fuel the fighting.

Why?

Because it doesn't help. It drags you back to that horrible place of anger and resentment, once again. That bitter block of time, in the past. Ruining a perfectly good moment in the present.

So, excuse me if I feel my stomach churning, and if without thinking I puke a rainbow on you. I'm a carrier of consciousness. Keep me around, and you'll catch it.

The sensation may seem strange at first, almost foreign. But, believe me, if being infected feels this great...I don't ever want to go back to being normal. Happiness is here. Contagious.

  1. I run into this problem a lot. Especially at work - I work with a lot of gossipy females. So, every time there is a "problem" I just sit, listen and nod. I have gotten to the point where I will start saying, "seriously?" and repeat back what the person just said to me. We all have our moments where something just isn't going right for us, but then we need to take a step back and think about what we really are saying. And consider if somewhere in another place around the world, how our "problems" would be perceived.

    So, puke those rainbows, girl. And never quit. You are a true inspiration!
