You're right, we're all human, and everyone gets hurt...but not showing people what exactly does hurt you gives you an advantage like you have less weaknesses than most, even when thats far from the truth. I've come to find out that if people see that they can't hurt you as easily, then they give up on that front and move onto something else. Maybe thats where all of this is coming from... Please believe though, that I'm definitely trying to stay positive amidst the adversity! Thanks!

Some things about myself I'm definitely going to change and am in the process of changing. Some people that I know and used to surround myself with seemed to only ask trivial and surface questions not because they actually cared, but because they were nosy and just wanted to know everything that I was doing and up to. Its easy to say that you have this "I just don't care" attitude, and superficially, its easy to maintain, but it does eat away at you...and certain things that you should let roll off of your back or roll with the punches with does hurt and sting. Maybe I just need tougher armor...

I try to have a 'I don't care what people think about me' attitude, but sometimes it gets hard and it does start to take its toll on me. More often than not, I just keep calm, because its easier for me to maintain doing that. I don't like it when my actions, personality, or motives are misunderstood...because I feel as if actions speak louder than words.

I'm so sorry to hear about everything that happened to you in 2010, but I'm glad that you're definitely putting it behind you because thats the best way to move on. I'm just putting all of the negativity behind me (as well as the negative people) and cleansing everything and starting anew. Have a great new year and I hope and pray that things go nowhere but upward for you.

Yeah, I've been putting everyone ahead of me in my own life, and that doesn't sound right at all...and from this point forward, I'm putting more of a priority on myself. I was thinking about going down a list of all of my disappointments from the last year, but then I thought, why bother...because all of that's behind me, and I'm willing to step out of the shadows of the past and into the light of the present and future. And if others that I choose to surround myself with aren't willing to deal with it, then they too can escort themselves back into those shadows. And don't worry...I'm sticking with it...its not a resolution, but a life change.

How've you been?? And a happy new year to you too! Wed, 5 Jan 2011 15:32:17 +0000 http://allocationofsolitude.blogspot.com/2011/01/never-looking-back.html#IDComment119647493 http://allocationofsolitude.blogspot.com/2010/12/hypenitis.html#IDComment119377959 That Hypenitis is real....get your immune system up!! Its real out here. Happy new year to you B. Good. Tue, 4 Jan 2011 00:51:02 +0000 http://allocationofsolitude.blogspot.com/2010/12/hypenitis.html#IDComment119377959 http://allocationofsolitude.blogspot.com/2010/11/curious-case-of-johnny-come-lately.html#IDComment111697418 At the time, I was pissed off...and when I heard the news, I guess it sort of brought me back....but I'm well past that point now. Like I said, I gave her the 'wish you well' speech and pretty much kept it moving. And for a second, I slipped, and almost wished bad things happened for her because of what she put me through, but I'm a different and better person now, and don't wish any ill will on anyone...neither him nor her. Looking back, I should've just left everything when I saw that she was looking at different 'couples compatibility horoscopes' that involved her zodiac sign, and not mine but someone else's. The way I look at it, they deserve each other and whatever else that entails. Wed, 24 Nov 2010 14:58:15 +0000 http://allocationofsolitude.blogspot.com/2010/11/curious-case-of-johnny-come-lately.html#IDComment111697418 http://allocationofsolitude.blogspot.com/2010/11/curious-case-of-johnny-come-lately.html#IDComment111696951 Yeah, all of it is well behind me. And unfortunately, I'm well aware of that, and I'm glad that I wasn't put in that situation. So I guess I'm kinda 'grateful' that it happened when it did. Now I'm just not letting my past dictate the present, but keeping in mind that things that happened makes it all relevant. Wed, 24 Nov 2010 14:55:22 +0000 http://allocationofsolitude.blogspot.com/2010/11/curious-case-of-johnny-come-lately.html#IDComment111696951 http://allocationofsolitude.blogspot.com/2010/11/curious-case-of-johnny-come-lately.html#IDComment111696686 Thanks Don. Thats the whole point of it, to live and learn. And unfortunately, to learn life's hardest lessons, you have to go through the worst, and that definitely ranked right up there. But really, its not even an issue now, just rolling with the punches and learning from past missteps and mistakes so I'm not destined to repeat them. The way I look at it, the scars from the past are there as a reminder to let me know that all of that was real. Wed, 24 Nov 2010 14:53:25 +0000 http://allocationofsolitude.blogspot.com/2010/11/curious-case-of-johnny-come-lately.html#IDComment111696686 http://allocationofsolitude.blogspot.com/2010/11/curious-case-of-johnny-come-lately.html#IDComment111696392 I definitely hope so. I think everything happens for a reason, and maybe this whole ordeal just happened to make me realize that I have to be more selective as to who I let in close to me...or maybe it just was to harden my exterior. Wed, 24 Nov 2010 14:51:23 +0000 http://allocationofsolitude.blogspot.com/2010/11/curious-case-of-johnny-come-lately.html#IDComment111696392 http://allocationofsolitude.blogspot.com/2010/11/curious-case-of-johnny-come-lately.html#IDComment110103591 Thanks KayC! Thats exactly why I wrote it...I've since moved on long ago, but I was just left wondering where the turnaround was. I've heard so much about karma, and what goes around comes around, but I've yet to see it. I don't want to wish any ill will upon anyone, but some things definitely need to work themselves out. I'm just using this whole thing as a learning experience so that I can grow...and hopefully someone else who reads this who is going through something similar this could help them. And you're absolutely right, gotta excise the BS and keep it moving focusing on me. And I'm glad everyone loves the logo!! Thats great...and I'm glad things are working well with you too!

Tue, 16 Nov 2010 18:01:30 +0000 http://allocationofsolitude.blogspot.com/2010/11/curious-case-of-johnny-come-lately.html#IDComment110103124 http://allocationofsolitude.blogspot.com/2010/10/pf-changs.html#IDComment109745483 Exactly. I don't believe in the saying 'keep your friends close but your enemies closer' because I don't need frenemies in my circle. And you're definitely right, once love fades away from the equation, its like the person just changes, and they know everything about you that pushes your buttons and gets under your skin; and they use it to their advantage...at least from my experience. And I don't want to go through that whole ordeal ever again...so its best to be choosy. Its always best to learn from past experiences. Sun, 14 Nov 2010 14:32:05 +0000 http://allocationofsolitude.blogspot.com/2010/10/pf-changs.html#IDComment109745483 http://allocationofsolitude.blogspot.com/2010/10/pf-changs.html#IDComment108232882 Yeah, I try not to go too deep on twitter, because its just that...twitter. I was thinking about it for a while, and decided to finally write something about it. Pachangas are everywhere. Sat, 6 Nov 2010 18:20:51 +0000 http://allocationofsolitude.blogspot.com/2010/10/pf-changs.html#IDComment108232882 http://allocationofsolitude.blogspot.com/2010/10/pf-changs.html#IDComment108232740 I'm glad you can definitely see where I'm coming from. There are far too many wolves out there. I find that seeing what people actually say about you when you're not around, or when they think you aren't looking is definitely the best way to go. And the fact that sometimes you're not even mentioned at all when you definitely should be is sort of worse than being badmouthed. You can definitely tell where someone's heart is at by what they say about you. Sat, 6 Nov 2010 18:19:46 +0000 http://allocationofsolitude.blogspot.com/2010/10/pf-changs.html#IDComment108232740 http://allocationofsolitude.blogspot.com/2010/10/pf-changs.html#IDComment108232462 Exactly. If someone is down for me, I'll definitely be down for them. It's ill when people betray your trust, and still expect me to be solely down for them...I don't know what kind of Mickey Mouse world some people actually live in. Sat, 6 Nov 2010 18:17:46 +0000 http://allocationofsolitude.blogspot.com/2010/10/pf-changs.html#IDComment108232462 http://allocationofsolitude.blogspot.com/2010/10/pf-changs.html#IDComment108232299 Yeah, that definitely makes sense. I just think that I have to be more judicious as to who I let in my close circle, if anyone else at all.
