Melancholy

   Have you ever put yourself out there and gotten nothing in return? I mean like a total wave of silence? It sucks! As much as it sucks when we get this type of reaction, we still need to put our hearts on the line. What is living, if you don't risk every once in awhile?
   I have been in a bit of a down place recently, which is one of the reasons I haven't posted anything. I don't like for people to know when I'm struggling. I am a perfectionist to the hilt! It's a sickness really, lol. Do any of us really want people to see when their lives aren't where they want them? Does everyone feel like a failure at some point? I think the answer is yes, we all feel like failures sometimes. It's strange when it happens to other people, I don't look down on them, or cast judgement. When I'm in a tight spot though, I feel like I'm under a microscope! I feel like I should have a perfect demeanor at all times. I think that's a southern woman's way of thinking, lol. Life isn't perfect. The only thing that is within our control is our reaction to any given situation. So I'm asking everyone out there to show some compassion, some kindness, just pay it forward for goodness sake!
