This is not my first blogging experience. I have done many blogs for school. This is the first blogging experience that I have done on my own that was not a part of an assignment. From blogging before, I found that it was a great way to vent, let go, and be a complete person. Let's face it, there is more stress in life now than there has been in a long time. So anything positive that allows you to get stuff off your chest, good or bad, is not a bad thing.
So the title of my blog is The Way I See it by Dawn. I picked the title because I see things in rather unique ways. For instance, I believe that most everything happens for a reason. I can not always say the reason because it is often a long time before I understand what the purpose was for something to have happened. A good example: My friend's teenage son being killed by a drunk driver. The drunk who hit and killed him will never go to trial because it was ruled an accident. No! I have no answer why her son had to be killed nor the person who was over the limit will never see the inside of the court house. This is one of those things. On other things, I get the reasoning right off. Usually it is because of some person's actions or my own that has caused some instant karma.
Another thing that is plaguing me lately, why is it that most everyone I know has decided that I can save them from whatever is going on in their life? This happens in spells. This week alone, it has become ridiculous! The sad thing is that I truly care for all these people but quite frankly, I don't have the answers that the want or need. It is like talk shows: Does anyone really think that the 45 min someone is on the show is really going to miraculiously fix whatever situation is going on? It probably took years to get to the point in which you went on a talk show in the first place. So why would 45 min of " Airing your dirty laundry to the national viewing audience" fix the 20 years of whatever problem you are having in life? Duhhh it won't. For those who think I have the answers to everything that is going on in their life I don't have it either. It is not that I mind listening, or to give sound advice or be a friend. However, I can not fix your issues when you wouldn't listen in the first place before it got to this point.
I guess my point is that I can listen and try to help... but if it is going to consume me, then I can't help you. Maybe that is part of the point of blogging. It helps put some things in perspective.
