Okay, well I'm back home and life is back to relative normality. This once travel blog is now to become my own little emotional rant space. So probably time for a lot of people to tune out. I wasn't going to continue writing a blog but sometimes it feels like life is slapping you in the face and there is nobody you can tell but a blank page.
Today, I'm just going to say a brief word about the irrationality of some people, accompanied with inflexibility, ignorance and intolerance it really is a startling combination. I'm just finding that being home I'm beginning to feel more and more alone. Some people can't seem to understand the experiences that I had overseas and their judgement and disgust is overwhelming and enveloping. Sometimes, I have to stop and tell myself to breathe. I'm going through the motions to get through the day.
One last note to old people. Just because you're old it doesn't mean that you know everything. Advice is great but no matter what little gems you come up with, no matter how logical or well thought out in your mind, the honest truth is your experiences will never be the same as mine. Your mistakes will never be mine, your choices, and opinions are not mine. I will live for myself, forge my own path, make my own mistakes and find the right way back myself. So, the next time you turn to a younger person with some misplaced notion of superiority due to experience or age save your breath because the youth can smell condescention from a mile away and its damn right frustrating, exasperating and infuriating.
okay. rant. over. sorry.
