Songs can be intense conduits of thoughts; emotions and memories. A friend on my Facebook posted the Stevie Nicks video- Landlsides, and it triggered many of the three I mentioned. I was up most of the night sorting them and trying to decide if these were trivial thoughts – irrelevant and just brought on by sentiment, a fleeting set of emotions...
But a question eats at me … One I can't determine a definitive answer for …
Can I handle the seasons of my life?
I'm not sure... I'm going through so many changes internally, I wonder if I will cave beneath them; be defeated or adapt and emerge this 'new' person who feels foreign …I just recently became comfortable with me … and now it's all in question again.
This isn't about religion by the way, so readers don't get excited.
This is about the changes women go through – or men, our seasons. Like her song – children get older, and I'm getting older too ..
I am.
As I do – I'm changing. Jeff isn't aware or able to handle those changes – as an older man would … One who has raised kids and experienced things as I have … I can't easy speak to Jeff, I've tried.
Friends are changing too …
Or maybe they weren't friends... I think I'm a friend to people who aren't to me, because I have this unbelievable amount of faith in people. Some have gotten very materialistic – and it's a huge turn off to me – and I see the changes in them, vain ones.
I feel I'm mot “redneck prep” - so we don't meet in the middle. I'm this odd fringe type of redneck – a throw back to the village mentality on helping one another or being close to them like family … I'm not self involved enough for them though to join any reindeer games.
Just this past weekend I had friends come to my house... It's always I come to my friends houses for parties or to help them … the rest of time, I'm kinda forgotten. They don't sit at my table and break bread. But then again – I don't think I interest them … I'm not flashy or 'to do' or … a gossip whore, trifling female who gets all into the 'drama' scene.... I kinda lay back and say rational shit... or dirty shit.
I'm not “female” enough … I'm not a man either. So I kinda fuck myself in that area. There is also the issue that my “friends” hang out with people who either fucking hate me, talk about me … Or try to play mind games with me, and they aren't intelligent enough to do so.
Anyway ... I want a friend or friends who can weather the changes...
I'll sit softly by you
we'll about when I was little
ruffled skirts
I'll show my scars
we'll giggle like innocent children
you can show me yours
I'll tell you it will all be ok …
Someday that shit fades …. kinda.
The seasons of our life brings them back – and so we must wait for the season that brought them to reflect to pass us …
