It’s hard to hear that someone you looked up to—someone who’s even helped you—is in reality a toxic person. I’ve heard it enough times, now, from enough other people and their personal experiences to know it’s true deep in my bones. I really dislike this kind of vagueness in my blog, but for right now, anyway, I’m not going to be more specific. It’s my story, and I’m keeping it to myself. It’s not even that big of deal, actually; it’s not a surprise. It’s more a confirmation and a final settling in of what I’ve known for a long time. But, I guess I just wanted to express and share that it’s hard to reach that point of certainty.

Sigh.

Feeling a little under the weather tonight—I think the allergies and this coming shift in literal weather has gotten the best of me. I feel wiiiiiped out. That said: had a great day. A banner day. REALLY didn’t want to get up, but I did, I got my two hours of writing done in the morning, and even got an evening session done as well, even though I had to walk the pups first and then go back out there and do it. I even liked that it was getting dark as I did. But now…I’m exhausted. Going to bed early.

Nighty night, kids.
