[QUOTE="nlj, post: 651606, member: 17650"] Maybe there's nothing wrong. Maybe he simply doesn't conform to my ideas. Maybe he's right. Maybe I was wrong. Maybe I've been hoping for the wrong things. Maybe I've been wanting him to change, but, actually, maybe he's fine as he is. I've had a strange week. Reading online comments. Some vile nastiness from people who have no idea of the facts. Some from friends who have enlightened me, helped me see things in a different, more positive light. Some from people I've never met but who don't think he's wrong. Lots of cynicism. Lots of unity. Lots of empathy. I was humming some lines from Bob Dylan this morning: Come mothers and fathers Throughout the land And don't criticize What you can't understand Your sons and your daughters Are beyond your command Your old road is Rapidly agin' Please get out of the new one If you can't lend your hand For the times they are a-changin'. I don't want to get out of the new road. Maybe I'll walk on the sidewalk. Could I live off-grid? Could I join a gang of campaigners? No chance. But maybe I could embrace it all and stop catastrophising. What's going to happen next? No idea. But he's not going to conform And, actually, maybe I don't want him to. Lucy (With apologies to everyone who hasn't got a clue what this post is about) :) (and please don't write any detail in any response - I'm hiding away for a while x) [/QUOTE]
