Why Is It ...

… that when I hear someone say “Life is a walk in the park,” I think of my life as a walk through Jurassic Park?

… that I am the person that always leaves early … like Cinderella?

… that I hardly ever speak to people? So, if I talk to you, congratulations!

… that you think I was a toxic person in your life, but in fact it must have been your fault; next time, don’t play with me.

… that your secret is safe with me? Cuz I’m gonna forget it as soon as you tell me.

… that I hate when people think I’m mad or sad because I’m not talking when the fact is, sometimes, I’m just too lazy to talk.

… that one of my toxic traits is going too hard on the chips and salsa before dinner arrives.

… that I have the uncanny ability to forget what I’m doing while I’m doing it.

… that I vacillate between thinking I am crazy and thinking I am not crazy enough.

  1. As a former HR rep, I can tell you I don't forget secrets, but I do put them on the far back burner; forgetting them takes away an essential tool.

    1. I don't have the time or inclination to store them away.

  2. My sister and I will be chatting and one of us will lose our train of thought and say, "what was I talking about?" and the other one of us will always say, "Um, I don't remember." This happens often! :)

  5. I've gone into a bathroom and forgotten what I was there for. After leaving, I remembered that I had to pee. No lie! I think Ellen D might be my sister.

  6. I like to think that the filing cabinets in my mind are so full, there is no more room for remembering things. My daughter just thinks I'm losing my mind.
    If I'm not talking in a group of people, I'm probably eavesdropping on another conversationg. :p

    1. I like the filing cabinet analogy.
      And eavesdropping can be kinda fun!

    Well, I love to talk. I like to find out what people are thinking about all the crazy things that go on in this world. But then, I become sad or mad because so many of them don't know what's going on and often seem very proud of how skilled they are at being uninformed!! 🤬🥺

    1. I, too, get annoyed when people don't pay attention to the world but can tell you about any number of TikTok videos they've seen.

  9. I am definitely that way about secrets. In one ear and out the other. (Unless it's a REALLY REALLY good one.)

  11. And oh how I hate when people say life is a walk on the park... Even worse: “Don’t worry. It will all turn out just fine.”

    1. I do that and think it's because I'm better on my home turf.

  16. Oh dear! Sounds like you might benefit from a course of psychotherapy.

  17. I do the exact same thing with chips and salsa. I swear to myself every time that I won't do the gorging thing, but I always do!
