Drivel

 Drivel is a word that means something bad, usually a TV show that is awful. "There's nothing but drivel on at this time of night?" I guess it is a British term but it has made it's way into Canadian speak too. (Speak is like language. Newspeak is from the book '1984' by George Orwell)

So this blog entry is drivel. If you have patience to read it, continue. If not, I'll see you on the other side. 

Today, it seems like so long ago now but it's still the same day, I discovered that someone wasn't who they said they were. What a shock! This person is still special and always will be but she wasn't who she said she was, for whatever reason. 

In life, as in almost everything, when one thing happens in one place, something else happens in another. Today, two things happened in other places as well as the thing that happened in the first place. Have I lost you? Probably. Well there are a bunch of things that come to mind now.

 "Things happen for a reason." "What goes around comes around". Two sentences that have everything to do with today. In one place, a feeling, a relationship dies while in another a separate pair of relationships start and grow over a period of time spent in a time of intense emotion. 

While I discovered one person wasn't who I thought they were, I found out that someone else was exactly who she said she was. I should say, exactly the same and more. 

This makes no sense at all except as a reading exercise and if some of you are smart enough to read between the lines and figure it all out then bravo! To you it might be drivel but to me, it's my life. And since today, my life is a whole lot more complicated and confusing than it was yesterday. 

When in doubt, pick friends. When times get tough, make sure you have friends. Choose them wisely and choose the ones who will stand by you. Some friends seek you out and others just are there. Stick with the ones who hunt you down, seek you out, look for you. Get 'em, grab 'em and keep them inside your heart.
