In passing we say things to people, we joke around, we are serious, and we make swift complements… comments.
Some people have a hard shell; it looks like nothing fazes them. But it’s those you need to be careful with… because one wrong word could destroy a fragile ego.
I’m fragile… I work hard not to be, but I am. I hide behind my mask… I sit at the poker table of life with my poker face securely in place. Here I can let out some of the pent up emotions… those that bubble under the skin.
I know I’m no beauty queen, but I don’t think I could be compared to a horse’s ass… I know in a line up of ten there will be at least 8 women who are more beautiful than I am. I know these things! It took me a year to find myself even remotely acceptable… to look in a mirror and look at myself and not cringe at the thing that stared back at me.
Today in passing, as a joke, a man that I held in high regard made a comment that ripped apart all I had worked on… without realizing how his comment affected me he took it a step further and by doing this stepped on my heart and soul like they where nothing, maybe that’s what they really are nothing…

like jou new look!
Lekker dag!!
People can be very cruel and I know that it is hard to get over the pain that people cause, especially when they have no idea of what they have done.
For what it is worth – I don’t believe your heart and soul are nothing. I am a stranger to you – yet you have had a huge impact on my life. I read your blog religiously and there are many moments when without knowing it you have inspired me to pick up the pieces and keep moving on!
You are a very special person and it is a pity that there are some individuals out there that do not appreciate you for what you are but there are many of us out there that do!
Hi daar
Kyk dan net wat het DaMario met my gedoen op sy website … weet jy hoe seer het dit my gemaak? Ek kan dit nie aan jou beskryf nie.
Partymaal is mense so onsensitief vir ander se gevoelens.
Mail my gerus as jy daaroor wil praat?
Dink aan jou.
Groete
Adele
Hi Adele… ja ek weet hoe seer dit mens kan maak! jy sal sien ek het n comment daar gelos en hom ook van my blogroll af gehaal… sy kop het hom verlaat! hoe se hulle meng jou met die semels en die varke eet jou op… nou ja, ek meng my nie verder met die semels nie! hy is die een wat nogaltyd blaker oor hoe dit almal se goeie reg is om te comment wat hulle wil… maar jy maak n grap en hy klim op sy high horse en vloek jou van hier tot in Kairo, dis dood een voudig net nie reg nie!… ek lees nie verder daar nie en stel ook nie verder in sy doen en late belang nie… hy moet homself maar by sy eie simple omgewing bepaal!
