Ok...It's been some time. I'm not in a good mood. I'm not in a good mood because I'm in my thoughts about what folks should do, how they should do it and what it means when they don't.

Feelings...we can get in them, they can control us. But what happens when you decide to not let your heart get highjacked? I'm stubborn on any day ending with "day", so when I'm in my hurt feelings and bad thoughts I stay there on purpose even when I know how to get out of them.
