@moboboandyking That' s absolutely a wonderful example of just how abstracted "normal" is! You are a very funny (twisted, but funny) man.

@Hell3Quin Thank you. To me, it is self-evident. Again, humans make a lot of noise. It gets in between the actual truth: You are loved.
1
@Hell3Quin It's hard. You want to be loved as you are fully. And ultimately you are, understanding this is key. The rest, really? Noise.

@Hell3Quin That's what I do with those feelings - turn them inside and they become very dark. It's a well-known but faulty coping mechanism.

@spacedoutsmiles I'm much the same way, which is why my tantrums and my expressions of joy and love are all in public :)
@Hell3Quin Also, as being gay has naught to do with the honesty of love and quality of your character, just be who you are as you are.

@Hell3Quin In the Jewish faith, there's a "permission slip" if you will for little white lies "To keep the peace of the home" - not unwise!

@Hell3Quin Do you feel telling her is a necessity? If not, proceed through your life and be as and who you are, especially if it harms.
@spacedoutsmiles I like that! It's an apt as well as a comforting metaphor.

@spacedoutsmiles I just want one example of a normal human. As in "this is Billie. this person is completely normal, and we measured it." ha

@Hell3Quin You're lovable! LOL. They are of you and you of them in measurable ways. I celebrate it. In this sense, we are all of each other.
@spacedoutsmiles I think normal in this sense is a very inaccurate word. All it describes IMO is some middle ground of blurry "how to be."

@Hell3Quin That must be difficult. Do you feel very driven as a result? Generation to generation we can reshape unreasonable expectations.

@Hell3Quin As in "I can't do this in my own self, let me see if I can do it to others" - not from malice, rather a desire to understand.
@Hell3Quin Yet it's also not very easy to control the self at that level of intensity - I wonder if that's the origin of control issues!
@spacedoutsmiles Yes! I read this in the whirlwind of this week. You amaze me - coming to such realizations now. I'm half a century in ;-)

@Hell3Quin She's made of life. And is living it fully, bless her pub-barred soul. She's an activist.

@Hell3Quin She sounds like quite the spirit indeed! Again to my incessant points: We are all incredible of great, great things. :D

@Hell3Quin We are community. How can I help? We'll be stronger together.
@Hell3Quin This is why I share freely, not to be all about me but because we all deal with these overwhelming lives. HUGS, and deep empathy.
