God I can really get on my nerves sometimes. Do you get on yours?

You probably get on mine too.  So don't go there.

  • Not exactly, no.

    Except in the most irrational ways,

    when suddenly i feel something numinous and luminous and wonderful.

    A mystery of life.

    Tell me, Morrigan, what is it about?

    And how is it for you?

  • He's gorgeous! Such a celebration! Doesn't care a hoot about the others. Just lets it all hang out. I'll bet he knows a thing or two worth hearing about.

    I love how you always ask questions in your answer. I imagine in real life a person can sit with you for hours and converse. 

    Well, for me, I always watch myself.  I think of how other people are perceiving me and when I look at them and it does not match, I have a tendency to shut it down, because I feel like I am getting on everyone's nerves, when actually it is just me getting on my own nerves.  Basicaly, I think, everyone else is too busy looking at themselves.

    Or someone else they WANT.

    So, I get on my own nerves that way; and that is how it is for me these days, since I am currently out of my comfort zone at a school where everyone is younger than me.   They basically travel  in a different world that is not mine and I don't want to live in full-time.  Fascinating, yes, but it really underscores how alone I am.  I love it most times, but it would be handy to have some homies in there.

    I know I will, I just take my time making friends.  I have always been that way.  I choose you.  Because you need to see where I am coming from so we can converse.

  • Thank you! :)

    I take time making friends too.

    Slow process getting to know people.

    Sometimes i am startled by your spontaneity

    sometimes a little floored by it,

    but as I get to know you better

    I realise you come from a place of deep good-will and reverence for life.

    That irritation thing - sometimes a mood takes me -

    and when I'm in it the tiniest things can turn me into a dreadful pedant.

    Something as simple as my husband flapping his umbrella in a crowd

    because he's unconsciously gesticulating as he talks

    and I suddenly fear he might poke someone in the eye.

    I will talk about safety, and fine points of manners.

    And he will wall up against me in fury.

    Then I realise that my irritation is really because I didn't sleep well last night

    and I'm freezing from the icy wind and even my bones are cold.

    And really it's his responsibility if someone clunks him on the head for a misplaced umbrella.

    So I say sorry and back off

    and practise mindfulness of the cold.

    What are you studying?

    Are you an "older age" student?
