Hello, darlings. Did anyone miss me? I’ve missed you, cyberspace, sorry for the recent neglect. I’ll try to do better than one post a month, really I will!

Anyway, today I’m here to marvel at the 20/20 clarity of hindsight. Sometimes you can’t really figure out life’s confusing happenings sans its benefits. You know, if only you’d known this you’d’ve have done that and not the other thing you did. Stuff like that. The really cool thing is that hindsight can prepare you for the future if you let it. In my case, the prevention of making the same mistakes over and over again. When you recognise a problem’s pattern, you can nip it in the bud. Feels nice to see a train wreck coming and nimbly skip out of the way.

Is my train of thought confusing? Are my sentences rambling and grammatically incorrect? Does it even matter? Shrug, I don’t care really. Well I do, but it doesn’t bother me right now. I just feel blesssed to know that it’s possible to identify bullshit and not have to take it from anyone. It’s liberating to see through the smoke, cut to the chase and get down to business without lying or false pretence. 

Damn but I hate liars and pretenders. I mean really, why bother trying to be something you’re obviously not? So pathetic. The truth always comes out and it’s often not pretty if you’ve been set up without your knowledge. The beauty of it all, however, is recognising a set-up and walking away unscathed. That’s my message for today. It’s not ground-breaking or revolutionary, but it’s good to know anyway.

If your gut whispers that something’s not right about a situation, listen to it. Your first gut instinct is never wrong. Don’t wait to learn it the hard way, and don’t feel bad if you did. Maybe if it wasn’t rough enough, it wouldn’t leave a lasting impression sufficient to warn you off similar shady situations ahead. Life can be brutal, but at least one can learn to avoid unnecessary tears and bloodshed once you’re clued in to your inner warning device. Nifty, innit?
