Some of you may have noticed I've been a bit more, no a lot more, abrasive lately. This is mostly due to a lot of terrible things that happened to me this year. I'm not going to go into detail. That is clearly not a good thing to do in a public forum.
It started in January, and has just not let up. And no, none of these issues are trivial. I got hit hard and it seems like it's going to continue for at least the next year.
But, what I would like to say is that I have let my personal issues affect a lot of people around me. I've taken it out on them, not just here, but IRL too.
All I can say is that I am very sorry if I have been awful. A good friend of mine told me last weekend, "I'm surprised you haven't jumped off a bridge yet. Its OK, I get it."
But I still feel like that is no excuse. I should be pulling people closer to me, not pushing them away.
I need to start counting my blessings and push past this $#@!. I've got a lot of good things in my life.
I'm working on it, folks. Please bear with me.
