I’ve lost my balance completely, at first I was just
a little unstable whilst standing mentally on one
leg doing pirouettes - then the problem got worse;
finally I took painkillers - tho ’no rectification, just
a symbolic short-lived relief - now I am suffering
claustrophobia and feel trapped in my skin while
My head is shrinking; I tried escape by reading an
old fairytale book - the repetitions of meaningless
things are terrible and I can't find any sense in the
inane stories specialising in lists of stupid things: -
fingers, birds and pancakes: I suppose it’s to teach
very young children about fingers and toes and the
Challenges in overcoming unreasonable demands,
but ye gods - it is the most boring book I ever saw,
even Sleeping Beauty & Rapunzel became more
dull than they have ever been before - the bland
presentation is amazing with black ink sketches;
I’ll wait till I feel better before leaving comments
As I can't trust my judgment at present - being a
mental ballerina and falling over means I need to
get up again and order my thoughts before saying
anything worthwhile, especially because I have to
teach a dear friend to say NO when people make
unreasonable demands, making him feel he's not
In charge of his life: while saying NO is anathema
to him, he'll remain at the mercy of everyone who
asks him a favor & with the word NO not being in
his vocabulary they'll never know how much he's
overtaxed by their demands - and I wish I could
teach everyone how to say NO respectfully and
Take the reins of their life; it is a lovely feeling to
be in charge and make decisions for yourself…
