your perception?

i feel like the way someone’s house makes you feel when you walk into it is a reflection of how you perceive that person. if you walk into the house of a person you feel is cold and self-absorbed, you will probably not be too comfortable on their couch, no matter how soft it actually is. whereas, if you were to walk into a house of someone who makes you feel warm and welcome, you probably won’t automatically look at the interior and judge it as hard and uninviting, unless it’s so messy that a rat may run out at any moment. one person may feel one way when entering someone’s house who they see a certain way while a someone else who knew that person in a different light would feel totally opposite when sitting in that same house. so my point is to get to know the person for who they really are before going to their house.

popped too long

a friend and i were talking about the amount of women from church that are pregnant at any given time. before and during the time that i had kyra for a few years, there were usually about 8-10 women pregnant at one time, overlapping each other. it reminds me of popcorn when all the kernels are popping out of control. now, i feel like we’re at the point in the popping process when there’s just a few pops here and there. makes me realize that i’m getting old and getting to that point where if i don’t watch out, i’m gonna be a stinky, burnt kernel. i guess i’m past that inviting, delicious part of my life. i just have to face facts and hope i don’t get thrown out with the bag.
