Hurting or Helping?

Although I’ve never put stock into astrology, other than it being a human by-product of what God created, I carry the very Sagittarian trait of putting my foot in my mouth. In my case, it’s more “open mouth, change feet,” unfortunately.

In cyberspace, words that fly off my fingers sometimes sound cruel, rather than honest. I’ve always hated hearing B.S. from others. Like I don’t know what they’re doing. I don’t think I could B.S. someone even if I wanted to.

Many times, I try to help my cyber friends with whatever they’re going through. I welcome this, but sometimes I wonder if I’m only hurting people with my Sagittarian arrows. I don’t mean to. I expect people to be just as honest with me. In cyberspace, the printed word is interpreted differently when you don’t have the facial expression or vocal inflection to enhance its true meaning. There’s where misunderstanding comes in. Or maybe it’s just my big mouth.

And I wonder why I have no friends in person, other than our buddy Jeff (whom I have hurt unintentionally with my words as well in the past).

Even my cyber friends are going, “WTF!!!”

Many times, I have dreams where there is some kind of disaster, and I’m trying to help everyone escape or take cover. I’m “directing” everyone to safety, if you will. It’s strange. I’m selfish in real life, by my own admission.

To everyone out there whom I have ever hurt in any way, please know I didn’t mean to. It’s just the “half horse” part of me coming out. If you believe in that stuff.

    Kathy dearrrr, you’ve never made me feel anything but friendship and appreciation…ever! I thank you and the stars above for your friendship. You’ve helped me through a moment or two in my life. I just hope I can repay your kindness some day. I would give you one of these in person, but this’ll have to do…
