Purposely Oblivious

There are things that go on that I know about but, happily, I never witness.

Today I saw something I’ve purposefully tried to avoid. It sucked the energy right out of me. I wanted to turn tail and run.
I survived. It wasn’t anything drastic to anyone but me. And those involved probably don’t even know, or care, how I felt (still feel).

Just another reminder that it’s time for me to move on.

The internal monologue that goes on whenever I cave to junk food.

This is most true about me and pizza.

Things change

I no longer make my “friends” laugh. They seem to be laughing at my expense.

Who listens to my problems? Nobody. When I bring them up, my “friends” check out. They stare at the TV, or decide they have to tell me about something they just read, or focus on a task that doesn’t require that much attention.

This isn’t a one way street. I’ve supported them in the past and am still there if needed. But sometimes I need an ear. I need some affirmation that I’m valued and cared for. Even if they can’t solve my problems.

Am I alone in feeling alone?

On the 15th anniversary of Sinatra’s death, LIFE considers a 1965 photograph that, all these years later, is notable precisely because the Chairman of the Board is so supremely oblivious to our gaze.
