Familiarity Can Bite Me

January13

You know that old saying? The one about familiarity? This one:

Familiarity breeds contempt.

I am still amazed at how true this is, despite the fact it makes no sense whatsoever to be spiteful to the people you are closest to. It just bewilders me. And when I’m on the receiving end of such contempt, it enrages me. I mean, who does he think he is, talking to me like that?

Who does he think I am?

It hasn’t been a real fun couple of weeks for me at the hands of he who is the most familiar with me of them all.

It’s gotten pretty damned old, actually.

I’m here because I’m lonely. I’m here because people who are lonely in the same way I am lonely have a very hard time finding each other. .

Being hearing impaired / deaf is lonely.
Having bipolar disorder is lonely.
Being an undergraduate student in your mid-thirties is lonely.
Being a Biblical Studies major is lonely.
Being infertile is lonely.

And even though it shouldn’t be, being desperately in love with God is sometimes the loneliest feeling there is.

So there it is. I’m dropping any attempt to be slick or intellectual or one of the cool kids. I’m just here to share the things I struggle with, the things I’m trying to understand and the things I am learning.
