Over at Suddenly Routine she was accidentally included on an email list from a sorority. She posts some of those emails, which are HILARIOUS. One such golden line is "In the future don't be idiots." Good Stuff.
So, in that spirit I will share some post comments that I have received in the last week and selfishly kept rather than publish. These are supposedly from my ex's girlfriend's sister. (Did you follow that? Its kind of like a cousin's brother-in-law's neighbor.) I have never met her and don't even know her name. She is apparently my newest blog follower. Any site hit registers on the counter, right?
At first I didn't publish the comments because I wanted to keep the negative energy away. On this blog I vent about things from time to time because I know most of you can relate to my blunt honesty. But I like to mix it up with my goofball random stuff and kid stories too. Sure I have some baggage, but who doesn't. My life is great. I don't want to be so heavy all the time. But today I can look at these comments with a new perspective. I think we can all learn a few things from these words, such as:
- Its important to have a hobby. Some people knit. Some people love movies. Some people blog. Some people sit in judgment of strangers.
- Kortney made her best decision ever when she removed herself and her awesome offspring from their previous situation to in turn create the wonderful bubble where they currently reside and thrive.
- God is rockin', cool and loving. Unfortunately all people who use his name are not.
COMMENT 1:
You clearly have a lot of issues to post such awful things about your children that other's can read!!! Maybe a therapist is what you need and not a site to BITCH about everything under the sun~~you should be ashamed of yourself for airing issues that any so called CHRISTIAN should seek out others vs. posting such crap on the internet for random people to read!! Disgusted!! I don't even know you and your a person that needs major help!! I have worked in a facility where kids are there because of ding bat parents (such as yourself) screw with their heads!!! You are one such parent! I pray for you and hope one day you will appreciate your children~~God has given you children and asks that you PROTECT them! You are doing no such things!!! Please find some respect for yourself and them and get your life together.
COMMENT 2:
No need to welcome Jorja ~ It's her sister who was given the heads up that you have a BLOG and that you have nothing better to do than write about how awful your life is !!! I was curious to see if it was as bad as she said!! Ha and yep it's what you call ridiculous that you'd air all your dirty laundry for absolutely ANYONE to read! Please give your kids the curtosy and keep them out of the view for others to read! I really feel sad for them! You bad mouth their father and have the nerve to act as if he is such a bad person! My gosh I think he looks like a SAINT compared to you!!
COMMENT 3:
Gag me!! You still continue to post such crap!! It's appauling and sad that you'd don't keep your stuff and issues quiet!! I read your blog to get a good laugh!! Freedom of speach is amazing and that you would hide my comments is funny!!! Maybe you realize that what you post should be positive and uplifting vs. oh poor me I've been wronged so I'm depressed!! You need to get over your ex and find FAITH in God vs. Fear!!! God wants you to put the past behind you so he can do GOOD things for your future!! An amazing book that may help you with your struggles, Failure is not the End by Dennis Leonard! You should read it, may help you see that God can't bless those who continue to hold onto their past and All their resentments. Forgive and you will be set free to live a live full of joy!!
Whew. I am so uplifted. This woman clearly wants me to have joy in my life and wishes me the best in Christian love. That's what I'm supposed to take from this right?!
Insanity = Entertainment. I love my "random people" from blogworld. You see my honesty and vulnerability in my words. You relate. You enlighten. You give me wisdom. You encourage.
And you laugh with me when its the only thing you can do. Thanks for reading.
The copay is in the mail.
Wow. Just wow. In love with the exclamation mark much?
ReplyDeleteAlso... spell check is a good tool. She might want to check it out sometime.
"Get over your ex"--what?? I'm so confused. Who is MORE over her ex? And what strikes me is if she hates it (and you, seemingly) so much, WHY DOES SHE KEEP READING??!! She puts so much energy into commenting, it's strange. I find this whole thing so strange and crazy. Oh, how fun certain "Christians" are...I truly feel God's love.
ReplyDeleteI can see Mandy Moore here...
"I'm FILLED with Christ's LOVE!!!" (Chucking a Bible at people)
Now THAT'S funny. :)
If God is love, and this lady represents God, then I have no choice but to quote Bon Jovi and tell her, "You give love a bad name!"
ReplyDeleteHmmm. Someone is deeply troubled, Kortney, but I don't think it is you. Poor woman. Her remarks lead me to believe that she suffers from a bitter and embattled spirit.
ReplyDeleteOne of the most insidious maladies of our time is the tendency in most to observe rather than act, avoid rather than participate, not do rather than do, the tendency to give in to the sly, negative cautionary voices that constantly counsel us to be careful, to be controlled, to be wary and prudent and hesitant and guarded in our approach of this complicated thing called living. (Arthur Gordon A Touch of Wonder)
ReplyDeleteThe intimidated often becomes the intimidator. As Mark Twin said, They were good in the worst sense of the word." Ignore the rantings.
These comments remind me of when i was getting divorced. Human nature falls easily into blame and judgments. But with all the challenge comes an opportunity to rise above and come out stronger in the end. My prayers to all of you.
ReplyDeleteI agree with JB. 8 years ago this week I got divorced. I took the high road and have never once regretted it.
ReplyDeleteYou gotta just feel sorry for the nasty people.
Thanks everyone for your comments and I have to wholeheartedly agree. It is REALLY tough to take the high road sometimes, so I guess thats partially why I have my blog. I don't walk around bashing my ex to my children, to my town, to family, etc. So it feels good to yell "THATS NOT FAIR" in cyberspace from time to time.
ReplyDeleteI do know that my children will grow up and likely realize how hard it was to hold my tongue, but they will respect me for it. Thanks for the encouragement to stay on the right path!
When I was getting divorced and my ex was so awful, my shrink said he will continue to be an angry man until he takes responsibility for his part in the divorce. Twenty five years later, he's still an angry man.
ReplyDeleteI like that way of putting it, 'the high road.'
We walk it for ourselves for the quality of life we want. I think people only chose the 'low road' out of unawareness and ego.
All you can do is laugh Kortney. Reading her words I got the feeling that she thought she was helping but it was so negative... I feel sorry for her. I suspect she has very few "real world" friends.
ReplyDeleteI've shared my thoughts with you before, but I just have to say - all!!! the exclamation!!!! points!!! really help!!!! her case!.
