Unfiltered, Honest, and Loving Times of A Woman and her CRAZY, but Happy Life!!!

It's the day after Christmas and I am not going to lie it had to be one of the worst Christmas Day's I have ever had.  We have all had those days when there are many family members and here comes DRAMA.  Knocking at the door and begging to be let inside.  So what do I do I let DRAMA come right on in and he (and notice I said HE) brings a friend called TRUST.  Yelp, here they come walking in like they didn't have anywhere to be except my life. I have learned today that TRUST takes time.  I mean real TRUST.  I don't care if it's a friend, spouse, or child.  I immediately feel a connection with someone and for some oddball reason, I just assume they feel the same way back.  WRONG (Drama is laughing can you hear him?).   However, by the time I realize what I have done I have given away the farm, the livestock, and half the house (literally).  I am thinking WTH have I done.  I am kicking myself for giving too much to fast and wondering when will I ever learn my lesson.

That is one thing about being part of this "fandom" you really don't know the people you interact with well until maybe years after you have met them.  For me I may interact with someone everyday or a few times a month, but I only see them maybe a few times a year at a Con.  While at the Con your time is spent at panels, waiting in lines for Photo Ops, and Autographs.  Very rarely is there any quality time spent getting to know the other people you have met over Social Media.  Sure you may try to catch them during down time, plan a dinner, or a drink, but there are many moving parts. Then I have been blessed with people I consider some of my closest friends.  Not really because of our mutual love for Lana but because I have found that their hearts are most similar to mine.  They care about the things I feel passionate about or the causes and challenges that face our world seem to be the forefront of their minds as well.  They are the friends you could message at 2:00AM
