Your Biggest Surprise?

[The People]

A few weeks ago we were in the midst of a hole caused by side effects of a BP med. We were grumbly and defensive and tired. There was a sudden awareness that this was the me people saw sometimes. The ones who got tired of us and walked away. The teenaged behaviour.

On our good days we are very kind and helpful, caring for others better than we care for ourselves. This is the side people see from a distance. Before we let them in. Once we let them in they become dangerous and the teens come out to defend us.

We felt very sad.
