Something Completely Different

Hmmmm. Did consider deleting yesterday's post out of fairness to Him, but sometimes life just isn't fair. So it can stay. But it is getting sorted now, and He's putting in a lot of work to make things better, so we'll leave it.

Just had the strangest experience. Was answering a post on a posting board I hang about on ocasionally when bored at work, which was 'what were the best years of your life?'. This is what I found myself writing:

"From the minute I left my evil, twisted school, and realised that not being rich, blonde and evil didn't make me a bad person after all. 11-18 were years of such incredible soul-destroying hell that everything afterwards, even the worst of times, has seemed golden in comparison."

After posting it, I wondered for a minute if I'd been melodramatic, and then thought no, actually, that really is true.

Funny, I've occasionally felt bullied as an adult (in my first job for example), but nothing like the incredible misery I experienced here: http://www.sevenoaksschool.org/Homepage_1.asp?category=3&id=15091 If you don't know what it feels like to be made to feel like you are worse than nothing, every day, then I really can't describe it to you. You actually wouldn't want to know.

So, not that I am much of a one for counting my blessings, at least at this nasty time we've been going through I can remember that it's still better than school.
