Skepticism and Rewards

I've just migrated my blog from here to WordPress.

Initially I thought this was a weird choice but actually I'm quite happy with this. It means I no longer need to log in to my many google accounts simultaneously.

That's, of course, what happens when you get a YouTube account, a Gmail account and a BlogSpot account before Google has control over all three. And obviously, they now want you to link everything to one of their accounts. URGH! 

What's even more annoying is that I have an Italian blog (a sister to this one, albeit an elder sister) that I had to migrate from Live Spaces (when Microsoft decided to shut the thing down) and thought Blogger would be a better option. I guess it makes no difference at the end of the day. I don't actually write on the website editors!

Just so you know, on WordPress this blog is under waningmoonrelapse.wordpress.com [opens in new window/tab]. I would actually like to know which you prefer overall. I'm not bothered too much about "oh this one's Google owned, that one's based on Open Source software" but your experience of the blog. 

Another thing to bear in mind is the fact that on here I can edit the HTML directly for free whereas on WordPress I have to pay. 

So, which looks better? Which is easier to read? Which is easier for you to access and comment on? (Good grief! A microscopic red spider's crawling its way across my screen...random... and oh damn, trying to focus on the spider is making me see the individual dots making up my screen! Crazy times!)

And now that I've shown off my sleep-deprived randomness, I shall leave you to the rest of your day/night.

Friendship and getting things off your chest

It’s amazing how much someone can depend on sharing problems and talking when they’ve been involved in a relationship for a long time.

I’ve been in one for over 2 years and hearing that someone upset my partner and that she didn’t tell me through fear that it would hurt me as well as her really upset me last night.

 

But I woke up fine this morning…I thought.

Maybe it’s just a bad day, a day when the energy of the Earth is off balance or something like that, but by mid-morning I was in need of an intravenous endorphin drip – and that made me think…

 

Relationships are a lot like friendships, except for spending more time together as a couple (granted this isn’t always possible in a long-distance relationship).

Friends have a habit of looking out for each other, get along well, can occasionally fall out but can also sort out their differences for the better. Friends are there if you need to talk. They’re there if you need cheering up. Sometimes things don’t go well and all you want to see is a friendly face. Other times all you want to do is have your mind taken off your problems…

I’m just glad that the few people I really can call friends are amazing. I’m selective about who to call “friend”. I’ve been lonely most of my life and been disappointed more times than I care to remember…

All I’ve wanted to do is help people – their problems have always come before my own.

And so here I am, writing a blog, getting things off my chest so that anyone interested can read what I can’t seem to be able to say in person. Maybe it’s why I’ve become someone with such variable emotions…

Here I feel I can write anything I want where people can either judge me or help me out, slag me off or share their own thoughts and experiences. I look forward to reading a few comments. Comments from others really make a blog worthwhile.

Anyhow, here I am.

So sue me for wanting to be a friend you can rely on.

Until next time!
