The Depths of Despair


Hello friend(s)

It’s the genie here, hoping I find you well and full of bright-eyed optimism.  If so, can you lend me some?

Yes, it is Debbie Downer time, or perhaps I should say Suzie Sour hour.  Oooh, that reminds me, I got a new jacket:



Awesome riiiight??

Anyway, back to me wallowing.

If you may have noticed from my previous posts, I am not the most mature woman on the planet, to say the least.  

Yes, of course I am proud of that.  Duh!  Not the issue.  

Get this!  Someone actually said the words to me “Don’t try to be a kid, act your age.”  And worst of all, it was someone who I greatly respect and admire. 

So yeah, somebody… anybody… if you can hear me, be a pal and pull the stake from my withering heart.  

I mean, I’m sure this person meant it in the best possible way, like “Suzie, use your vast life experience to do great things”, which I would have been fine with.

But what I heard was: “Suzie, lose the sneakers because you look ridiculous”. 

So now I wallow.

And because wallowing in self-pity is always best accomplished on a moor, my wish is to find a vast windswept moor from whence I can look out into the abyss and stew until I ultimately give myself a mental slap, realizing that I’m being ridiculous and of course my sneakers are fabulous. 

Anybody know of any good moors in the GTA?
