Posted by Julie in : About a Julz , trackbackYou ever think “Hey, I’ve had a real shit couple of weeks, but I’m past them now. I’m emerging from the tunnel. Things are going to be okay.” and then a giant hand reaches down out of nowhere and smacks you upside the head?
Yeah, that’s kinda what’s happening here. I give you my horoscope for the day, which is so, so apt:
“Valid during several weeks: At its highest, this influence indicates an unusual degree of selflessness in love. In personal relationships, the need to care for someone else may mean that you will not get immediate gratification other than the pleasure of helping someone you love. If your relationship is basically sound, this influence will assure greater rewards of love and satisfaction later. Although this is a time for self-denial in love relationships, do not fall into the negative trap of playing martyr. Do not inflict on others, especially the ones you are helping, a constant awareness that you are “unselfishly” devoting yourself to them. This will undo your efforts and create trouble. If you cannot service with a true spirit of selfless devotion, do nothing.”
I generally don’t play the martyr, unless it’s for comedic effect. If you are my friend or loved one, I will give give give whatever you need without thinking twice. That’s just who I am. And so that’s what I’ll be doing. But it might mean (hell, it has meant) less energy for the blog for the moment. Then again, it might not, but I’m warning you, just in case. I hope you’ll all still be around when I’m able to pick my head up again.

Do what you gotta do, Cookie.
We’ll be here.
Yeah, you have to ask? Shit, Julz, we’ll be around. Take your time.
where else do I have to be?
Hey Julie–thanks.
I can’t see you being a martyr either. Making someone else a martyr by taking them out maybe, but not being one.
Meantime, anything you need, ask.
