That everything has two sides..but are one

There is a song by Alanis Morissette entitled Everything. It was written of in a way to thank someone for standing by her, even though she's...well, human. The spectrum of the human soul is vast and ever changing. There is no constant. (I suppose for some there is a constant, but they are on strong meds and don't know it so....)

I've never been good at picking a way and staying that way. So I often really cherish those people that allow me to change and flow. I often will end up circling back, but letting me have the journey and still staying by my side is a gift. I only hope I allow others to be that way with me. We can't all be the happy friend or insightful friend or exciting friend or even the compassionate friend all the time. We all slip up. We all fail. I know I do all the time.

I'm working really hard at making this a good week. There is something I need to deal with I think, but I am hoping its nothing. Hope everyone is having a good week. I deem it so!

Everything ~Alanis Morissette

I can be an asshole of the grandest kind
I can withhold like it's going out of style
I can be the moodiest baby
And you've never met anyone whose
As negative as I am sometimes

I am the wisest women you've ever met
I am the kindest soul with whom you've connected
I have the bravest heart that you've ever seen
And you've never met anyone whose
As positive as I am sometimes.

You see everything, you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can't relate
And you're still here

I blame everyone else, not my own partaking
My passive-aggressiveness can be devastating
I'm terrified and mistrusting
And you’ve never met anyone as,
As closed down as I am sometimes.

You see everything, you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can’t relate
And you’re still here

What I resist, persists, and speaks louder than I know
What I resist, you love, no matter how low or high I go

I'm the funniest woman you've ever known.
I am the dullest woman you've ever known.
I'm the most gorgeous woman you've ever known
And you've never met anyone as, as everything as I am sometimes.

You see everything, you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can't relate
And you're still here

You see everything, you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can't relate
And you're still here

And you're still here
And you're still here...

The path seems a bit lonelier
Without you on it.
Memories become my sole companion
As I make my way around.
The green of the grass seems flawed somehow
And the trees appear solitary and alone.
The breeze whips around my face
Much stronger without you to help block it.
The quiet doesn't ease my mind
Only brings more questions.
Starting with why aren't you here?
