Contacting Lost Family

Hell week has begun! At least that’s what I call it because it is for me, it’s May Day.  For the last few years and 7 if you want to be exact, this marks the beginning of a season in my calendar year.  To further understand that one, you must think of a season as a period of time and not winter, spring, summer, and fall. It’s more like a religious season which can last anywhere from a few days to a few months.  If you subscribe to Christianity, then think about  the seasons of lent, advent, Easter, epiphany and the like. (It should be noted that I do not recognize those seasons as I recognize my own and that’s what this is about…your seasons may vary.

At this time, we are discussing the season known as Hell Week which is part of the greater season of Hell Month which is not in any way a calendar month but rather a period of time that goes from roughly May 1 to the Sunday that comes after June 8.  This season happens every year. It was once a time for celebration but now it is no longer because one of the principle parties is no longer with us. She has transcended into nothingness and is no longer bound by her mortal confines.  She was once one half of an equal partnership but is no longer. She is not of this earth anymore. She has not reached a higher plane of existence as there is no higher plane of existence. This life is the only one that any of us get. Once it’s over, it’s done and we are to be interred back to from whence we came…ashes to ashes, dust to dust, and the like.

I’m so sorry to paint such a grim picture but that is the truth and sometimes the truth really hurts.  If you, my dear reader, are one of those whom believes that it will get better in the afterlife, I regrettably need to inform you that tomorrow is not promised for anyone and that also includes me. In full disclosure, I’m not at all clairvoyant nor do I claim to know what’s going to happen in the next minute, hour or day. I come to you all speaking a truth that I have come to know which is backed by years of miscellaneous research that no one else that I’ve found seems to conduct.  I urge you all to do your own research and find your own truth.  

If you are looking for truth here, you’ll get a version of it but if I were you, I wouldn’t take my word for it. While I can recite many facts, I will never, ever claim anything that I say as truth in the absolute. For it is up to you, dear friends, to uncover the truth for yourself.  Forget what the church tells you as they have their own agenda. Use the scientific method and find your truth. I will guarantee that your truth might differ but the differences aren’t that much at all.

Eventually, you will see that what they’ve been telling you is based on nothing but their own motivation to control you. 

It’s time to break free my friends,

Cyn

Are you a Reason, a Season, or a Lifetime?

Someone…and I use that term lightly because she’s not just someone but rather my second cousin asked me about this the other day. I think this blog sums it up and especially the unknown quote at the end. It’s either a reason, a season or a lifetime. I’m sure you all know people in your own lifetime that fit in one of those categories. For me, I’m glad I had the opportunity to meet my cousin. That relationship to one another should be one of those that lasts a lifetime. I suppose only time will tell. Love you, B, for all that you are…don’t ever change.

I just got back from attending a farewell party for a good friend of mine who will be working in Africa for at least one year. We met at work over fifteen years ago and have been friends ever since. We’ve been there for eachother through good times, and not so good times — divorce, marriage, raising kids, moves, illness, and job changes. Even though she will be living far away, I know we will keep in contact. I consider her a lifetime friend. Thinking of her leaving reminded me of all the moving around I did as a military brat. I was always leaving friends or getting left because they moved. It was never easy, and it didn’t get easier as time went by. There were always tears, followed by sadness, and sometimes just a deep feeling of lonliness. You keep in contact for awhile and then one day…

I Don’t Understand People 

Seriously, I really don’t!…and I’m woman enough to admit it!

In my own experience, I’ve found this fact to be true.  It never ceases to amaze me how screwed up we all are. 

I don’t think that we should continue down this path; Do you?   

Would you like to change it up…and I mean really change it up?

Catching Up With Old Friends 

Where do we begin? The last few days have been quite, well let’s just call them days because that’s all the were and now there gone and done with and Reverend Doctor Cyndi is winding down all by her lonesome at the home bar because, well, it’s the home bar and she comes here to relax and leave the world behind because that is the whole reason for the home bar’s existence…well, that and to make money for Mike and Gigi.  While M&G do make a lot of money owning this place, they deserve every penny because it’s more like they are doing some sort of backwards and roundabout kind of community service in the owning of this place and all the chaos that occurs here which is probably why this place is called Chaoz but then again maybe not because chaos is bad because there’s no order whatsoever which is kind of like anarchy which also sounds like a great idea but then the less than intelligent people hear something about it then pervert it to suit their needs and the real people who actually know what social anarchism is actually supposed to be about, suffer while having to abide by bullshit laws put in place in an effort to idiot-proof our society because I don’t know about you, but that’s an impossible task because there’s just too many of them out there.

Ultimately, what was once a great idea morphs into Molotov Cocktails and mass violence or basically in a word: Chaos, or rather Chaoz because lately we find it to be a lot better if we change one letter to really fuck with people because the English Language is really difficult and there are a lot of bullshit rules that go along with it and RDC does her best to butcher it in her own way but then again, doesn’t because all of her posts are just a string of run-on sentences that somehow come together as one thought or something like that but I digress because that’s not what this whole thing was supposed to be about in the first place.

The point of this blog entry is about the stories we get from dealing with old friends if I can call them that insomuch as to say that I might have considered some of these assholes to be friends at one point and time but then realized that I was a much better friend to them as they ever were to me and when the chips were down and RDC had to make some changes in her life for the better, they were nowhere to be found so ultimately they had to be cut loose because just like the Queen of Rock and Roll proclaimed, “you don’t lose when you lose fake friends”…and that’s ultimately what they were, so no love lost here.  

As for here, let’s go back to Chaoz just because every story has a beginning and in the beginning there was chaos until something exploded from out of nothing and I know that you’re probably thinking that totally violates the laws of astrophysics but that’s the story we’re all led to believe as the truth unless you’re one of those screwy people who actually believe there was some all knowing deity that lived in the nothingness and decided to create a bunch of shit for his own amusement because we all know that something is better than nothing; or so they say. Of course to a lot of the less educated, that story sounds so very wonderful because they like to think that the world is only 5000 years old and man and the dinosaurs used to be friends which is no way possible because I’ve seen Jurassic Park, and I’d have to say it’s pretty dead on in its assessment of man-dino relations because it’s not like The Flintstones and we didn’t used to ride these things because roughly 65 million years separated our respective existences, and on top of that, if you’ve ever thought that a T-Rex would make a good friend, you’d be wrong; actually you’d be dinner or rather a light snack and the T-Rex would go on looking more of your friends, as only then it would seem more like a meal because we’ve all been to 50 cent hot-wing night and we all know you have to get at least 6 because you can’t just eat one, nor will the bar sell you just one and that special never happens at the home bar anyway, because they don’t have that special which is why I go to a different bar on Tuesdays and while that sounds chaotic, it’s not Chaoz at all.  

Isn’t it wonderful how RDC is able to begin her story at the dawn of time and bring it full circle to present day?  Y’all are so very welcome! I’m here to help. Let’s get back to the story: last Thursday I wound up at the home bar again…I know, I know, it’s seems rather odd for me too, but that’s where it went down as it usually does. I started the night with some wings and talked to one of the servers who was there on her off night just hanging out because it’s just a cool place to be and far better when I darken the door with my presence. Not long after the night began, I noticed an ex-girlfriend but snubbed her because she was there with her boyfriend and I just didn’t want to get involved. A short while later, she came up to say hello and asked why I didn’t say something first.  Why? the answer probably has something to do with the fact that we used to fuck five years ago and then it was over and she went back to the dumbass because they had “history” together and I was just a fling that she still thinks about and I’m pretty sure regrets her decision as she’s stuck with him and I’ve moved on.  After a brief exchange in which this was said, the conversation was over…or was it?  Not exactly.  As beer and jäger-bombs tend to do, nature called and it was off to the restroom for some relief. I did what I had to and when I got out of the stall, there she was. As there was some confusion as to why I was in the bathroom, I explained that I have a letter which gives me every right to be in there.  Somehow the old memory overcame us and we realized we were alone and then proceeded to start making out right there in the ladies’ room.

As she was pinned up against the door as so nobody else could come in, I realized that a piece of wood was all there really was between us (both back then and now if you catch my meaning) and her dumbass boyfriend just outside, holding his stick and clueless as to what was going on a few feet away.  I hold no shame in this and it’s not my fault that his girlfriend is a slut but I guess the moral of this vignette has to be: ignorance is bliss…and it’s not just him either because there’s a lot of ignorance out there in the world and maybe we shouldn’t rock the boat too much and just let all of the morons out there be blissful in their ignorance because they’re better off not having to deal with the fact that there are some truly intelligent people in the world and they are not one of them.  

Lucky for you, you have followed along  with this so far and can count yourself as being intelligent too, and you should count your lucky stars that you possess that trait.  Sometimes being smarter than the masses can seem kind of lonely but you have to trust me on this one; better to be who you are than to dumb yourself down in order to get along with the masses. 

So there’s some food for thought for you. Sometimes the teachings of RDC go kind of long and I think that’s enough for today. Well, that, and were out of time for now but check back tomorrow and we’ll conclude this twisted tale because there’s a lot more to come and this was only last Thursday night.  Besides that, these things take time and Reverend Doctor Cyndi’s divine thumb is a little tired of typing now.  

Have a great night and see y’all later!

Stalking your Ex???? What the fuck???

First off, if you fall into this category, the only advice I can give you is to cut your losses, move on and get a life.

I come from a place in that if my ex is stalking you right now, you have much bigger problems going for you because my ex is DEAD and has been so for the last 7 years…but what about yours? I’m sure it was supposed to be much different but it wasn’t. That person saw your flaws and couldn’t deal with it. If you want to know why that relationship failed, all you have to do is look in the mirror. It’s not totally their fault. Most of the blame is on you. Deal with your own shit and get on with your life on your terms.

Doesn’t it sound so simple??? Why is it so problematic? Sometimes in life we all fall into this predicament…even Reverend Doctor Cyndi. Why can’t we let go of our previous loves? Was it the personality? Was it money? Was it just a big dick or a sweet piece of ass?

Love strikes is all when we least expect it. Will you take that chance?

Radio

In addition to the blog here, I also cohost an Internet radio show/podcast called:

The Best Morning After Ever

The show stars my friend John St. John.

John and his lovely cohost tackle all kinds of topics and we put our spin on as to try and make people laugh. The best way to describe it is a morning zoo crew show. We have a lot of fun doing the show and we hope to build an large audience and get on terrestrial radio some day. As for now we can be heard mornings on:
Slam Internet Radio
Spreaker
iTunes

This page is currently under construction and I will try and post some links sometime soon

Reverend Doctor Cyndi on Intelligence

So you think you’re smarter than the rest of us?

Here’s your chance to prove it.
What do you know?
I’m not asking for opinions here; I want you to tell me what you know and how you can prove it.

You got the question?

Your turn…answer….go!!!

Who really is the smartest in the land?

What do the smart people want to know more about?

You have the floor; please enlighten us to your wisdom.

That’s Miss Tinkertrain to you

Sorry for leaving you all high and dry for the last few days because I know just as well as you do that you need your daily dose of Reverend Doctor Cyndi almost as much as she needs her daily dose of Jaegermeister because it doubles as cough medicine and doesn’t taste much better…that, and it helps her get to that special place of understanding that makes dealing with all of you and your drama a lot more easy to swallow, not unlike Jaegermeister which of course is best when mixed with a shot of Whiplash, which is kind of like Red Bull but tastes a little better because Red Bull has a unique taste, and I think that taste is derived from a red bull’s ass. On the other hand, Whiplash is way cheaper because it can be shot from a gun and is, apparently, only available at the home bar of which I was at on Saturday night and had a wonderful time as always enjoying three dollar bombs.

I’m sure I can go on and on about the virtue of three dollar bombs at Chaoz, and I probably will at some point in the future, but that time is not now, so I digress.

As for this post, we will be talking once again about Ozzy and how he relates to all of our everyday lives…either that or how Ozzy relates in no way to our daily lives. I’m sure the answer to that deep question is somewhere between the two, so now you know and have been forewarned that this just might be yet another time when Reverend Doctor Cyndi goes off on one of her nonsensical trips that leave us all confused about how Ozzy got dragged into this one, yet again.

Today’s story begins pretty much where we left off last time and if you don’t remember when that was, you’re not alone because neither do I, so let’s just skip past a week ago Friday because I had a bad day then when Wells Fucking Fargo put a hold on my paycheck that I deposited the week before, resulting in me having to take time out of my busy day to try and get their mess straightened out, of which nobody (and by nobody, I mean Tanisha at the call center, the girl who spoke English as a second language, and the other one who I’m not going to pick on because I think she was retarded…or maybe just looked like it) had a straight answer for anything except what the computer was telling them and they aren’t permitted to think for themselves because not only is it policy, but also because that would require thought that was more than their little brains could handle.

Anyway, I’d love to spend more time discussing the retards who work at the bank but that’s just a sign of the times and essentially was so last week and Wells fucking Fargo finally made things right after they took their sweet ass time correcting this problem of mine which really wasn’t mine because it was actually a problem of Bob’s or more importantly Bob’s problem because somebody else wrote him a bad check which caused him to be overdrawn and therefore his bank wouldn’t honor the check and I still have no idea what the FDIC actually does because aren’t they some kind of insurance company that’s tied into the not-at-all-Federal Reserve?

All of these questions led to a very in depth study into how the banking system in this country works and after a few hours of google searches, I was able to conclude the the banking system simply doesn’t work at all because it is way too big and as we all know, the bigger it is, the harder it falls, but somehow there are a shitload of bureaucrats out there that are worried about keeping their jobs so they can provide for their retarded children and their wives who are social climbers and are cheating on them because there is always somebody else who is doing better in life than the loser husband that they have and maybe she’ll actually find that guy but in the meantime she is content with cheating on you with a guy who makes a few dollars more and then she gets knocked up and tells you that she’s pregnant and you’re left wondering how the hell this happened because she and I haven’t had sex in six years, but then before you know it, it’s 9 months later and the baby is born and you now have to spend your time explaining to others how much you love your baby and how it’s totally yours even though the baby looks kind of Asian and neither you or your wife are.
Trust me, it happens all the time.

Of course you can always tell people that you adopted your baby from Korea and people will probably believe you because they now think you’re a great person because you are giving some poor down-trodden Korean orphan a better life in America and you’re like some kind of super parent who deserves the highest of accolades because you have chosen to expand your family because there’s always more love to go around and you can positively impact the life of that child by removing him from those nasty Koreans who we conquered way back in 1953, supposedly, but that was just a ruse to take their babies and make them build us Hyundais which used to be real shit and sold solely on the virtue of their warrantees but now are actually pretty dependable cars that people who are bad drivers buy because they’re too cheap to pony up the extra money for a Corolla, in which at least you’d now have a little bit of status because you bought a Toyota which is of course the American Dream.

If y’all haven’t figured it out by now, owning Japanese products is the American Dream and I used to know several rednecks in the Deep South that would agree because that was the entire reason for that whole ” War of Northern Aggression” thing in which some people are still bitter about because those few years completely destroyed the dream of really, really cheap labor and that whole flag thing is more about heritage than it ever was about hating people just because they look different but nobody seems to see it that way anymore because all of those southern people that I know now wouldn’t be caught dead driving a car from GM or Ford because those cars have poor quality because they are made by workers who belong to the Union and that just sounds, well, bad, to the southerners because the Union screwed them 150 years ago which is why they don’t kowtow to the unions down there anymore and have thrown the General Motors out in favor of working for General Kai-shek who is actually Chinese and not Korean but is of little consequence because the Chinese look similar to the Koreans and they pretty much own one of the Koreas, so that whole war thing was kind of in vain because it was really just a conflict and I can see why uncle Gord was pretty pissed off about it…it’s like saying he killed those zipperheads for nothing…did he?

I don’t think that he did and will contend that the whole Korean Conflict should probably be forgotten because if we fuggetaboutit then we can rewrite history and nobody wants to spend any time remembering the Forgotten War of which it is now, because most of those guys are now dead, like uncle Gord, who was deeply scarred from his experience and consequently died many years ago and went out holding his cock, which I was unlucky enough to witness, almost to say screw all of you, including but not limited to the only family he had left, leaving his small fortune to Catholic Charities which is one of the most evil organizations in the whole world although it’s disguised as a good thing because one of the ways they make a lot of money is by redistributing babies to people who have enough money to pay them.

Is anybody else seeing how wrong this is, right about now? Kind of like that new kid that showed up, and you have to now support, so you don’t look like a complete asshole because you married a woman who is a whore who got knocked up by someone else because you’re just a meal ticket with an inadequate penis that shoots blanks. I hope you’re happy driving your Hyundai but please get out of my way…signed, the minivan behind you…yeah, you see me, move it. The speed limit says 55 but we all know that it’s really 80.

In conclusion, what goes around, comes around and it’s called karma, so try and be a good person although it’ll probably not get you any bonus points with my colleagues without faces…that’s what they’ve told me.

Right about now, your probably asking what Ozzy has to do with this and again, the answer is: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

You just spent more time wanting to know about Ozzy and I wasted a few more minutes of yours because I know you have superfluous time on your hands and that is the crux of my work here on earth.

I promise that the next entry to this misadventure will have something to do with Ozzy. There are eleven songs on the NO MORE TEARS album, and by my count, we’ve covered four or them. If we subscribe to common core, there might be 7 more coming and maybe even more if my day job sends me back up to Rockturd and the HPB outlet has another album I can buy for two bucks. You have been forewarned!!!

With Love,
Reverend Doctor Cyndi

Happy Fucking Thanksgiving

As we all might remember, I really don’t consider myself to be a really big fan, but I was just listening to some more Ozzy this morning. (I know, I know, power chord, power chord here we go…again)
Right about now, if you’re thinking that this is going to be another long and rambling post about Ozzy, you might be right but I’ll contend that you’re wrong because this just might have something to do with Ozzy but you won’t know that until you follow along with this Crazy Train of thought and neither of those songs were the song that touched me so much this morning which was actually late last night but I’ve been burning the candle on both ends lately and one day seems to run into another which leaves me with very little free time, and now that I have just a little free time because it’s a holiday, I’m taking a few moments to waste some of your time, because I’m pretty sure that you have plenty.

It’s not like you’re cooking the turkey because I know you’re not because that’s your mother’s contribution to the day and speaking of her, please say hello to your mother for me.

That being said, if you happen to run into Mark Wahlburg today, please don’t tell him that I was making fun of him and stole his line. I’ve heard that he doesn’t like it when people do that and I think that we’re all in agreement on the fact that the last place you want to be is on Mark Wahlberg’s shit list and I’m not talking about the one you’re thinking of because I’m sure I wasn’t the only one who saw The Happening, and I don’t know about you, but I was really pissed when I wasted 2 hours of my life that I’ll never get back while waiting for, at the very least, something to happen during that pile of shit. Instead I’m talking about his other shit list…remember when Marky-Mark was mad at Andy Samberg even though nobody remembers who he was because aside from those digital shorts he did on SNL and that steaming pile of crap, Hot Rod. I think we’ve all forgotten about that guy.
Who the fuck is Andy Samberg anyway?

That’s exactly the point I wasn’t really trying to make here because sometimes I go off on strange tangents that have nothing to do with the real meat and potatoes of the story which is of course what Thanksgiving is all about, and I can’t believe you all didn’t catch that earlier because it just isn’t Thanksgiving without turkey and some potatoes and pumpkin pie which seems to be all the rage but I still find it hard to find anyone who actually likes pumpkin pie but nevertheless, the pumpkin industry keeps trying to cram it down our throats even though no one likes it…kind of like Andy Samberg.

While most of the rest of us stand here, scratching our heads on that one, there probably is at least one person out there that actually likes him and that someone is probably his mother, so if you see Mrs. Samberg today, say hello to her for me.

Thanksgiving is all about family and we should all give thanks for our mothers because without them, you wouldn’t have a family and that is what Thanksgiving is all about; either that or it’s about drinking too much so at least spending time with people you may or may not be related to, is at the very least, bearable…that, and football and shopping, but we’ll discuss that in another post because this one is about Ozzy and turkey.

But what does Ozzy have to do with Thanksgiving, you ask?
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!

Right about this time in our twisted holiday tale, you’re probably thinking: ahh, shit, she did it again but now that you have invested all this time, you should probably keep on reading because there just might be a real nugget of wisdom somewhere in here. When I say nugget of wisdom, I mean that’s exactly what it is because finding anything of value in this tale is kind of like finding gold, in that it’s rare, and not the type of thing you just see lying around, so keep your eyes open because it’s coming sooner or later, maybe.

If you all recall, Ozzy once sang a song about his mama and how he was coming home or something like that. Now, I don’t know Ozzy’s mother but I can only guess that she is a wonderful woman and we all owe her our gratitude for giving us Ozzy because he has given us so much food for thought, which should be pretty obvious by now. So there’s just one more thing to be thankful for, so if you see Ozzy’s mama, say hello to her for me.

Let’s all take a moment of quiet reflection that I’m going to just wind up talking through anyway and give thanks for all of our mothers. If you’re anything like me, you should consider yourself to be very lucky because you have two mothers and maybe even a mother-in-law or two too. If you’re a little confused at this point in time, you’re not alone because I’ve been confused about how that happened because my two mothers are not lesbians, not that there would be anything wrong with that.

I have two mothers because I’m adopted and that tends to complicate things, as one of them is very much my “real” mother as she has taken care of me all my life and the other one is real only in the sense that she is a real piece of work. The other one, or as some would call her, my birth mother, because she was the one that shot me out of her snatch, doesn’t seem to think that event alone is enough for her to call herself a mother and had once told me that my mother “was the one who brought me home from the hospital.” It was only my dumbfounded state at that time, which stopped me from administering the much deserved punch in the mouth that she deserved. I have not spoken with her since but I did send her an email to wish her a happy Thanksgiving but it was so loaded with F-bombs that I doubt she’ll respond because she is a lowlife and a miserable excuse for a human being. In any event, if you see her today, while I feel sorry for you to be subjected to that, please ruin her fucking Thanksgiving and say hello to my mother for me.

There is no need to say hello to my real mom because all of her loved ones, including yours truly, are with her today celebrating the holiday. She didn’t cook today because everyone’s getting older and it’s just a hassle, so we went to Butterfield instead, and it was probably for the best because they put on quite a spread. I highly doubt that my incubator had as nice of a time as I did because there’s no way she was at the country club which is really really nice because it’s a private equity club and the high cost of membership really keeps out the riffraff if you know what I mean.

If you don’t know what I mean, I’d really rather not explain it to you, because it’ll just fly over your head because what is normal activity for Reverend Doctor Cyndi, is probably anything but normal for you. Please don’t think that just because you weren’t at the club today, you’re riffraff because I didn’t say you were, nor would I say that either…at least I wouldn’t say it to your face. The truth is, I don’t even know you, so how could I form an opinion about you?

See how that works. I hate to burst your bubble but the whole world does not revolve around you. There are people in this world who don’t know you and probably couldn’t care less that they don’t know you. Lucky for you, Reverend Doctor Cyndi is not one of those people and she does care about you and wants to help you become a better person…either that or she wants to help you get out of her way because you’re slowing down forward progress and now you know why that minivan behind you is riding your ass, so step on it, green means go.

As this Thanksgiving day comes to a close, it would behoove you to reflect on the lesson that I’m doing a really piss-poor job at teaching, if you can call it that because I’m almost ashamed to put my name on it, but then again, there’s got to be some name attached to it and that’s got, yet again, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH OZZY.

Perhaps the lessons learned from Ozzy are not that good and Reverend Doctor Cyndi needs to go back up to Rockturd and visit the Half Price Books Outlet and see what else she can find for two bucks. One never knows what they’re going to find there and maybe if we’re lucky we’ll find Bark at the Moon or something. If I remember correctly, they did have it on vinyl, but since Dodge stopped putting record players in their minivans, that wouldn’t do me any good.

Sometimes I manage to confuse even myself and if you’re not then good for you. Reverend Doctor Cyndi is here to help all of you become better human beings…when I say all of you, that means all of you; even Mark Samberg and Andy Wahlberg.

I’m going to wrap this up now because it’s probably enough mental torture for one day so we should all give thanks that I know when to say when. Besides that, there are plenty more lessons we can learn from Ozzy and we’ll just have to wait until tomorrow for them…or maybe the next day. I have to get up early because the stores open at 5:00 am and there’s probably some good deals out there on a bunch of crap I don’t need.

Until then, have a good night, and sweet dreams. Sleep soundly knowing that Reverend Doctor Cyndi has got the night watch covered because she is hyper-vigilant, just as most adoptees are. She doesn’t sleep well and never dreams anymore because most dreams eventually get shattered and we all remember that the last Reverend Doctor who had a dream, got shot; which is exactly why I she doesn’t do it anymore.

Have a Happy Fucking Thanksgiving Everyone!

Flip the Script

I am an adoptee and not proud of it.
Being an adoptee causes me a lot of pain every day.
I think about my mother (my first mother) every day.
I wish I wasn’t adopted but that decision was made for me and not by me, as I never would have asked for this.
After searching for many years, I eventually found my mother and in the process found out that I was not welcome back.
There’s a lot of pain on her end as it was difficult news for her to hear that her lost son looks and acts a lot more like a long lost daughter.
Nevertheless, that gives me very little comfort to not be accepted by that one person who is supposed to love you more than anyone else in this world.
I wish I could say it better, but sometimes, being adopted really sucks.
More often than not, our births were unplanned, unintended and bordering on unwanted inconveniences for our mothers.
Again, it is of very little comfort to say that.
Adoption touches us all but so many of us don’t think twice about it and expect adoptees to be grateful to be alive.
At the core of it, when we were born, money changed hands and we were nothing more than a commodity.
Apparently, our original identities and heritage didn’t matter to anyone because we all ask that question: what does a baby know anyway?
The answer is simple, a baby knows it’s mother.

As the month of November (also recognized as National Adoption Awareness Month) comes to a close I would like to thank my fellow adoptees and natural mothers everywhere for doing a great job at giving the real other side of the story; the side that explains loss and heartache for without loss there would be no adoption and no heartache.

My heart goes out to all of the adoptees and mothers who have lived this horror. You did nothing wrong and you don’t deserve it.

To those who still are in the fog, it is not easy to come out but I urge you all to do so. Find your mothers and find your lost sons and daughters and above all, welcome them into your lives. It’s worth it.

Thanks again to all of us that are working hard to #flipthescript
Until we speak out about this, no changes will be made.
