It’s been way too long since I did this. I keep starting again by fits and starts. My efforts with another blog proved traumatic, as did so many efforts during my marriage to an emotionally abusive narcissist.
I may share more details as time goes by. In some ways I kind of hate to. Often I’m tempted to run away, leave all the stuff behind, all my mistakes, all the cruelties of society.
Just be a hermit.
But the wisdom of this age says that no man is an island. That we all belong to a global village. That no matter how far you run, you can’t get away from yourself.
So who am I? Likely a lot of folks have lost patience already and moved on to a blog with a cute dog or a supermodel, or where Ryan Reynold’s is singing about how he can be brown, blue, violet skies, hurtful, purple, or anything you like.
It is a catchy tune.
No, I didn’t steal a mouthful of bread. I was not sentenced to jail for 20 years for either a petty crime, or one I did not commit.
But for most of my life I have felt like a prisoner. First in an abusive youth. Then struggling with anxiety, depression, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Finally, in a 16 year marriage to Kali’s embodiment of passive aggressive bpd.
Well….quid pro quo Clarice. Who are you? What movie or novel character do you most identify with? Give me a Christmas miracle and tell me about yourself in the comments.
Thanks for reading, I hope to find a niche as I progress.

Boy—I identify with a number of characters in fiction——considering my love for books and musicals. There are even some movie characters I love

I am the same way, I identify with so many. All the way from the vengeful Phantom of the Opera to the saintly and forgiving Jean Valjean. What is your favorite book?

I’ve not seen Wicked, though I have heard I need to. But Les Mis is my all time favorite. I’ll never be half the man Jean Valjean was

I need to see Wicked someday. In what way are you like Elphaba? I identify with a lot of characters in fiction. The Phantom of the Opera, Cyrano de Bergerac, The Count of Monte Christo, The Man in the Iron Mask, V for Vendetta. The list goes on and on.

Elphaba:
Okay- just like her, I know what its like to be different (I have disabilities), so she was one of the first characters I came across who was different.
Other things are similar than that- I am big-hearted, impulsive, and believe in staying true to myself and equality.

I’m loving your commentary, man. And, yes! 100% see wicked (or read the book); it’s a great story which re-tells the narrative from a different character’s perspective.
