Hello! I hope to come out of hiding soon. I feel like I may owe you an explanation, my world has been turned on it's ear, and my words have been stolen and re-packaged as ammunition... hence the bail out of my former posts. Tomorrow is another day. It is probably foolish quoting Scarlet O'Hara, even though I love that movie. Bare with me for a moment, why is that movie so good? I believe because the character, Scarlet, is so delightfully selfish and we find her so relatable to our modern selves, therefor it has real stay-power. Also, the love story between Scarlet and Rhett is incredible. This can only be the fortunate result of the widely known fact that Vivian Leigh and Clark Gable detested each other in real life and found it barely tolerable to eak out a scene together. Even more evidence for the thought that love and hate are not opposite but actually parallel and the true counterpart to love is indifference. But, I feel foolish for quoting it or even comparing myself to Scarlet because I did not nearly lose my home to dirty, yankee, carpetbaggers nor did I have to lie, cheat, steal, or kill to never go hungry again... in fact, by comparison I have it pretty charmed, that said I will refrain from commenting on Scarlet's or my track record with marriage because frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.
The weather is absolutely beautiful here in Tulsa, and as sure as I say it, I will inevitably regret it-- I cannot wait for summer! Bring on the Oklahoma heat, this has to have been the longest winter I have ever endured. Along with the gorgeous weather, I have lots of exciting plans and I will keep you posted. As always, be unnecessarily kind to everyone, you never know what they are going through.
Much love,
MAK
