Who do I hold to some higher level of expectation? Who do I hold accountable for each syllable they let fall from their mouth?
On the other hand, who exists near and dear to my heart because I am somehow able to explain their faults? Who is it allowed to prick my sense of self-importance reaping the reward of my laughter and not my anger in the form of a defensive response?
Whose words do I listen to, perhaps consider changing my stance for, and whose words are assumed to belong to someone who just doesn't understand?
Personal choices based on what process of elimination? What motivates those choices? What fires are fueled by them?
What is gained? What is lost?

I know you have rough personal times, but even then it seems you go to great lengths to keep those times to yourself perhaps not wanting anyone to "suffer" at your expense.
Suffice it to say, you ALWAYS make me (and everyone else around you) smile.
Love you Mz Shelli~!
I just made a decision to poop.
And now I shall endure the consequences! The stinky, stinky consequences...
Hey! No pooping HERE!
How are you poopy?

John Lennon of course.
I think I have deleted those comments that conveyed more than you desire.
I am sorry that I am to you the type of person who without care fillets my loved ones for the world to see.
Might I add in my defense that practically all your anger defies the keeping your secret.
never mind that you have indulged in "laying me out" as you call it, but I think I deleted those too
Goodbye.
