Disappointed

Often I get let down in life, just like you and everyone around you.

But enough is enough, I've been used and abused, far too often to allow it to continue any longer.

Time and time again, people offer to help with something and in reality they are only looking to gain either personally, professionally or financially. Enough is enough.

I don't play politics and I don't have an ego (So I'm told) My problem is I'm too trusting, too forgiving and I think it's time I changed all that and stopped being a super highway for other people's egos.

There is only so many times you can be used and abused. There are so many times you can lose your job because someone decides you make them look bad.

There are only so many times that offers of help are stymied by those only looking for personal gain.

There are only so many times, you can offer your hand in friendship to help others and they walk all over you.

Well starting today, things are going to change.

I always said that "You can only rely on you and you only" Well that is now so true, it's almost criminal.

I am beginning to understand why people turn into loners and Lonely old women with a 100 cats. I really can.

I have my darling husband, he'll keep me tethered and stop me turning into that mad woman down the street with a 100 cats, I'll make a concession and only keep 2.

I won't hoard animals, but I certainly won't hoard associates nor useless, using friends.

I'm sick of the tears, I'm sick of feeling angry and frustrated. I'm sick of feeling used and abused.

My ability to trust has slowly been eroded over the years and tonight was the last straw. my trust just collapsed into a chasm deeper than I thought possible.

My spirit might be broken, but my soul is still my own, no-one will ever own that.

AND if you are reading this from on the internet and I haven't met you in person. I'm sorry - but you don't rate in any of this. But I can't trust you until I meet you. End of story.

Not long after these photos were taken with a long lens, "Sammy' as he was known to the locals was put down by DSE for his own safety and safety of the public. First hand I know that he would bail people up at the boat washing facility looking for a free feed. If you look at the bottom photo in this set, his teeth are down to the roots and must have been causing him severe pain. If you look at the top photo closely - you will see that his bottom lip is missing the 'lip' part, possibly due to impact with a boat or fighting. I also heard that he had jumped into a boat and threatened the occupants. Unfortunately a combination of old age, poor health and grumpiness caused his demise. In no way do I criticise DSE for their actions. They did everything to guidelines, unfortunately some people had been seen trying to approach 'Sammy' to get photo opportunities and this did cause many a great scare, and I wouldn't be surprised if he bit one (or maybe two) and this is just not on.

RIP Sammy, you will be missed. You've made many people laugh for many years!
