Talk Talk Talk

Gossip is idle talk or rumor, especially about the personal or private affairs of others.

Some people I know are going through some really sucky times right now. They are all part of the same small community, and their lives are heavily enmeshed in the community's life. Their sucky times are the object of a lot of... well, see the title.

When the chips are down, you can always count on one thing. Not help, not love, not empathy. You can always count on people wanting to talk about you, and especially what your drama means to them.

So, these people I spoke of, having a sucky time right now... I think at least some of them are in a lot of pain, and that makes me really sad. I like these people, and I miss their smiles. That's as far as I'm going to let myself go in terms of the relevance to me: I'm sad because I think they're sad, and I hope they are all going to be ok.

So don't worry about what it means to you. Pray for my friends and their families.
