An Oddity in Progress: Thank You






My blog, "I Want to Be Seen" engendered myriad responses.

To those whom I know that were validating and honest, I thank you.
To those whom I have yet to meet, I am glad that you find such interest and escape in my words.
To those whom I used to know, I thank you for your insight into my past and hope we can rekindle our friendship so you can see the man I am today.

Sharing a sliver of yourself on here is intriguing. You find out things about others and their perceptions about you and their ideas of who they think you are and who you were.

Fascinating when they are in opposition, validating when they are not...

There is a reason that the heading of this blog is "an oddity in progress"... I am a work in progress and sometimes I venture onto this blank screen and start with a problem and resolve or birth a plan of action by jotting it out, by using the words that I am so grateful exist.

So, a continued thanks for reading this, for commenting, for being a witness to my life.

Loving the Squiggly

I was typing the other day and instead of hitting the ! key I hit the ~ key. Two odd altercations happened between two friends and me via facebook so I have deactivated my account for a bit. It was hurtful and unexpected. So when I hit the ~ key it made me smile and forget all that nonsense. ~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dustin

And With This, Farewell

This blog has been a dear friend to me. I am not good at farewells, but truly this is anything but. I look at it like this - I love the phoenix, the symbolism of it all, the power of rebirth. Hence why I named my blog/musing screen after one. :-) So, I am leaving this particular blog to start another one, one that fits me NOW, the one that I can share in a new way. So this feels right. Thanks to those who have read my musings throughout the years. I hope you follow me to my new musing home entitled THE TWELVE THAT IS DUSTIN BAYLAN. Yes, I am changing the name, the story of that is on the new blog for you to read. Here is the link: http://dustinbaylan.wordpress.com/ Much love, much hope and joy again, much potential...

Holding the Key

Only I am solid ground. Those whom I love - the new, the familiar - can be my circle, my connections... but the connection to self is the key I have been missing. Peace fills me as I hold the key and begin to unlock the doors of my life. Only I am solid ground and I embrace the beauty of me. Dustin
