Women in History Month - Week 4

If you have missed the other three weeks, you can check out the posts for week one,  week two and week three here!  If you are just checking in, go back to week one, as there will be challenges and things for the month that you can start with, and a challenge or two extra along the way!  I hope you join me in getting things documented, whether you do a page, a mini album, or a huge album...I hope you join me in celebrating women in our history!
We all have women in our history that have truly made us into who we are today - most are good I am sure!  Take this post for what it is - but I do want to talk about a couple of women who have made me into who I am today, but not necessarily in a good way!  Why do I document things that are not necessarily good - it helps to be able to put closure, and show not everything in life is a bed of roses, you always have thorns!
There are two women who are truly "one of a kind".....and I'm not talking in a good way!  It is funny how - when I talk about one person, the other one is almost the same..  A and B are their "names" - "who" they are don't matter really!  I'm sure we all have people in our past we don't connect with, or had to learn from...or whatever!  That is what these two women are for me - learning experiences (or something).  
A has been in my life for a long time, been in my home, laughed with me, cried with me, yet hated sharing, and hated me...  From the time I was a child - I lived in her shadows... she danced better than I did, she did this better than I did...  All I wanted is to be JUST like her - and yet instead...got a relationship from hell.  I see other people have relationships, but not me...  I got it for a few years, but - due to BS and attitudes, a death in the family - well you can say I won't ever be the same again.   
B, man what can I say about "B".  She taught me just how far one person will go to keep someone quiet.  She taught me how vindictive people truly can be , how rude they are, and how one-sided they really are.  She was able to show me how people will believe lies before they will believe the truth - and she taught me that things should stay between the people who created the issues, not a bunch of others.  
Out of any "women", these two have taught me more about life than I wanted to know.  I rather liked living in my little bubble...without dealing with drama, bitches, ho's and alcoholic's...(some wrapped up in the same body)!!!  It took me until recently - to actually understand not "all" women are truly like "them", and in some aspects - it's really NOT "me", but "them" with the issues.  
My "page" for the album will be more thoughts, not pictures...  I want to document the parts of past relationships that have helped me to become me.  I try to help out, not be so judgmental.  I try to get the story first...and I won't try to have relationships, when people won't allow me TO have relationships.  I am different now, mostly because of these two women - and that to me is so really sad.  Yet on the other hand, I wouldn't be as strong as I am right now - all because of issues, people and things!
I'm not sure about your relationships - the women in your life...  I'm sure you look and see all the other women in my life I celebrate, versus my family!  Check back next Sunday and you will see the last and final set of people I celebrate, but certainly not the last and final people for my book!  Some people I need pictures of - some, I just have to ask for pictures, and others - I don't want pictures added!

Thanks for stopping by,
