i am not lost...


Ok. i'm really not sure what it is with people lately but they seem to like to tell me that i am lost. i don't really know what this means. they refuse to explain themselves or make it so esoteric that i can't possibly follow what they're saying.

i am not lost.

i may not know exactly where i'm headed and i don't know exactly where i want to be but i know where i am and where i've been and i know where i don't want to be!!

i am not lost.

while i'm figuring a few things out and exploring new waters, i don't believe that this necessarily makes me "lost".

i don't claim to be found either but i am not lost. Or so i thought. So then i looked up lost....

Princeton (http://wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=lost) says:

  • no longer in your possession or control; unable to be found or recovered
  • confused: having lost your bearings; confused as to time or place or personal identity
  • spiritually or physically doomed or destroyed
  • not gained or won
  • incapable of being recovered or regained
  • not caught with the senses or the mind
  • bemused: deeply absorbed in thought
  • baffled: perplexed by many conflicting situations or statements; filled with bewilderment
  • helpless: unable to function; without help
  • doomed: people who are destined to die soon


Ok, so the first does not apply. I am most certainly possessed. LMAO. And i can be confused at times - but who isn't?? i certainly hope that i am not spiritually or physically doomed - what are these people, demented cruel psychics?? I don't think i fit the recovered definition. Now maybe that one about not having my mind - thats a distinct possibility but that's not very nice of them to say...on occasion i am baffled but not on a regular basis - and who isn't?...and i don't think i'm helpless - at least not totally. And the last one, gee thanks.
