I put out this story to you as a word of advice about what you put out on the internet…
An anonymous stalker from my past showed up at the beginning of this year. If you don’t think it’s scary when you have been successfully hiding from someone for the last 27 years who tried to ruin your life, you are in for a shock when it happens to you.
Perhaps this should go under the “Pearls of Wisdom” category? I will find another, more pointed story one day that perhaps might emphasize the point better and do that.
Does that make me a weird person that I had a stalker? No, not really. EVERYONE has had someone in their life they would rather left the planet…we just don’t have the Star Trek transporter technology yet to accomplish such a feat. I look at it as a part of life…we all have a vulnerable point in our lives into which things and people come that are unwelcome, and one day we stand up to that, stop running and tell them, “I am not afraid of you anymore.”. That has been my most satisfying, recent experience this year and it was AWESOME.
I have been told I am a strong woman…one not afraid to speak her mind. Perhaps the latter is true and always has been, but I did not become a strong woman until I faced down that man. I just wish every woman could learn that lesson in her lifetime.
More power to you who do and my prayers to those yet to.
