Despite the sweet lies we hear from the fairy tales read to us at bedtime! Of course gentle reminders are everywhere if only we look for them - such as the Norse tale of Balder who was loved by all but one - in his case, the trickster god Loki - the one person with resentment in his heart just plotting to take the shining icon down.
Dammit. You know someone has to go down!
Surely not as melodramatic a case for Neonatal Nate but the rule still applies here. Though he has managed to charm Fabulous Felix over to his side - not to mention with a lil bit of Yuletide magic - it seems as if not everyone's a fan. Quite the opposite in fact since Nate has been getting his fair share of hate mail lately.
No headless chickens or pin-stabbed voodoo dolls tacked to his door as yet - but with the occasional unexpected vitriol from his secret foe online, he does have good reason to get all blairanoid.
Now who would do that to Nate? What has he done to deserve this? Conspiracy theories run amuck of course from a jealous ex gunning for his blood to an entire motley crew of frenemies waiting to blacken his reputation.
Seriously. Back-stabbing and poison pen letters? Spurned lovers and clashing cliques? I'm seriously getting high school flashbacks.
Had my share of hate clubs back then of course. Wouldn't say I was a freaking saint after all! But in the past I used to agonize endlessly over the perceived enmity from my vocal detractors, wondering desperately how I could dispell the hostility!
Truth is there's nothing much we can do.
Some people are just meant to be at odds with each other. Neither rhyme nor reason can explain the hate sometimes.
Hell, even a little over a year ago I'd been on the top of someone's hit list. Of course Jaunty Jared quickly took over the spot which I was only too glad to relinquish. Just proves the point that hate can be irrational. If someone as genuinely loveable as sunshiney Jared ( seriously! ) could be hated by someone... then I'm sure I'll always be perpetually on someone's hit parade! And anyone else is fair game.
Poor Nate though. Bet he's feeling bewildered.

Ain't that the truth.
hink everyone have haters~ differences is, getting silent haters or getting expressive haters...
Hey, we can't always make other people happy, right? Isn't that the definition of insanity --- trying to make everyone happy?
We all know who we are and what we're worth. Let the haters go as they will; we walk our own path and the good folks do accompany.
And what gay, merry band we make! :D
Eh, william?
But it's fine, Jeremy. We always find friends somewhere :)
So poor Nate has to live with some... expression for a while, froggie.
Gay merry band it is, life! :)
