Emotional food for thought........
How is it that we travel through life,
blinded by the very things that stand before us?
We continue to encourage ourselves to do the
very things we know we shouldn’t?
Seldom taking action against those same things that,
deep down, we know damn well that we should?
How is it that we travel through life, never knowing
whether now is the right time to say what it is we need to say?
And even whether or not this is the right person
to say whatever it is we need to say to?
How is it – that despite all of the lessons we learn as children,
all of the advice we are given as teens, and through all of the
mistakes that we are supposed to have learned from …..
That we still carry so much self doubt and critisism of
ourselves, that we can never be free to express exactly what
we need to express to those whom we need to express it to?
Is the world so politically incorrect that we should offend anyone
who we speak the honest truth to?
I mean, isn’t it better to know you’ve been saved from the
embarrassment of the entire world seeing your proverbial open fly
by having one single person point it out to you?
Think about it!
I may be mistaken – but then, who are you to say I’m wrong –
This is my opinion after all – and since when is an opinion a bad thing?
Yes, it may be out of line with yours, or simply out of line -
but you don’t have to like it – and it will never be right or wrong.
It will always be mine.
How I choose to use it will also be my choice – because I have a choice.
I choose to live! I choose to stand on my own two feet and SHOUT
from the rooftops – I AM FREE! I AM HUMAN! I MAKE MISTAKES! I AM REAL!
So, if you can’t handle that – then you need to sit back and take a
look at where your priorities lay. Look at them, sort through them,
and put them to one side while you choose to live too.
Because as far as I know, we get one chance, one life in which to
make mistakes, learn from them, give and take advice, live, laugh
and love.
Love your family, love your friends, love your life – but above all else,
please, love yourself.
Value the most important person in your life – you. The rest will fall into place.

so very hard to do, so very confronting, so very true.
missheels replied
Yes, I agree. It takes a great deal of courage and hard work, and it is very raw and confronting. Once done though, the weight lifts, and you can move through it, learning about yourself and growing with the changes you make to your life. Thus, it can also be a very interesting journey through self discovery, and rewarding if you allow enough time for that personal growth.
