Genius, Solitude, Companionship, And Self Reliance..

Just Something I ran across while researching.This one by Ralph Waldo Emerson just about sums up what I really had in mind: I appeal from your customs. I must be myself. I cannot break myself any longer for you, or you. If you can love me for what I am, we shall be the happier. If you cannot, I will still seek to deserve that you should. I will not hide my tastes or aversions. I will so trust that what is deep is holy, that I will do strongly before the sun and moon whatever inly rejoices me, and the heart appoints. If you are noble, I will love you; if you are not, I will not hurt you and myself by hypocritical attentions. If you are true, but not in the same truth with me, cleave to your companions; I will seek my own,,...Wow Deep..But you know Being a single 50 yr old woman and just listening and looking at other people relationships, Every one of them have their own definition of what happiness is. Because I had labeled it as Pretending to be happy.I guess knowing what you want and getting out there to get it. without settling.Many people have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.The single fact of existing is already a true happiness to me..

The Pursuit of Unhappiness Always Succeeds...

Much unhappiness has come into the world because of things left unsaid..People never say what they really mean, talks in a round about way, I am more and more convinced that our happiness or our unhappiness depends far more on the way we meet the events of life than on the nature of those events themselves..But most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be. Plenty of people miss their share of happiness, not because they never found it, but because they didn't stop to enjoy it..We fall in and out of love through out our lives..some make us happy some make us unhappy. Some people come into our lives, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never ever the same.You can’t dial down feelings and we can’t turn back time. We can hope, even pray, that these intense feelings, desires & passions for that person, will subside if denied. That the ache in the heart will go away, that it will be filled with some other feeling, other than the love & happiness it...

One of the hardest things in life is having words in your heart that you can't utter

Have you ever met a person that appears to have the heart of stone?. You can ask them something and they never ever give you a straight answer. They never want you to know what they are thinking. You confide in them and you tell them your dreams and what you want, and they never react. I think that's being cold and callous. Is it past history that keeps us from keeping real with everybody? Or that if i do this they will take advanage of my feelings. Wow..What a concept. When we are at our jobs daily, we put on a front. We dont like everybody we work with but we put on face. well expected. But at the end of the day. Who tha hell are you? The hardest thing in life is to have words in your heart you can't utter. That happens to me more now than ever. Things keep me from saying what i want to say. You how you just want to walk up to a person and just say what you feel and let the chips fall where they may..  be it good or bad..Today I went on a limb(and i do that sometimes) a...

And The Point Of It All....I LOVE YOU...

Last year about this time my blog was saying Is Valentines Day Highly Overrated? Which I think is still true, I mean why not show your Love all year round?..Is that too much for you?..This is not the time to start an argument to get out of buying a gift..Still playing those games? Well I am still single just like last year..I was ask Why are you single? Because that's the way God made me!! I'm not looking for Mr Right? I'm waiting for that which is for me..Nobody is perfect..we are have flaws..but he will love me for who I am..and vice versa. How will you know someone really loves if they only meet your expectations and not your needs? What you want isn't always what you need and what you need isn't always what you want. Therefore sacrifices have to be made in order for you to achieve true happiness..I do know that I would want a friend first, I want to get to know him and I want him to get to know me!! A question was raised, Can you love somebody you don't even...
