"Just Being Me"

Let's explore this for a minute,..Our public self and private self..Some of us let who we are to the world take over who you are to your friends. At some point You need to tear down that wall of protection you put up, Your game face has become your only face. What about the people who really cares about you who are being left in the dark about how you really feel. There is no perfect time to start a relationship or a career or anything for that matter. You just do it.. Some people have a reputation of missing their blessings. Waiting for the light at the end of the tunnel? Well stride down there and light the damn thing yourself! Ok so, You are waiting to make more money, That may never happen, No No, you are waiting on that Perfect Job, or that perfect woman to just appear out of no where..Right Right.. Opportunity knocks at the strangest times, It's not the time that matters But how you answer the door..Our lives improve only when we take chances - and the first an...

That's a good question, But really its not a fair question. You can be in a relationship and still be lonely..But I refuse to do that again I pretended to be somebody I wanted to be until finally I became that person. Or she became me. Although most people are as happy as they make up their minds to be..My family take up the slack for not having a man around..I have a big family, But the cold winter nights.. who among us does not choose to be a little less right to be a little less lonely...I try not to entertain that too much..I am a Chestnut roasting on an open fire type chick..It's really not that serious, If I wanted to just be with somebody I could. But I have gotten too old to Just be with somebody. I just about know what I want, to be without some of the things you want is an indispensable part of happiness, Discipline is remembering what you want, but Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want. When I think about it, I've been lonely for quite ...

Just because you think you found the right person for you, doesn’t always mean that they feel you are the right person for them. That’s the challenge and the risk of opening up to someone, allowing yourself to become comfortable, even fall in love. And then one can ask and question, “I’m here, but you’re not? Where did you go left & I went right?” 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 once possessed. And then there’s the fear. The fear that if you close that door, that you will never allow it be reopened, even for that ‘imperfect’ perfect person, shall they discover that you are the one later in time. So you say to yourself, “Ok, I know the circumstances, I know they will never change, no matter how sincere the words.” So...

When I ask you to listen to me and you start giving me advice, You have not done what I asked. When I ask you to listen to me And you begin to tell me why I shouldn’t feel that way, You are trampling on my feelings When I ask you to listen to me And you begin to tell me why I shouldn’t feel that way, You have failed me, as strange as that may seem. All I asked was that you listen, not talk or do – just listen to me. Talk is cheap: 50 cents will get you both Dear Abby and Billy Graham in the same newspaper And I can do for myself: I am not helpless, Maybe discouraged and faltering, but not helpless. When you do something for me that I can and need to do for myself, You contribute to my fear and weakness. But, when you accept as a simple fact that I do feel what I feel, No matter how irrational, then I can quit trying to And get about the business of Understanding what is behind this irrational feeling. And when that is clear, the answers are obvious And I don’t need advice. Irration...

You know I consider myself as a really nice person and get along with everybody. I treat people way better than they treat me. I give credit where credit is due.I may give some a little bit more attention than i give others, But that's just who I am. If i am physically attracted to you then I am more likely to give you more of my attention and you might be the one that soak up all my energy. but like everything else, that gets old too. Don't expect others to treat you better than they treat themselves.  If you choose to deal with them (or must), it is best to come from a place of compassion toward their ignorance and lack of love.  Be solid enough to deal with it or step back to work on yourself first..How other's treat me is their path ~ how I respond is mine.I just refuse to be ignored, some people treat you as if you are not there.They talk in a round about way.( and that's something I hate with a passion) Most of them never ever say what's really on their minds ...
