Earth Moving

An event that shakes the ground we walk on
The needle jumps the groove

Being the Change

The importance of what I believe in has been strongly reaffirmed in recent days.  No one should have to go through that type of suffering.  No one should have to go through that kind of scare.

I'm thankful everything turned out okay.  I only wish I had power in preventing what happened.

I need to continue to make an effort to go deeper, and to be a better example of the change I wish to be.

The idealist in me needs the satisfaction of trying to become a more idealized self.

When Your Mouth Starts Spewing Poop...

It may be time for Excre-Mints!!!

The Challenge of The Heart

To remain open in rawness, I know this is the direction I must head...  But it's so ridiculously scary at times...  Emotional weightlifting to strengthen the heart...

On the Surface

I'm like the Earth's crust.  On rare occasions I show signs of volcanic activity.  Sometimes seismic shifts can be felt.  But underneath and always stirring, a warm and sometimes burning core of unsteady molten magma...

The Splits in Our Personality

Is there a way to compartmentalize the various aspects of our personality for the sake of maximum benefit?  The decisive Me used for certain areas, and the more Open me used for others...

You Don't Know Me

I don't think you realize how much I truly hurt inside.  I cannot be like you.  I am not you.  Your criticism of me, in efforts to make me more like you, hurt.  I know you do and say what you feel is right.  But what's right for you isn't right for all.  I understand the value of what you say, but it's such a stretch for me to be the way you wish me to be.

It's as if you don't really know how much pain I feel inside.  So often I feel maybe it's better that I never existed.  I don't know how to play by the same set of rules as others.  Hopefully I'll find my way.  And hopefully I'll learn to be more understanding so I don't get hurt as easily.  You're doing what you think is best.  You're trying to help me.  But I am not you.  You don't truly know me.
