Today's Inspiration: Living Out Loud

Sometimes whenever I have a great sentence or two, I like to show it off a bit.. And I sometimes feel like I can  spit nails whenever someone cuts in and tries to finish the sentence  for me... Besides stopping to look at this person as if they have two heads, I manage to tell them... please don't do that... But I'm learning... some people actually think they are being really sweet and cute, and are letting people know how sensitive and smart they are when they do this... But I figure... If they really want people to think they are smart... they would let other people think that they  are smarter than  them by not impressing them with how smart "they" are in the middle of their damn sentences... But then again... Maybe that's just me...

One day people are really going to realize how much of a waste of time and energy it is to worry about what other people think about them.. Because the truth is... you can never really  know what another person is thinking... And honestly, people are usually not thinking about you at all, because most times, they are too busy worrying about what other people are thinking about them ... So all of those terrible things you thought people " might " be thinking about you are ( yes, you've guessed it. ..) just your own thoughts about yourself ... So you can stop ignoring people now and looking at them all crazy...

Ok... He said that he would never leave her because she understands him so much... and she LOVES being thought of as being "understanding"... But she understands that in being so understanding, he automatically has the freedom to do as he please...  Because the minute she is not understanding, he will leave her ... But what she really have to understand is this... That in order to be so understanding... ( all of the time )... she would really have to leave   herself ... And if she's leaving herself... every time she is being so understanding... then who the hell is it (really) that he will never leave? Not her...     Surely not her... Because she's not really there... So why even cry about it...?

Secrecy and solitude are values that belong to the essence of every personality... so I wonder why so many people fear it in others and often violate it in their relationships...  Some of my best thoughts, creative ideas and solutions to problems come to me (really) when I am off and alone with my own thoughts and God, and regardless of who I'm connected to or in relationship with... sharing this space is never negotiable with me. I spoke with a friend today who (after listening to him) believed it was a "good thing" that he was able to convince his girlfriend to spend time with him when she clearly showed signs that she wanted (and needed) to be alone... Perhaps he (like many) believed that solitude was some kind of "punishment" that he needed to save her from... Or maybe he really just wanted to alleviate his own loneliness - because he lacks the ability to be still long enough to reap the great rewards of spending quality tim...

Nothing touches a work of art so little as words of criticism...As most things of value aren't as tangible and sayable as some people would have you to believe... You ever wonder why some people bother talking about things like another person, their idea, work or even art, when they have absolutely no idea what they meant to convey?... It's really sad ...  and yet interesting at the same time. 

At the end of the year, I find myself entering a new territory, dreaming again... And very quickly, I am reminded of that movie "In A Field of Dreams", where the whispering voice said “ If you built it, he will come"... What are our dreams, really, but objectives, aspirations, plans, hopes, wishes and ideas...  And how many of us have actually started building on any of these things?  I always remember that the journeys we take "by ourselves" are not just "for" ourselves but also for others, which encourages me to continue building.

I like how I can find "you" in "me" and "me" in "you" and still call it "myself"...It's kind of cool...' 'Whenever there's a hole in my sidewalk, the romance of my own self-discovery usually helps me to get out of it... and I love it...' 'I always tell people that you have to "love yourself" before someone else can... but I never imagined having to find out if it was true...' 'I never understood why whenever we feel safe and comfortable to be our true selves - which is really just the child inside - people call this "immature" as opposed to "courageous" ...' 'I don’t always know what I want sometimes... But I (at least) know that I want to know what I want... sometimes ...' 'Since love exists with or without us, I wonder why people put ownership on it and say “ I ” love you...?'  'My reality of loving someone else is usually as ...
