As I Am: I Can Only Be Me (That’s So Gay)

“My definition of success is to live your life in a way that causes you to feel a ton of pleasure and very little pain – and because of your lifestyle, have the people around you feel a lot more pleasure than they do pain.”

~Anthony Robbins 

You tell me to be true to myself and make myself happy, but you’re quick to jump on the bandwagon and talk down about me. You tell me you’re happy for me, but when I need a shoulder you’re quick to say “you chose this lifestyle.” You say you don’t care and you love me no less but every time we talk, you’re preaching the “word” to me and trying to tell me why I’m “like this.” Why is it that you can not wholeheartedly love me for me? Why can’t you accept me as I am? I am sorry to disappoint you but I can only be me.

My Pain: Surviving When Your Parent Is A Drug Addict

A year and 5 months of being clean and she goes back after one slip up. No child should ever have to look at their mother with her sunken in cheeks and listen to her tell you she is sorry, and that she is trying. 20 years of doing crack, she finally reached the point of being tired and fed up, I would have to say that was the happiest moments of my life that my mother has ever given to me. That was about a year and a half ago, today I find myself trying to look for her.

Blogging Challenge: Honesty!

“It is not nearly so important how well a message is received as how well it is sent. You cannot take responsibility for how well another accepts your truth; you can only ensure how well it is communicated. And by how well, I don’t mean merely how clearly; I mean how lovingly, how compassionately, how sensitively, how courageously, and how completely.” 

-Neale Donald Walsch

The blogging challenge that has consumed the mind of many other bloggers, and enticed the eyes of their readers. For the past few days I have stumbled across some blogs who have been writing on the topic “30 Days Of Blogging Honesty And One Dare.”

Real Talk

You’ve got to take the good with the bad, smile with the sad, love what you’ve got, and remember what you had. Always forgive, but never forget. Learn from mistakes, but never regret.

Life & Love

To say that I’ve been bombarded with a lot of thinking for that past few days would be a lie, I’ve been doing nothing but thinking. Evaluating my life and the status of my heart and soul, just about sums it up. Isn’t it funny how we always look into our past when we are faced with the problems of today?

What’s So Different?

They tell you to live your life, live life to the fullest, live as if there is no tomorrow, but when you do live YOUR life, and you live it the way you want to all they do is judge you. I must be missing something, I guess even in life there is fine print that must be read. What’s so different between how I live my life and you live yours?

Today, I didn’t have the best day, but I am allowed to have an off day. Ever since last week I have been doing a lot of thinking, I guess the three musketeers words really cut me deep. I was fine all weekend but I guess going in to work, and actually having to see them again really hit home. It is clear to me now that I need to start to deal with things that affect me, and I need to deal with it in my own way.
