Keep it Real...Dammit

Why does it take some kind of dilema, catastropy, or period of dis-content, to finally see what's really important to you? Who's really important? And where you need to be. One fact of reality- Everybody goes through it, sometime. I dont' care how much money, how nice of a job, or how beautiful and famous a person is. Anyone can be in a slum, at any given moment, as we've

seen time and time again. So... why the pretense?

Today, I look around, at all the faces, all the family, some who've reached out, some who have not. I wondered why is it, we make these faces, and wear these masks. Images of what you think you need to be. Formulating a happy smile, to cover true feelings, distress, anger or pain. Granted, we, are indeed responsible for where we are in life, physically, spiritually emotionally, or financially. As feelings of pity from others, are last thing anyone needs. But about where we are inside? 

I used to think, taking resposibility, meant concealing my emotions, and keeping serious issues all bottled up. Today the picture becomes more clear. I have "learned" to carry on this way, and it isn't natural.

When someone asks if... I am O.K. , why should I say yes, when I really mean no? Why is it so normal to put on a happy face, if your not necessarily happy. Why feel shamful about reaching out, for fear someone will learn of my lack. Even though

"I 'm thankful for the things I do possess, I need to say, NO, I'm not OK, instead of saying yes.

Today, I decide to lay it all, on the table. Times ain't what they should be, and my tides are at all time low. I could use a helping hand, and a chance to be who I  am. Who I was  meant to be. I'm not calling for a monkey race, or some manipulitive money scheme. I'm talking about purpose. Cause' what works for you, won't always work for me.

I respect the workin' woman, and applaud the working man. But I seek a healthy cycle for myself-one that doesn't keep me on a ledge. One Push and I'm falling. Not a happy place to be.

"You have not, because you ask not."

So, what's this gal really trying to say? Writing provides an outlet for me- a way to daily discover something new, about life, about the world, about myself especially. I could do it 24/7.....

If you enjoy or gain anything from these weekly blarticles, then my work here is complete. If not post a comment, dissent, or dissagree- but most importantly.   "Help Keep this blogger alive dammit!" We wanna keep the peice flowing to anyone who cares to read em'
