Month: September 2022

These days, holding to one’s ideals and not “selling out” is considered as such.

It is nearly impossible for anyone to truly claim they have designed themselves without there having been some outside influence assisting.

However, it is what we choose to do with the stimulus that keeps us low – or takes us to greatness.

She had to learn how to fight in order to protect herself and those she loved.

I got to speak with a younger sibling last night who has grown in ways that I am so proud of.

They had loving, wise words of encouragement for me. It felt good to share and be seen as valid.

If I knew this would all lead to you, would I relax more and just let it happen?

It is supposed to be a survival trait that adult behaviors naturally imprint upon children, thereby ensuring productive continuance of the human race.

However, it is a flaw within our society that we do not give more support to struggling families – and thus propagate dysfunction that does not abate.

No buffers and others making mistakes that affect me directly do not help my feeling in control of things – especially financially.

The main type that I am is that I try hard while pushing at barriers to make things happen when they need to.

Is happiness something we can always come home to? Or is it fleeting like clouds on the wind.

Partners make room for and include each other in their lives.

Hey.

You out there.

I love you.

I have survived by capitalizing upon words spoken and fashioning them into new meaning for my own mantras toward better beginnings.

I had not realized how much some of their songs have plugged into my heart and kept me soaring.

“Radio Ga Ga,” for example, has some amazing chords and harmonies.

“Someone still loves you…”

I keep thinking that I need to stay “grounded” although my wings keep aching to fly.

But when I commit, others do not to the same degree – and I have to ask myself, “Why?”

(Double meanings)

As a woman born in the 70’s, I have experienced many rapid changes in societal perception of what a female’s role can and should be.

However, how I chose to proceed in my previous relationships was even more innovative by groundbreaking degrees.

It should not be surprising that I long to “settle down” and live a life more traditionally, given trends of disruption and tragedy.

However, what that actually looks like and means – to this, I still bring flexibility.

What dynamics are possible in good partnering where we best intertwine connection and individuality?

A bug just flew directly into my ear!

Even at the risk of missing an important call, I must allow myself to catch up on sleep.

Every day, the front desk had to be paid – whether rich, poor, or begging for more; snow, heat, fire, or rain.

“Isn’t it better to be friends, first?”

It isn’t about what I want, what I am striving for, or what should happen.

Everything is being dictated by external circumstances.

Places I have committed to are not generating revenue.

Versatile, adaptable, responsive.

Endurant love.

I like to think that he’s out thete, somewhere, thinking of me.

Right before a certain song came on the outside loud speaker of a hamburger joint, I began singing it my mind – and then heard it!

It gives me great joy to share what I see in my photography – even if it seems silly. Getting to creatively play and share makes me happy.
