It can be difficult to dig yourself out of a hole, especially
if you planned the hole.
Writing,
is a way to face the realities
to give life something to look forward to
to know, no matter how bad it gets
I can write about it.
No experience, is a bad experience.
If you do an assessment
of where you are at, based on the emotions
of other people
they will always underestimate you.
We are living on borrowed time
We won’t be young, forever
Opportunities, Vanish
like the mirage, that we weren’t quite sure
was there
to begin with.
Who we think we are
has to be tested
and failure is not a conclusion
but as we get closer to the end
we are running out of pages
for something good to happen.
A new plan, is necessary
A new man
formulates a strategy
for perfect victory!
Why?
Because,
if he can’t change
he isn’t alive.
Rest and Routine
Relationships and Reflection
have given me a good life
but I cannot lie in bed forever.
The need to succeed
is making it impossible to lie down.
A relationship dies
It doesn’t have the magic that it once had
The conversation is no longer there
How did it happen that we don’t have anything to talk about?
In moments of emptiness
I get the answer.
I don’t want to move
but I have to.
If you are willing to do
what you don’t want to do
Nothing can stop you.
I would never be here, ordinarily
Something, is forcing me
like gravity, to move.
I can’t be comfortable in my attitude
It must find a new altitude
I hate asking for help
I hate being humiliated
but the need to move on, is bigger than my feelings.
I am about to get
really uncomfortable.

Sometimes, change is actually good. If moving on is for a good thing, then go for it. Hope you find what you are looking for.

Thanks, Aish! I think not knowing, is the worst part. Sometimes, you can only truly know something, until you do something, rather than simply thinking about it.

I don’t know I’d id agree that “No experience, is a bad experience” but I loved everything else about this! Thanks for baring your soul.

Yes, I think I’ve moved into total acceptance of my life. To wish for anything else, is to reject my life–not to love my life, for the good and the bad.

No experience is a bad experience? We will see. I lost a friend last night. My friend did not die but our relationship did. The vitriolic words from my friend’s mouth were like a slow-burning poison in my gut. Never have I been so verbally (and needlessly) attacked. It was shocking; I know I will never speak with my friend again. Can anger of such magnitude reveal a person’s true colors? What a selfish way to act. What an awful way for a friendship to die.

Yes, I’ve realized there is an impermanence to life–nothing lasts forever… we have to be thankful for what we had, and look forward to new good things, which is not easy to do. Thanks for sharing, Nancy, and I’m sorry for your loss of your friend.
