All Fought Out

So, here I am attempting another act...in the nude.  Sometimes I'd like to think certain things do not have such an effect on me, but that's just my delusional thinking.  However, late at night when I'm sitting on my couch deep in thought, accompanied by the TV, Internet, and sounds of the neighbors and of the night, my walls crumble down.  Fear, anxiety, and a surge of excitement cluster my brain cells.  My strategies that I once revelled in dissipates, and I am left with doubt, and find myself standing on a path that has split itself.  Either path is evenly filled with sacrifices, tenacity and compromises.

While standing at the crossroads, all I am reminded of is 18 long months of fighting for common ground.  Yet, all of it has manifested into this moment, for the better.  Along with the worries, there are comforts.  Along with  fear, there is a sense of rebirth...and constant sanity check.  Unfortunately, through all the fighting I have noticed that this unsettling feeling is from judgement of others.  I suppose that when you have had every aspect of your life analyzed, and then falsely characterized...it has definitely made me more cautious of perception from others.  However, I have realized that I cannot fit into certain molds no matter how hard I have tried.  

I find that the hardest thing about life is being yourself.  Everyone is divided through culture, ethnicity, religion, social status, and other factors.  With that being said, with all of the differences among us, we should be open to one another, and not so closed minded.  I honestly dislike one or two people in the world, but I still respect them, and remain open to what they have to say.  I'm not going to tell them how I feel, because it's something I'm working on internally to be rid of.  I try to avoid arguments at all costs, because needless to say...I'm all fought out.

Silly twitter, tweets are for kids...and my enjoyment :)

Trending twitter topics are always interesting.  Answers from around the globe tickle my sides, and also cause full on belly laughter.  Currently one of them are #IveAlwaysWantedTo, to which the first one I seen was from: Evil_Dumbledore: #IveAlwaysWantedTo turn around in a big chair, and say "I've been expecting you..." Absolutely hilarious!  In fact, I'm going to do it at work tomorrow :).  So, what would my answer be?  I don't know.  I've done a lot in my life, and traveled all over, and had some pretty fun times...stuff that just kind of happened unexpected.  Also, I have done a lot on my life list that I created when I was eight; however, the last thing was to be president (not so much anymore).    Along with trending topics, you get to see the overall voice of people in general; which is to be accepted for who they are, and how they are viewed.  At times I have wished I could step outside of myself to see what other people see,...

Troll Feet

A week ago I received the keys to an apartment I have transferred to.  It took me four days to move everything from the old to the new.  I did have a beast of a friend who helped me out the first day (Friday) with my furniture, but for some reason it took three days for me to move the rest of my junk ten feet (the distance to my current apartment).  By the car load I transferred stuff, and it did not seem to make a difference.  In fact, I still have non perishable items in my car!  I just shift it around, to make way for the kiddies :)  However, back to the grueling past weekend.  Back and forth I drove and walked with arm loads and car loads of crap.  I wore flip flops, which were heard from 7 am to 11 pm, and bore the brunt of flat dry feet, that could have been mistaken for the soles of Frodo Baggins. On Saturday, somewhere during the upright state of the sun, and hottest part of the day, my daughter asks from the coolness of t...

Of Acquiescence and Patience

This past weekend, I took my kiddies on a nature walk at the National Wildlife Center .  We had not been in a while, and I decided to take them to see what interesting things occurs in nature following a rainfall.  The day was sunny, early and slightly hot...nonetheless, perfect.  We walked over a bridge, which was absent of water lilies or pads, and took note of the rise in the water level.  The gravel road seemed washed and remnants of a silt water path was still visible.  Eagerly, we walked to the trail that led into the trees. Along the woodland trail, we heard geese, seen herons, spiders and different types of mushrooms.  We continued to walk along the lake, as mosquitoes danced on us without biting, and everything seemed alive and wet.  When we turned around, Ari began to run ahead, and continued to pick up various sticks, until I noticed how one stick didn't seem too familiar up ahead.  As I yelled for her to stop, I looked at t...
