Shining Thru

I think it’s pretty interesting how the smallest change can interrupt routine…can cause chaos where there never has been any.  It’s pretty interesting the things that people pick up on and hone in on all of the sudden.  Something as simple as a change in hair style, cut or dye, or maybe losing a few pounds…things things seem to bring in more attention than a person would know what to do with since they aren’t use to being noticed.  It’s interesting how people seem to care so much about what you do with your appearance…they care so much that it causes a distraction to the normal routine of the day…it can cause some positive and uplifting comments from the right person or people, but it can also get annoying when it distracts from the work that needs to be done.  Even flattering comments can be annoying when they are coming from the wrong people…those type of comments can become extremely distracting since they make you feel uncomfortable.

Discomfort is an interesting thing.  Do compliments make a person uncomfortable or comfortable based on what they are said about or who they are from?  Or maybe the discomfort is simply because a person is use to being in the shadows, blending in, and then all of the sudden find themselves accidentally thrown into the spotlight of things….

Why are we told that expressing certain feelings are wrong when we are young to the point that when we are adults we feel shame when we feel certain things or begin to cry for one reason or another?  Why are we told that we need to hide our problems?  Everyone has problems and I think it’s important that we help each other through those and be strong for each other.  Sometimes it might be hard to stand by someone not knowing how it will effect you in the future, but it is more important to be strong for the person that you love and care about. 

Is it possible to be strong for someone else while still feeling free and being sensitive to your own feelings?  Your own desires?  Your own fears?  I think sometimes it’s impossible to deal with both and a person needs to put their own feelings and issues aside to help a loved one…but because you love them it’s worth it….

I wish we could always help the people that we love and care about…but sometimes we can’t…sometimes we can only be there for them and keep on loving them.  Especially with life changing decisions there is only one person that can make that call and that is the person at the center of it.  But it’s important that we love them and support them in their decision because it’s their life, it’s as simple as that. 

Decisions are hard enough to make without having to feel alone in the process.  Loneliness is probably the most horrible feeling in the world…so hold the people you are in love with close and let them know that they are not alone, and that they will always be loved.

The sweet hurt of jealousy

Irrationalities spring forth

Knowing logical thought is missing

Emotions can’t help but push forward

Emotional chaos runs rampid

Eventually Logic prevails

Feelings of guilt and shame arise

Get over it and move on

The thoughts scream in the back of your mind.

Trust each other.

Forgive irrational thoughts.

Love and Passion bring trust, forgiveness, and devotion.

Jealousy, not necessarily wrong,

A feeling of devotion instead of possession

Full circle to love and trust.
