unrealized potential

May 09, 2004 22:39

Normalcy, courtesy, and assumption of expectations are the chains. Plain enough to see, but why are they so hard to break? If someone told you untold satisfaction was within your grasp by simply changing your state of mind, why would you not do it ( Read more... )

First off, no need to apologize for your own thoughts and feelings.. especially in your journal.

2nd: .."Yes, yes, I realize that I'm overly serious"..
I don't agree. I have never thought that about you. Even so.. that's your prerogative.

.."Why do I always try to reason the teeth out of everything? Why can't I just pick an anthem and live by it??"..
Million dollar question. Kiss on the nose for the first person to answer that.

Chin up buttercup :-D

You can't help it your doomed to allways try and please others , even strangers, before dealing with Mike.

The question is what does Mike want?

Do you know?

I definitely don't think you should be apologizing for anything. That's for sure! I realize the thought of sounding too serious or cheesy may be embarrasing or humbling, but who cares. The people that may be judging you have no right to anyway, so who cares what they think. As far as the meat of the entry, and not to sound like a psychologist, I think deep inside you know the answer. It's always comfortable to do exactly what you always do and at best take baby steps in a good direction. Safe isn't always what should be done though. There is something to be said about taking a leap, a risk. Think about like 3 things that are really important to you and will be important to you in the future. Is what you are doing now taking these things into consideration? Is what you are doing now making you a better person now and for your future? I ask myself these questions all the time, and honestly I'm not there yet, but they have helped me make some really good decisions. Something else I truly live by is fully understanding the ( ... )

I hear what you are saying. I can tell you what my opinion might be of what you are going through, but I'm not going to right now. I guess the reason I felt as though I could respond to you original entry is that I can relate. We as young people have lots of distractions. Sometimes it's super fun and sometimes you have had enough. You sound like the latter...that you are looking for something more. I understand the want, the desire for this, but at the same time I feel that a lot of it comes with time. So maybe just relaxing a little bit, doing your art (this will help put you in tune) and have fun when you want to. I feel life is pretty simple but we make it complicated.
And by calling your last reply ridiculous sounds like an apology to me. You gotta stop doing that.
