Odd

I don't understand how it is that a person who tries so hard to please, conform, accomodate, and just generally stay out of trouble continually finds herself deep in it.

The truth shall set you free

Ever heard that saying? The truth shall set you free... I wonder what the person who said that was thinking about, what that statement meant to them. Because I have found that the truth does in fact set you free, free from family and friends that is. I am pretty sure that is not what whoever said that had in mind. People dont always want to know the truth. They will do anything to hide from it. They will betray those they love, hide themselves away in denial, become cowards living a false life. They refuse to accept the truth, perhaps because they then would be responsible. Responsible to stand up and do something. Responsible to make a choice and live with the consequences. Responsible to make a change.
When you have the truth, know the truth, and speak the truth there is no need for self-defense. There is no need to defend or prove yourself because it doesn't matter who accepts it and who doesn't, it is still The Truth.

Sorry little brother.

What is it with blogs? Everyone has one these days. People blog everything, big events, little events, health, hapiness, sadness... it's all there, for everyone to read. What used to be scribbled in journals and kept under the bed, or scrawled in a fancy diary with a lock and key, is all out there in the open now. What happened to privacy? What happened to keeping things close to your heart, well, close to your heart? Why do people feel the need to do their journaling on the computer and then send out links so everyone they know can read? Little brothers everywhere are being deprived the joy of sneaking into their sister's room and reading her diary, now all they have to do is log on and check out her blog!

I think it may be that people like to be heard and to be understood. Validation, acceptance, compassion, support, honesty, embracing your reality and living true to you... Laying it out on the line, this is ME, take it or leave it. Learning to love yourself, and learning that those who love you will continue to do so despite your flaws, and those who don't never did.

Unconditional Love and Acceptance, isn't that what we are all looking for?

I know I am.
