From a whisper to a scream

In some ways, betrayal is inevitable. W
When we betray each other, the path to recovery is less clear.
We do whatever it takes to rebuild the trust that was lost.
And then there are some wounds, some betrayals... that are so deep, so profound that there is no way to repair what was lost.
And when that happens, there's nothing left to do but wait.

Commitment

There are times when even the best of us have trouble with commitment, and we may be surprised at the commitments we're willing to let slip out of our grasp.
Commitments are complicated.
We may surprise ourselves by the commitments we're willing to make, true commitment, takes effort, and sacrifice.
Which is why sometimes, we have to learn the hard way, to choose our commitments very carefully

Guilt

I think that guilt is one of the most overlooked emotions.
We see guilt as black and white.
If one is guilty then one must have done something wrong.
But like most things in life it isnt that simple.
Emotions are complex and are perceived differently by each individual.

We are left with a choice.
Either let the guilt throw you back into the behavior that got you into trouble in the first place, or learn from the guilt and do your best to move on.

Time

Time waits for no man.
Time heals all wounds.
All any of us can wants, is more time.
Time to stand up.
Time to grow up.
Time to let go

Karma

Karma.
One way or another it will leave us to face ourselves.
We can look our karma in the eye or we can wait for it to sneak up from behind.
But karma will always find us.
Yet no matter how hard we try we can't escape our karma.
I guess we can't really complain about our karma. It's not an affair. It's not unexpected. It just... evens the score.
And even when we're about to do something that we know will tempt karma to bite us in the ass... well, it goes without saying. We do it anyway.

Owner of a lonely heart

Forty years ago, the Beatles asked the world a question.
They wanted to know where all the lonely people came from.
My theory is that sometimes we ignore our own needs so we can meet other people's needs.
We ignore our friends and families so we can make other people happy.
Which means that, at the end of the day, all we really have is ourselves.
And nothing in this world can make you feel more alone than that.

Four hundred years ago, another English guy had an opinion on being alone. John Donne. He thought we were never alone.
Of course it was fancier when he said it. No man is an island entire onto himself.
Boil down that island talk and he just means that all anyone needs is someone to step in and let us know we're not alone.
out.

Fate

When fate comes into play, choice sometimes goes out the window.
Maybe Romeo and Juliet were fated to be together, but just for a while, and then their time passed.
If they could have known that beforehand, maybe it all would have been okay. I told Even now, I believe that for the most part, love is about choices.
It's about putting down the poison and the dagger and making your own happy ending... most of the time.
And sometimes, despite all your best intentions, fate wins anyway.

Responsibility - it really does suck

Responsibility.
It really does suck.
Unfortunately, once you get past the age of braces and training bras, responsibility doesn't go away. It can't be avoided.
Either someone makes us face it or we suffer the consequences.
And still adulthood has it perks.
I mean the shoes, the sex, the no parents anywhere telling you what to do.
That's, pretty damn good.
Remember when you were a kid and your biggest worry was, like, if you'd get a bike for your birthday or if you'd get to eat cookies for breakfast. Being an adult? Totally overrated. I mean seriously, don't be fooled by all the hot shoes and the great sex and the no parents anywhere telling you what to do. Adulthood is responsibility.
Responsibility, it really does suck. Really, really sucks.
Adults have to be places and do things and earn a living and pay the rent.
Kind of makes bikes and cookies look really, really good, doesn't it?
The scariest part about responsibility?
When you screw up and let it slip right through your fingers.
I guess we're adults. The question is, when did that happen, and how do we make it stop?

Intimacy is a four letter word

Intimacy is a four syllable word for: Here is my heart and soul, please grind into hamburger, and enjoy.
It's both desired, and feared.
Difficult to live with, and impossible to live without.
Intimacy also comes attached to the three R's... relatives, romance, and roommates. There are some things you can't escape.
And other things you just don't want to know

The Game of Life

I can't think of a single reason why I should be doing what i am doing right now, but I can think of a thousand reasons why I should quit. Sometimes they make it hard on purpose... However, there comes a moment when it's more than just a game, and you either take that step forward or turn around and walk away. I could quit but here's the thing, I love the playing field.

Guilt

Guilt is abscent when the act is justified.
