A Screwed Up Life!





Yep. Sometimes you reach that point. Life is just SCREWED UP!

We make decisions; find out they're wrong. People wrong us, abuse us, hate us. We begin to feel that there's no way out. It feels like it's night...All. The. Time.

But in little ways, there's an outlet, a break, somewhere.

I find my outlet in music and in films...especially music.

My current theme song during this time is: 
NO SUCH THING (John Mayer) especially when filled with decisions and choices, after years and years (being that I'm now 40) of life:

All of our parents, they're getting older I wonder if they've wished for anything better while in their memories, tiny tragedies

I'm still young to those older than me, and old to those younger than me, and everyone will tell you that "The grass is not always greener" and "They're always going to be bumps in your life".

And, though these voices are meant to be thoughtful of YOU, and to help you NOT make a bad decision, they all sound like:
 
"Welcome to the real world" she said to me condescendingly"Take a seat, Take your life Plot it out in black and white"
 
There's no solid, logical answer to the WHY NOT question to a decision. WHY NOT do it?! And it all makes you wonder if:

They love to tell you "stay inside the lines" But something's better on the other side

Happily Ever After is what most dream of. LOVE is what we most want. And the absent of happiness and love causes extreme evil...everywhere and in everyone.

The bottom line in decision making is to be truthful to yourself (No "convincing" yourself of this or that), and to make a decision that WILL propel you forward in life.  If you find out it's the wrong decision, at least you made a decision. ("Make a decision," my father would say, "And stick to it.") Make a decision, and then you're OUT of the spot that you were in, and in a different place. Though sometimes it might seem similar, the wrong decision, it is still slightly different.
 
  • Identify the wrong pattern. 
  • Learn it. 
  • Get stronger. 
  • Progress.
 
I am invincible I am invincible I am invincible as long as I'm alive

Power. Logic. Love. All these (three) things, together, mind you (always together), leads you to daylight. And fear, which makes you NOT do something, will retain you in the night.

Until Next Time...

  1. A decision is wrong only if you feel if it is wrong. Some may call you stupid, silly or irresponsible for sticking to a hard decision you have made, but it was your choice. The world is full of wishy washy people. Some people should learn to stick with it, because you never know what life has in store for you.
