star you are

With intimate details, one can see even the most notorious aspects of a person through a passing glance. These details are worn like a red sweater at a green party gala. Sincerity is more easily noticeable because those who are truely sincere have a glow about them; an attraction to the beautiful things while bypassing the things that bring sorrow. The thoughts we keep locked up tight- those thoughts are reserved for the quiet moments we have with ourselves or with trusted souls who share our feelings about certain things. Rare is the time when we are unable to communicate, but there are those times when communication needs to be done so as to expose the real one inside; the one that requires no preparation for spectacle, no backstage requirements, no make-up. The one I am referring to is the star you are, not the one people see.

the most

In times of hardship and strain, the ones who see through the raindrops and beyond the coming tide essentially find they have long-time friends and acquaintances there with them on the same ride. The upcoming loops and turns and twists should never be gone through in silent society. Those inside are no friends of yours and they live primarily on the exerior, or outside, and they are the ones that tell you to better yourself. There is only one way to better yourself and it has nothing to do with exterior processes; for they are out of your control. If control is what you seek, or seek to maintain, you are living inside the exterior and your life is not your own. Your life belongs to forces beyond yourself and it is for this reason you are either dead or dying without being exceedingly overjoyed at the opportunities afforde you in life. Without joy there can be no real life and only the individual has the courage to reach for that which brings true joy to self. 98

allowances

The beauty in allowing yourself to be unhappy is the fact that you know you are not alone. Your misery is shared by each and every one of us. The lies we see everyday; it is a wonder we don't just throw our hands up high and say,"Why is the world structured this way?" We allow for a certain degree of happiness, but we reserve that ride for the other lives inside. Most of our time is spent in such a way as to perpetuate differences and reduce serious life issues featuring good and decent people into passive byproducts of daily conversation. Through allowances we postpone desires and where do we go from that place? How do we strike a balance between allowance and ourselves?

the con criteria

They embellish themselves using appropriate-self serving language meant to eventually altar existing thought processes and patterns to benefit themselves. They are conscious of every word they say and they use perceived weaknesses and vulnerabilities in people to fulfill their desires; and it is in this way some people are evil. Then there are those who see benefits in the short term to fulfill desires. These people see no problem with their behavior because this world is a tough place and you need to deal with it. The world is a tough place because of these short term cons and the people who use them. I see this every day in people because it is used by the common folks or those with a junior high mentality.
So which kind of con criteria do you use? How do you use people to benefit yourself in both the short and long term? Remember, you are a liar so be careful as you think, you may trip on yourself. lol

new beginnings

Autumn is not a time for change. It symbolizes nothing. It is simply the time of year in which new leaves come and we are reminded again of our short time here. We remind ourselves that change is inevitable and that we cannot always be happy. We do this because it is one of the many mechanisms we use to mask the confusion we feel inside no matter how well we put ourselves together. This is uniquely human and people, after they are gone, know of the mistakes they made and do so wish they had another chance to make things a little better. People are afraid to be happy because they somehow believe they need to be something other than what they are. They somehow believe they have been chosen for bigger things, more responsible things with bigger scope, etc. One way to use that is to say to yourself that you are tired, you are this, you are that and soon you are 56 years old and saying something entirely different; by that time you will have become hard as a rock, stale, and bitterly unhappy. Autumn is not a time for change. It is a reminder of what used to be and never can be again. 98
