"I read through your writing and it sometimes seems very deep and open but at other times very dry, course and often out in left field. You always refer to being single, sex, and pole dancing. I guess I'm just wondering how you are as a person
Just a passerby"
What an amazing question? heheh...I love how very open and straight you were. I truly feel like you totally hit me on the head...me being a nail...or perhaps a different head :) oh and yes...I do refer to sex a lot! Let me open by saying this.
I love life.
Now don't get me wrong...loving life doesn't mean I am always happy, optimistic and open...instead I simply live my emotions. I think about what i'm feeling throughout the day and truly consider my feelings and how my actions affect others. I take things at face value but also consider the underlying foundation and meaning. We must be willing to take what the world/soul/others/etc give to us and what it is doing for us.
I turn events into experiences, I personalize the world around me...I look for the flying bird at my window...I notice the guy picking his nose in the car next to me...I stare at the hot coffee shop patrons...not because I'm trying to get some (not all the time anyways)...but because I'm trying to feel out the world as it presents things to me. I don't blow up the world with my feelings or express them on open forums (facebook crap)...but instead work through, self talk and find the meaning in things.
This is why I find myself more happier than not. Why i'm smiling and touching the voice of the world in ways that many don't care to. In my work with patients I help them get through their COWs (crisis of the week) but also, I like to focus on the bigger picture and message in life. I like to help people see the world as a place open to experience, free from too much judgment and that is filled with laughter and smiles- it exists...let yourself see it.
When was the last time someone made you smile? truly, truly made you laugh until your stomach hurt? or even reminded you that there are really good people out there? I like to try and fill that role...I like meeting, talking and associating with others that feel the same and believe that sex jokes, laughing at ourselves, stumbling on untied shoe strings, falling off of bikes and picking your nose daily will lead to that happier world.
So laugh it off...play it off...accept the criticism...piss on a bush...lick a toad...pick your nose...make sex jokes...wear something smelly...pick on your friends...fall off a bike...give money to the homeless...work lively...find meaning in a glue stick...look at the sprinklers giving life to grass...taste something slow...look for understanding in all things...pole dance in a library...don't interpret...do and do not assume...wrestle in chocolate pudding and licorice g-strings....and screw, screw, screw, screw (with the love of your life)!
"In order to love everything, in order to pity everything, human and extra-human, living and non-living, you must feel everything within yourself, you must personalize everything. For everything that it loves, everything that it pities, love personalizes...we only love- that which is like ourselves...it is love itself...that reveals these resemblances to us...Love personalizes all that it loves. Only by personalizing it can we fall in love with an idea." -Miguel de Unamuno
"Loving is a way of knowing, and for loving to know, it must personify. Personifying is thus a way of knowing, especially knowing what is invisible, hidden in the heart." -Hillman
I do have to say...after I was done reading this I felt pumped! I think I'll read this everymorning, whenever I'm feeling down, or when I need a reality check. That made me stop and think about my day so far. I'm not sure I'm living up to the hype today, but there is always time for a turn around!! I think I'm going to start by pickn my nose!
ReplyDeletewait! are you literally telling people to do these things? youll end up in jail if you did. unless thats the point ^_^
ReplyDeleteWho the hell wants to be miserable all the time? I am under the impression that the majority of the shit that happens in my life is someone playing a prank on me or me playing a prank on someone else. But you know, that just draws people to you.
ReplyDeleteWhy stress over anything? It changes nothing and just gives you grey hair. That's not to say you don't give thought where it's due such as... whether or not its time to scratch my ass. But you'll worry yourself sick. My best friend was recently in the hospital because he worries too much. Doc said that he basically stressed on everything so much that his back was ultra tense and ultimately ruptured.
His wife then called me to be around more (which is difficult since they have three kids) because I can make them laugh like no other. It's when we take shit too seriously that we end up really getting hurt.
