“we sell ourselves not to be lonely”
that is so true…but we really don’t have an alternative, do we? we need people, and in order to have people, we must become like them. it really is an endless cycle of self-destruction.

A sad, but truthful thought…I think this is how most people feel. Everyone has their own story, issues and recovering mechanisms. True, most people seek other people (thinking this will make them happy). Remember, nobody can Make You Happy, happiness is within. I think of all the trials and tribulations in my life and they have molded me like a slab of clay waiting to be “something” and you know what? You are the something that your life has made you…if you didn’t go through the things that God has put in front of you…you would not be the person you are today. Yes, you may be somewhat confused at this point in your life…that’s ok…it’s normal…you seem to be in your 20’s….I am 44 (almost) and have learned all my lessons the hard way but, I wouldn’t change that for anything. People say I am the happiest and most carefree person they have ever met and YES that’s how I feel…there is no reason to mope, feel neglected, miserable or angry. Everything happens for a reason and there will always be something good thats follows something bad…(something bad that happens to you…may seem bad at the moment…but it is always for the better!!! You must wake up with a smile for someone everyday (I wake up with a smile for everyone because that’s what I am meant to share with everyone). It is amazing for 1)to be alive, 2)be vertical, 3)show up for anything 4)to breath 5)to open your eyes…..life can be so difficult (it seems) and so cruel…always remember YOU ARE HERE FOR A REASON and to keep the earth revolving and the natural way of things to keep moving YOU MUST BE HERE…You ARE a Piece of this most complex universe that must not be lost so, believe in yourself and be assertive as to who you are and NEVER let anyone undermine, overshadow, belittle or accuse you of anything you are not about. Stand up for yourself./..you wil gain respect and then you will meet the person who completes you…not who you think makes you happy. HAPPINESS COMES FROM WITHIN!
