I am my niece's double-knotted shoelace...
The pain party going on in my lower back is still rocking on, but now has
decided to invite my upper back and neck as well. Geez...I feel like one of those human pretzels that gets all crazy contorted...only, I'm not contorting at all, I'm just feeling the pain of what it would feel like IF I was contorting myself...I need to seek some help...HELP!!!
Better left unsaid?
In this paradox we call life, is it imperative that we always say what we feel? Or are some things actually better off left unsaid? From my own personal experience, I have to agree with the latter and I continue to do so today... But just because you feel some way and know that it isn't the right thing to do by saying something about it, it doesn't save you the feelings of torment and loneliness from caging up these thoughts and feelings. It doesn't keep you from wondering, "Why is this HAPPENING to me?" It doesn't prevent you from searching blindly for some solution, some way out...
Nonetheless, you deal with it.... Emotions, feelings, thoughts...all reactions, reactions that we cannot prevent from occuring. I've said time and time again, it's what we DO with these feelings that makes the difference... Yes, yes, I'm always saying "Carpe Diem!!!" Sieze the day!!! But I think we should be more specific in saying that we should..."Sieze the moment!!!" And that moment includes, taking the initiative to do the right thing. Take for example someone who does something that makes you really angry. The natural reaction is...you get angry. There isn't a way to stop from getting angry...it's just your natural reaction to the given situation. However, you can either act on that anger, or not act on it. You can give this someone a big bop on the nose, or you can take a deep breath and let it go...obviously, one decision is better than the other. What you do, is entirely your choice. You can easily sieze the moment and do the WRONG thing...it's still siezing...so next time an opportunity presents itself to you, ready for the taking...think before you sieze.
