To be a person who is never part of the in-crowd or is part of a cliche. One who is shunned for being different or not quite a fit for the groups that may share things in common, or all participate in things that they share. It can keep on looked upon as a loner or an outsider. It can be the start of one's never knowing where they belong or if they will develop the skills to master them in a way only, they can use to find their individuality. To join in on one group or another just to not be alone, is not the answer. To become something that...
"To wake up one morning, not knowing what will take place or happen, like the weatherman says it will be all day clear skies and the rain comes pouring down." "You look out for all the things that will make you either change your mind and go back, or you will continue on in the same direction that you were heading, knowing this may turn out worse than originally considered." "You are seeking approval for that which you start and complete, never sure what those around you, who either stop to admire your work, or the ones who notice yet are no...
The memories of the past. The present memories being made. The future uncertain and yet to be discovered or made. In the minute of the hour of the day, reflecting on the moment that is, not what was or what has yet to come. The minute is defined by the moment when you evolve or become more than you were or are at present. You cling to the past like a favorite blanket. The memories linger in the air like thick smoke swirling in the air and you are mesmerized by the flood of dreams and hopes never to happen. The life is cut short and held only...
With the can of worms opened, pandora's box top lifted and exposed with what was in the box, with your feet planted firmly in the minefield that had warning signs of what was there and what would happen if you ignored them. You still had to go in there. You still had to find out what was behind the curtain even though you closed your ears and shut out the ones that knew before you. It was your eyes that became wide open as you heard that loud click. You saw the truth and ignored it. You knew the consequences, and you still had to take the ri...
The Dance of the Sacred Crow was started in the year of the jackal, 3209, which had been an ancient celebration of the peace and prosperity for growth and blessed wishes. The Dance was passed down in times of old and was never diverted from then and was revised now only to become less modern and more sticking with the traditions of the forefathers and the ones who were seen in the flickering of lights, mostly ones that used batteries. The moment was still held in highest regards and in the highest honor where all who knew the choices made in...
To have a lie told to your face, in person and to be shared as the truth can hurt more worse later. Yes, the truth can hurt a lot more the time it is spoken. It is with much speculation and disbelief that one can make themselves out to be more than they are considered at the time they choose to describe themselves to others. It is with a heavy heart, and a shameful mind, where such a moment presented itself and it was not on a local level. It was at the highest ranks of policy and the government. It would be felt in the consequences and repe...
Ok let's just dwell on the idea of there being more than two genders that are actually part of the same gender correctness as a whole. "If in the beginning there were only two genders that were assigned to all of humanity, when did the other ones become part of that selection?" We all are in search of the perfect to identify and self-describe ourselves. We seek the approval of others by what we want to be recognized as and are willing to settle for that which we do finally identify ourselves as. To ponder on the idea that we have more than t...
"Tonight's story is a sad tale of virtue, of hope, of bravery, yet this story is a tragic one ending in total and utterly defeat." "I'm John Jughad, reporter for News 666." "I am here to interview, Marilynd Wanlender, who is a close friend of the totally defeated waller, Jeffrey French." John: "Good evening and welcome to the show, "You stink and you know it." "Hope you get settled in before we air this."Marilynd: "I would be settled in if you had removed the sharp objects imbedded in my back, you clush." (Reaches around to pull the knives o...
You are running for your life. Your eyes darting left then right, not knowing what to do on such short notice. You then spot a location in the bushes and run in that direction. Then before you can squat down behind a mulberry bush, the ground gives away, you find yourself freefalling in the dirt and earth, landing on solid underground. Where you are exactly is not a sure fired answer for you are in complete and utter darkness. You feel for a light and find your flashlight, which is in your hand now all broken in a million pieces, that cuts y...
"Is it possible to be in two different places at once?" "Is this the moment you find out you were only an illiterate illusion?" "Can you take two different mathematical problems and solve them simultaneously?" "Can you decide between the dark meat or the light meat?" These and other questions are asked all the time. Day in and day out we always ask the why and the what it is that may be but never know what was. If you are never seen and you are overlooked or ignored, does that mean you will never ask the question of, "You can see me?" If thi...
Here lies the problem, here lies the solution. Here lies a moment here lies a vast array of time. Here lies a second, here lies a minute, here lies an hour, here lies a day. Here lies a week, here lies a month. Here lies a year, here lies a decade. Here lies a century, here lies a millennium. Here lies the big bang that started it all. Here lies the big bang that ends it all. The moment came and the moment went, like the speed of sound, you look off to your left or right, if you blink or squint, it's gone, gone forever. Here is the vastness ...
It started off just like any other day did before. It was no different than any other day, except maybe the day of the week, or the month. It came so suddenly that most were never prepared to have three different events happen and they were somehow connected but also separate too. It was the weather that was not supposed to happen, either on the day it did, or at the time it did. It became apparent that most were part of the outcome and part of the solution, part of the problem or a little of both all rolled into one big ball of what the hel...
The moment arrived with a few million people, who were not sure whether to take over being in charge, yet it was most who were at a loss that were trying to. Those that were in charge had no idea what they were doing, no way of knowing if they were doing, whatever it was, correctly, and even then, they were a group of misfits, formed at the last minute. The bright, sunny skies were beginning to show signs of clouds, darkening along with day turning to night. It was apparent that most were either scared of their own shadows, were scared of th...
They always say, "the further you go alone down the path, the more you can't see in the darkness." So, you venture on, and you realize that you may become blinded by the darkness. It's a known fact that without some form of light, from a reliable source besides the sun, you will be like a blind man and stumble, falling. Your eyes play tricks on you; you see less and have to depend on your other senses to get you through to safety. But what if, this a big what if, you lose your way and you lose your sense of direction, becoming lost in a worl...
To admit a wrong done no matter where it was done or when it was done or last the why. Yes, the why always surfaces when you are least prepared for it and it does not have to be the reason behind it. But it's there and then that you realize too much has been spoken and it was done out of anger or before your thoughts in your mind were then spoken and the damage has been done. The wrong can be anything it wishes to be, and it takes no prisoners, nor does it allow us to be the victim. the only way to resolve the wrong and save face if this is ...
