Less Perfectionism

What could you do less of? The absolute need to attempt perfection when I know it’s more than just a falsehood, and has hurt me in the past. It’s unrealistic and pointless. I prefer the cycle of life to what I was taught – to walk, talk, dress and seem a certain way. The moon…

Dodged That Bullet!

I tried to play match maker and it didn’t work! I won’t reveal who or why, but I found the two would not make a good pair. As one is very sweet, and kind. And the other just wanted to get their next fix! Assuming this person admired my relationship, I hoped to match them…

Flaws and All

What is one thing you would change about yourself? Not a thing, really. I wouldn’t fully be myself. I accept my flaws and all. Without them, I’d only be a fraction of who I am. Etching parts we don’t like about our self out of the equation doesn’t ensure you’ll be better off. Working on…

Oh No…Not This Again

It happened. Things were picking up and doing well, and along came a spider. Hm. Maybe a different analogy. Along came a human being, unbeknownst of the road I’ve traveled to get here. It started off kind – the type of syrup that’s goopy and serves no purpose. It immediately jettisoned into a duel. “My…

Character

Name your top three pet peeves. 3. Disloyalty for gain 2. Pretending to be better than everyone – sign of depression and narcissistic behavior 1. Not only lying to yourself but others, constantly, and expecting leniency instead of working on your behavior Competition, comparison and trying to tear others down for gain fit within what’s…

First Place

Who are your current most favorite people? I usually don’t have favorites, because it causes competition. I’ll say I have a small group of people whom I admire for their traits which include selflessness, transparency, honesty and empathy. It’s hard to find genuine people now, so when it comes my way, I am forever grateful….

“Bad Ass”

What’s the first impression you want to give people? The first thing most people say is that I, “don’t play around.” “You’re so real!” “You’re such a bad ass.” I am protecting my peace. I am making sure everyone understands I will not hesitate to eject them from my life. I do not present unscrupulous…

Just A Feeling

Do you trust your instincts? If when I meet someone, whether online or irl, and I feel any type of way…I began to question their motives. I observe their behavior for a time, but I do take note on what’s been said and done. I’m not judging – more so making sure that gut feeling…

Childlike Wonder

What does it mean to be a kid at heart? Often, my kids say things other adults wouldn’t approve of. “I am the greatest!” “I’m cool and funny.” I agree, and smile at them. What am I supposed to say? That they’re not? I don’t want to trim away at their confidence, or destroy their…

Open Sesame

You have three magic genie wishes, what are you asking for? I hope this doesn’t sound cliche. If I had three wishes, I would certainly use it for mankind’s good and not my own. Money means nothing. Materiel items as well. Beauty too. All of anything that serves no greater purpose is not something I’d…
