* ~ What you see is what you get with me...If you know me, you know that I'm a very sincere person,& loyal, caring friend...(Maybe a bit sensitive & intense, but intropspective at the same time- true to the nature of my astrological sign) Sensitivity can be both a gift and a curse.. I'd give the shirt off my back to help a friend, and loyalty is Huge to me...I don't expect anything from those that are close to me than I'm willing to give myself~* ~ I've learned alot over the past year.. it's been a year to say the least! I'm happy, think what you may, say what you will, it doesn't and never will change who I am and what I never aspire to be. I am who I am for a cause and for reasons I live unashamed. There are many quick to judge without knowing true circumstance- a product of insecurity? Of self hatred? What I know is that when you're happy with yourself, you want the best for others..happy for their achievements & successes. *Ironically, those that point fingers the most and wish ill will, seem to have an underlying self hatred... would rather see others down, instead of building themselves up, aspire to do or be the best they can be. What is that?? I've learned as I experience the twists and turns that life has in store, there is always more to the story--you learn there are many variables.. more than what meets the eye, more than flip judgmental hearsay, and that what may seem obvious can and probably does have so much more underlying.. unseen. Life is a curious teacher.When you are being true to yourself there is no need to explain. Those that explain the most, many times seem to have something to hide-- *the need to get a jump on a situation, or feverishly focusing on explanations because they have much to hide or cover from personal guilt. I could waste time explaining and revealing truths- things left out for the sake of privacy and moving on- moving toward a better future...but I just can't go there, and have never been one to wish or hope for ill will in others- such wasted energy. Truly. Sure I've been angry at injustices, and am by no means a saint..God, so much has not been told.. and hard to swallow at times knowing the real truth--but I will not walk that path..there is NO future there, and really..why, would you think so low of yourself that your time isn't better spent than bringing others down? Build yourself up and have more to offer the world. You have no idea what is in store for you around YOUR corner-- what should you have spent your time doing to better serve yourself? We are all made up of the gifts God has given us, and I try to learn from each and every situation brought into my life..whether my own doing, or otherwise-- I believe in looking for the lessons to be learned.. they are there, you have to be open to receive them. Take a true look at the hand you've had to play in your situation.. *sometimes things happen to make you stronger for a future experience coming your way that you are unaware of at the present time...keep your mind open, and your energy positive. *Energy conveys..make sure yours is what you'd like to receive- you draw upon what you put out-- I love Michael...love him truly. We've been through so much, and I thank God for the growth we've shared through it all.. The lessons learned, the connection that we share has truly deepened and now is a gift. Loyalty and friendship means so much, and waking up with what I can now say is my best friend, I am truly thankful for. Glad to be on the other side, the other side of all that we've gone through- So much. So much. to have survived- stronger and hopefully wiser...
