So, where is that line that we as individuals cross when we say just a little too much? When do people on the "outside" feel as though we have divulged too much information about ourselves to them because it brings into focus their own personal insecurities? Are there certain things that other people just don't want to hear, because it may hit too close to home for them and then the insecurity beast may raise its head in their life? I wonder these things everyday, and yes, everyday there are little indiscrepancies within my life and emotions that I choose to keep to myself so as to not step on the indivisible boundaries of someone Else's problems......Is it just human nature to "sweep it all under the rug" until there is no other option but to "suck it up" with the vacuum?? I think that we all want life to play out with as few "intermissions" as possible, but is that healthy? Are these stages in life that we just swim through and them come up for air on the other side and realize that we actually made it?
I happen to think that there is NO adventure in life that I would not try. Yes, I said I, because not everyone wants to try what they think is the "impossible" for them. Well, you know what, I want to try it ALL and that is exactly what I plan to do!!!! NO, we don't have to live out the exact same life that centuries of the same gender have partaken in....and quite frankly what is the RIGHT way to live life? I sometimes wonder if we live life by "reliving" life, rather than by living life. (????) It is individual and each person has to make those choices and do what it is right for their path in life. Don't get me wrong, I don't think that we should trample those around us trying to get there, I just think they can either be a part of it, or not......either way life will go on undeniably!
So, I plan to try it ALL and I may not be the CHAMPION at the end, but I will have ACHIEVED what I set out to do! No, there will be no paycheck at the end, but there will be the overwhelming satisfaction that comes along with an "EXPERIENCE." So for all you dreamers and non dreamers alike, here are some life lessons to chew on for a while.....
"Success is following the pattern of life one enjoys most."
"A well written life is almost as rare as a well spent one."
"Most people go on living their everyday life: half frightened, half indifferent, they behold the ghostly tragi-comedy that is being performed on the international stage before the eyes and ears of the world." (all the while wishing they could be one of THOSE people!)
