The Pursuit Of Contentment
Long after emotional deprivation and a demished self worth. I find myself asking “how do I pick up the pieces?” When suddenly as swift as an inhale I answered my own question with “How can you fix something that never worked?” It then occurred to me that my insecurities stemmed from a place much deeper than the mental manipulation of my children’s father or even the emotional absence of the second nor the lack of integrity neither of them hold. Although those were woes we had in common they were their own to bare and mature from. It was my upbringing. My fathers absence but not just the physicality; the lack of emotional depth and ability to nurture from both my mother and father. At the time I did not understand what depression looked like therefore I never knew why I was never enough for my mother and why my pleas for nurture and acknowledgment were met with misunderstandings. In the case of my father; I never heard of a narcissist until recently. That was an entire universe of truth to unearth within itself and still is. All of these things led to me accepting emotionally aloof and unrequited individuals. I accepted men who only gave me minimal effort because that’s what my father gave. I accepted men who were emotionless because that’s what my mother gave. The irony was when my parents would witness this treatment and would say “you should leave them”. I’d mentally reply “should I have left/ divorced you?”. For many years this was my “normal”. Desperately clinging to become the adversary to this pathology and yet not fully understanding the root cause itself. It had nothing to do with the men I chose but rather why I myself was attracted to them. Why I insisted on these specific principles to be a foundation for a “good” relationship when I myself had not consistently acquired all of what I required. And even with the “good providers” and hypergamist relations I found myself in the same dysfunctional, emotionless dynamic. “Is it me?” I asked myself. In a sense it is... The unearthing of my subconscious abandonment issues and anxieties of separation. My egoistic masking of emotions. The never ending fear of intimacy by trying to avoid rejection. These are my baggage. I must have compassion while I unpack these antiques of mine. Knowing that it’s simply a representation of where I’ve already been and with the proper adjustments it will not be the calculation for where I’m going.

Do What is Difficult While it is Easy
"Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small." ~Lao Tzu We must do what is difficult while it is easy. What does this quote mean to you? Have you made complete good use of your time? Using the 86,400 seconds in your day to their fullest potential? Back when I first read this quote, it caused me to revaluate my life. There was a time when I often did the complete opposite.

ADULTING IS HARD.
1.This is your house That's right. This is your house and you have to be responsible for it. There's no doubt that you will glam up and decorate you house however you want, setting your own rules and everything. However, all that, doesn't come without a little bit of work. You have to make sure that everything is catered for; shopping, cleaning and keeping your house organized, because no one is going to do that for you.

Who are you?
Who are you? I sense you presence but have no relation to you. You peek your head out from the shadows with that wicked grin. Haunting me, waiting to pounce on my every move like a lioness in the grass. Stalking me like prey making my good times only seem like a split-second in my lifetime. You may smile that friendly smile but your intentions aren’t pure.

Dear Millennials
Coca-Cola Dear Millennials, Please, I beg of you: guzzle down 150 calories of liquid sugar daily and stuff your mini fridges at work with the stuff. 900 factories, churning out 1.9 billion cups per day weren’t enough. You guys aren’t going for it; I’m sorry, you all. Now we’ve got millennial faces, twenty-six-year-old actresses who’ve appeared on a few episodes on a Netflix show, smiling through their teeth to get you, you feeling sorry for your teeth before they’ve touched the carbonated bubbles.

Awkward? I Don't Know Her
I was in a boy's car recently, on the way home from a date. He was dropping me off and there wasn't much to be said at this point, but the atmosphere was comfortable. We started talking about how things went on the date, and he said he tried his best to not make things awkward.

An Ever-Present Friend
25 years is a long time to spend being uncertain. I don't remember every detail about the first 7 or so years of my life, but self-doubt seems to be so linked to who I am that I can't imagine that I was much different when I was younger.
