A Glimpse Into My Life… Pt. VI

When I walk into a room full of people… I feel like I am alone.

I have always felt this way.  Maybe it is my sense of humor.  Maybe it is my lack of self-esteem.  Maybe it is just a fantasy, like a dream.  However you look at it, or really however I look at it… I feel alone.

This loneliness doesn’t stop.  Ever.  Unless I am at home by myself or with someone I am falling in love with, which in those cases I am happy.  Which then makes me wonder… is my loneliness really just the fear of being alone?  I am afraid of being single? I have asked myself this question a few times.  The more I think about it, the more I feel that it is not a fear of being single… it is the fear of not being loved.

I am a very emotional person for a guy.  A few consider this as a weakness.  A few consider this as being a ‘real man’.  A few think it is a good thing until they date me and realize that I act/behave more like a female (with my emotions) than what they are use to, then back away from me.  I have never understood why people would care if a man has feelings.  Aren’t we all taught to be truthful with ourselves and others around us?  If a man never shows their true feelings… isn’t that just living a stereotypical lifestyle? Some say showing emotion shows the man as a weak person, but I ask, how does showing my true feelings change how ‘strong’ I am?

If you know me well and have never seen me emotional… think of me at a bar or out at a dance club, have you ever noticed my eyes glazed over or staring of into the abyss.  I have done this many times.  More so in the past year than most of my life.

I stand alone in a crowded room because I feel no one can feel my pain.  I stand alone in a crowded room because I feel no one can see me in pain.

Climbing the Ladder

Every time my climbing seems to be going great… I roll the dice wrong and shoot down the snake…

Life is about taking chances.  Sticking your neck out.  Saying things and not holding back.  Even if it is a minor setback to your ultimate goals in life… these setbacks can be necessary to get you to your goals in life.  Life isn’t easy.  Life isn’t going to be an over-hand toss.  Its going to be a fast-ball, curve-ball, or knuckle-ball thrown right at your face.  You just better hope you are prepared with the right equipment to handle it.

Whatever you do… don’t settle.  If you feel, ultimately, that you need to keep “climbing that ladder”… then you must.  Only settlement will anger you.  Drive you crazy… leave you thinking “what if”.  When you met someone that you enjoy being around.  That can be with you to reach those goals.  Don’t let that person leave on the first pitch.  Fight for this person.  Be close with this person.  Love this person.  Cause at the end of the day… its not about how many breaths you take in life… its about the moments in life that takes your breaths away.

Keep Trying…

As time passes…
The heart grows stronger,
Love fills within,
You know longer wonder,
What life was before then.

The light replaces the dark…
You see what you’re looking at,
No longer taking a guess,
You now understand that,
Garbage day is good to clean up a mess.

You approach life positive…
You smile when you’re sad,
You laugh when you should cry,
You try your best to not get mad,
But at your best, the harder they’ll try.

Cause if you give up…
Then what was the point in trying,
If you think you have a chance to make it,
Then move forward, head high, face the music…

Take the step forward that will start forever…

Obesity….

Why are kids fat these days?  Why are parents allowing this to happen?  Why does it seem like the more we talk about it… the less things are happening about it??? For the past five years this topic has been in the news… but yet, they never just come out and call the parents out… well… I think someone should…

One Word of Advice from Dr. Lee:

If you start to notice your child is gaining weight… look into his or her habits.  Looks into his or her recreational activities.  Are they exercising?  Does he or she go outside and play more than you did as a kid?  Does it seem like your child doesn’t have any friends?   If any of these answers are “no”… then its time to step up, be a parents, and teach your child healthy living.

What’s his main source of food?  Junk food?  Fast food?  Frozen meals?  If he is consuming all of these “types” of meals, then its a no wonder why he is gaining weight.  A child needs nutritional meals during his youth so he can get the proper nutrition as his body is growing.  Also, making home cooked meals and teaching your child what is good for the body and what isn’t, is a good way to teach your child how to have a healthy life.

I just don’t get why the media just doesn’t say the obvious… If your child is fat (and there is clearly NO medical issues), then shame on you!  You are not a parent.  You need to go to parenting classes and learn how to be one.  You are KILLING your child!  And if you cannot care for your children’s healthy well-being…. then why are you having kids??? It is your responsibility to make your child go out and play.  It is your responsibility to feed him properly.  Ugh… seriously, parents that let their kids do and eat whatever just really piss me off.  You have to set rules… You have to set boundaries…

Don’t just be affectionate with your child… Look after his well-being as well…

Motivation

Awake on this morning…,
The start, the begin,
Let the sun hit my face,
The Warmness fills me within.

Understand the goals,
To tackle for the day,
Make each minute count,
And don’t let one slip away.

Stand tall to the World,
Cause it’s a beast,
The followers in this life,
Are its greatest feast.

Take each step forward,
Let the moment live,
Don’t regret your past steps,
Forgive which needs forgived.

If you can remember one thing,
To be your foundation,
I love you,
And will help keep your motivation…

This Road Is Dark

This road is narrow…
This road is dark…
Must be what life’s like…
When your body’s been torn apart…

Cry a tear…
Hide your fear…
Come to your senses…
Understand how you became here…

Look around…
There’s a way out…
Only if one can be patient…
A way will come about…

So keep walking down that road…
Keep your head high…
With knowledge of something greater…
Will soon be in sight…

Life On The Mind…

I got life on the mind/As it slowly runs out of time/Walking forward blind/I need to find…

The escape route/Where’s the Exit Door/Where’s the new hope/life’s gotta be more…

Than just let downs/False hopes/Need to wake up/Need to learn to just cope…

Need to enjoy the simple things of life/Need to open up and embrace what I have insight…

Moving forward, not backwards/We all yearn for love/We all search for happiness…

Hoping Inception goes deep enough/Puts a new outlook for life/So when I awake from this dream/I’ll know how to make things right…
