The Organization of Writing Thoughts

Writing is like a prescription

I sit down

write what goes

through my mind

go back and read it

then I am completely surprised

that it makes sense

then I am even more

surprised

that anyone can

relate to it

but there is always

someone who

understands

this lets me know

there are others

out there like me

who write for

understanding

I pull what I write

from my heart

most of the time

buried so deep

I can't give it much

th0ught or it will

retreat again

Being Me

I have spent years worrying about what people thought about me. Trying to make sure I looked like I had it all together. Trying to make sure I looked comfortable doing everything I tried to do.
Now, I have reached a point to where that is no longer important to me. As long as I am kind to people, then worrying about judgement does not matter to me anymore.
I love people. I love talking to people and I love being able to help people. The "worrying about what people think" thing was getting in my way because I couldn't concentrate on being kind and showing love if I was continuously worried about what they thought of me.
Truth is, I never had it all together and I still don't. I probably never will. It is okay. It is by sharing our flaws that we build others up. No perfection needed.
This realization has brought much needed peace to me.
I still struggle with emotions. I am not good at showing emotions. No one showed emotions with me when I was growing up. If my mama was crying it was a MAJOR thing.
Jo Frost did work with me on this during our Supernanny time. It worked. She helped me find the tears they were there all along, just hidden. Now, I just need to be able to show emotion around others. That is my next goal. I'm getting there though, baby steps....
I'm sharing this as a start to let all of you know that whatever you are struggling with, it is okay to share it. It is okay and it will help others. We can all be encouragers and we can all be encouraged.
