Reflection
I am tired of surviving. I want to live. I want to grow. I want passion back in my life. I want to feel part of the world again. I think we've gotten to a place where that is what we do. We do what we can to survive and have lost sight of the true nature of ourselves.
We've been surviving so long that we have forgotten or never learned passion. We've been so run down with such a singular focus we fail to give compassion. We have stopped laughing. People are so sensitive nowadays, we've gotten to the point we're afraid to joke because it will offend someone. Somewhere along the way...trash has become acceptable. What has happened to style, grace and dignity?
We need to start teaching ourselves again to be passionate and compassionate. We have to laugh, love and experience all the small wonders and beauty around us. We need to learn to take a joke again. We need to have more self respect. You can have dignity, class and style without being 'snooty.' If you don't know what any of this means. Find a dictionary, commit these to memory. It is ok to live by a standard, honor or a moral code without having to be religious. We all know right from wrong, well we should. Learn to love yourself and all of this falls into place.
