Pain

Sometimes we need to be hurt in order to grow. We must lose in order to gain. Sometimes some lessons are learned best through pain.

Ordinary vs Extraordinary

The ordinary focus on what they’re getting. The extraordinary think about who they’re becoming.

If you indeed wish to show support for a loved one...

If you indeed wish to show support for a loved one...

You have to meet them where they are,

and not hold them hostage to where they have been...

A Thousand Broken Pieces

 
If one dream should fall and break into a thousand 

pieces, never be afraid to pick one of those pieces 

up 

and begin again.

The Passive Aggressive Population in California

I moved to California on the spur of the moment.

I left everything in NYC and left.

I expected it to be a magnificent place .....but the weather is the only pleasurable part.

I thought the people would be so caring and nice.

I mean how could someone be depressed or sad in such glorious weather?

Life will be paradise.

Well, I have travelled the globe many times over

I have lived all of the world and have seen and experienced many things most could not even fathom.

I loved the various cultures and people everywhere I went or lived.

NEVER in My life have I ever encountered people like I have had the misfortune of meeting here in California.

Everyone appears nice and cordial......even pretend to be your friend......but always for allterior and self seeking reasons.

A soon as you turn your back.....you will receive a deadly stab in the back.

PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE

I have never experienced anything like it.

So concentrated.

It seems like a unspoken part of the culture here.

~~~

I have experienced one bad experience after another here.

I left the wretched city of San Diego.

Again on a whim.

I was allured to Palm Springs by a nice house and promises of a helpful and caring community of people.

I was offered assistance to organize my spread out world.

It was a thing that was, it seemed, coming from an unselfish and kind place.

I soon .... very soon .... saw and experienced the fact that it was another bunch of non-sense.

Nothing promised was done.

One even caused me great damage because it was very time sensitive!

~~~

Now, WHY even offer anything if you do not intend to fulfill your word.

After all, as they say....a man (or woman) is nothing.....if they do not have a reliable and accountable WORD?

Nothing of substance.

Nothing to take seriously.

A nothing of a human being.

I would love to hear the other similar tragedies...)

Life is Not Easy...

Life is simple, its just not easy.

Kills You

No matter how bad things get, you must rise and keep on living, even if it kills you.
