That makes sense to me, but I think there are lessons a long the way so sometimes who we get is there for a reason and it still may be frustrating.  I don't know, people have always frustrated the hell out of me.  I suppose I'll always have good writing material.  But, really, this is about me, too, just finding it so very hard to be vulnerable when I want to and need to.  I think I show up angry when I mean to show up another way, you know?  Grrrr.  Thanks for reading!  Nice to see you again. :)

Hi Temple, this one struck a chord with me. I have often felt stranded
on my own island around certain people and situations thinking what planet are you people from??!! Fortunately there are others that get me though, I guess sometimes you just have to be honest about who you are instead of undermining youself and settling for mediocre relationships and sharings. I think when we're authentic with ourselves, the world starts to reflect it back but we need to really choose it first.

Well, it's easiest for me to speak from dark recesses here.  Without my keyboard (the metaphorical lady pen) to fondle, I wouldn't survive.  But, it's not the same as speaking voice to heart in person...being able to tear down walls and misconceptions of "yes, I'm fine."  It needs to be done, those heart to hearts, in real life sometimes... and it's all tangled up with, I want to tell you this, but I don't want to look weak, so just read my mind already.  I really operate like a man emotionally in person on some levels, believe it or not.  Anyhoo, it's a process.  Like it all is, no.  xoxo...

Thanks for stopping by and leaving a footprint.   I'm glad you liked it.  I love the painting also, although I don't personally know the artist.  I just discovered her one day looking for an image that suited my mood.  She really is quite talented, indeed. :)

Temple,
This is nice.  And I also like the painting,"Blue Duo", done by your friend.  :)

We were on the phone when you looked it up before, but I'm not sure what that has to do with this.  Or... what POETRY means.  Thanks for reading though.
