Always Learning

Starting with a blank page, new spot…anything is possible!

See when you’re born, you know nothing. You don’t see; don’t even know you have hands, feet, even a heart. As you grow, you learn about movement, how to eat, how to sleep; but what is never, or really can’t be, taught to you is how to feel.

You just start feeling, beginning with happiness seeing your parents faces, their kisses and cuddles and even a full belly. No one ever tells you how hard life will be, no matter the money you do or don’t have, the friends, the connections, the education.

It’s not getting a job, that new pair of shoes or awesome technological crap, you worry about. It’s eventually finding someone who makes you feel whole, who guides you, listens, cries with you; someone who makes you always feel you have a reason and a purpose.

See, some of us get lost. Addiction, anger, pain, tears, careers, anything, at times, gets in the way of our sight. We can see the road in front of us, but fear taking it. Possibilities of rejections, completion, love, sadness, rage, laughter; it’s all a scary little story we tell ourselves so we don’t take those chances, we don’t jump into that water and try to swim, we don’t drive that car, we don’t love that person, hell, maybe we don’t even have that friend or try that awesome spice filled, kick ass dish your drool over on TV.

Although, when we reach a certain age, we officially become an adult. Getting a job or career, a new or used car, a house or apartment, college or no college; we are all constantly still learning, suffering through the what if’s, through feeling programed to be what society or other “loved”ones want us to be. We never take the time to breathe, step back and realized, “I’m a fucking adult! I have responsibilities, but I am still learning; I CAN DO THIS”!

See we all try so hard to please this human or otherwise, we don’t spend the time to think of ourselves. Taking care of ourselves to be loved, hugged, laughed with, and kissed! We are not a new born, toddlers or teenagers. We are adults, still learning how to breathe through many times and points of our lives, learning to still see that road and try to make it over those bumps because, well, we are still trying to grasp onto what may be real and what may not be real, that we scare ourselves out of actually living!

Everyone is different in all their own unique ways, some less understanding then others, but maybe if we take the time to listen, to feel and hear others, we would all be a little happier. Everyone has a good heart, everyone is kind, sometimes some of us, well, are just blind or in other words, just don’t see that road yet, that path that some may call redemption, but I like to call fun filled laughter, candy canes, a beer, good food, tears and happiness! No one has a road or path that is perfect, we all lay down the stones our own way, on our own time, but, we just need to learn on our own how to.

(My page is filled, with insightful words, maybe sightless meaning, but my heart is happy and there’s a smile on my damn face!)
