I'm just having one of those days.
One of those days that start out great, simply because you woke up, and turn out horribly. And trust me, I'm a completely optimistic person. Having a horrible day is so rare for me because I know that having a life is worth more than not having one. It's really as simple as that.
Except today.
Today, I just can't seem to understand that. I guess I'm just... having one of those days; and those kinds of days get me thinking. A lot. Actually, they get me thinking so much, that I want to severely stab myself in the temple with a rusty spoon just to get myself to shut up. Of course, I don't. I end up endlessly torturing myself by these sharp thoughts that just cut, stab, prick, slice, and prod at my brain until I am exhausted. Utterly and completely exhausted. So you can imagine having one of those days, and feeling exhausted because my mind just won't stop thinking. It's like a form of torture. So because of this, I am here. Transforming my feelings and energy through my fingettips onto this page. Well, screen.
Anyway, I guess in a nutshell, today sucked. Not necesarilly for any particular reason, but simply because I can't find the ability to dig through the bad to find the good. I'm just lacking that energy to want to explore through a pile of dog shit to find a diamond necklace. Sorry, it's just not there today. So, maybe I should stop ranting and actually get started on my post. If there actually was a reason for this post. Probably not. You tell me if this post was worth reading at the end.
Tonight, I'm going to talk about humans. Of course. Just like every other day. But, more specifically I want to talk about our ability to truly understand other people around us. Whether that's your parents, your friends, your siblings, or even your teachers. If we can't have a meaningful conversation with someone, then they're simply not worth our time. Seriously.
It quite honestly amazes me the way people throw around the phrase "I understand" so much. It's the same way with "I love you" or "I miss you". It's all just syllables exiting our mouths. They don't really mean anything. Those are just que words that are used to close a conversation. I would respect people more if they just said "shut up", or something that is more honest.
Back to the point; as humans, we need to learn to address other people's feelings and emotions in order to really understand. But just note, you'll never truly understand 100%. Maybe you are in a similiar situation, but just remember that everyone's life is different. There's no direct cooralition. No matter how much we want to tell ourselves that. So, with that, just know that you'll never really understand. Ever. But the key to helping people is by trying to understand. Or if you don't even want to try to understand because you can't fathom the situation, at least accept it. Don't fight something that's not your business. Let them handle their issues.
Let me do my own thing, and don't hold me back.
Have a good night everyone. Hope it's better than mine.

Misunderstood
Are you aware of how hard it is to talk to someone who doesn't know an ounce of your native language? Or, if you don't know an ounce of their native language. Well, all I can say is that the words that come out of your mouth start to mean nothing! Now, you have to utilize your body movements in order to explain what would so easily be understood if you only knew eachothers language. Maybe you can attempt common hand signals to try to explain what you're trying to say, but either way what's important is that what words come out of your mouth literally mean nothing. They just become sounds that were once blended together.
So, after struggling with the challenge of speaking to another person without really speaking, start to think about things you can't really explain, even with a voice. Sometimes even when we try to explain the way we feel or think to someone, the same frustration that comes with not knowing a common language suddenly returns. Your hands start tingling and moving with the sounds of your voice, but really nothing is understood. You're trying so hard to explain why you are who you are, but everyone just gives you a blank face that only irritates you. Now you've begun to try harder. You're head is throbbing with ideas of how to translate what you feel is important, but keep in mind this person speaks your language! You're trying to yell, change your tone of voice, but only sounds come out. That other person, doesn't care. You're now isolated. Misunderstood. Now what do you do?
Walk away and enjoy your isolation. Were you shunned out of the society that has been created because you simply can't agree with their silent ways? That's fine. Be proud of it. Shout it at to the world, even though really they can't hear you. They're stuck in their small world of lines and squares. But you sir, you live in circles and ovals. Nothing is simple in your world. You are challenged with the thought of a world of isolation. But just enjoy it. Enjoy the fact that you can ignore what the other people say, because they don't talk. Yes, I know. It's crazy since you're the same species. You all have the ability to talk, yell, scream, even whisper. But, you're the only one who does. So don't save your voice for a time when you can actuallly talk to someone, because no one knows when that day will come.

Soul food right here
Why, hello there! Tonight, my mood soars like that of a butterfly! And how can I confirm this? Well, I just compared myself to a butterfly, and did not gag due to the tackiness. This, my friends, is a sign that I am not only happy with my life, but I am incredibly balanced.
Oh, I know what you're thinking... "You're seriously going to write about the importance of a balanced life again?!" Woah! Calm yourselves. Tonight, I'm actually going to write about... Drumroll please...
The soul!
Oh my, I could go on forever about what our soul is, but honestly, everyone has their own view of what exactly it is. Stephenie Meyer, who wrote The Host viewed it as a silver slime looking thing that was removed from the neck and could be transferred into different host bodies. Although I totally love that book, I disagree. I don't think of it as a phyical being. I compare the soul to the wind. It's obviously there because you can feel it, but it's not something that you can see or grasp. It's almost like a concept. But, my view also runs parallel to Stephenie Meyer's when her view of the soul is what happens after it is transferred to a different host body. That soul, or who that person truly is simply placed into a new body. They can then control that body, and do with it as it pleases. Almost like reincarnation. Except in her novel, it's not a natural process like reincarnation is known to be. It's humans and doctors phsically moving that physical entity into a host body.
Okay, I'm getting carried away. Before I tell you everything that happens in that book, I would love to get back on track. So basically what I was trying to get across is that the soul can not be identified. It can't be confirmed, grasped, or handled. Well, in my opinion. Because of this, it drives humans crazy because we can't control it! The soul is where our feelings and emotions originate from. But, we can't control those! And doesn't that drive you crazy?! I know it drives me insane when I want to be one way, but I'm not feeling like that at all. So I'm ending my exhausting explanation by saying, feed the soul.
If you can't control it, let it control you. If it asks for more coffee because it craves it, than do it. If it gives your heart a squeeze because you need more love in your life, go get a dog or something. If it yearns for a little music, listen to what makes it happy. Oh, and learn to worship it, because when your soul has been fed to the brink, and it's content with all you've given it, you will finally feel happy. The soul is the most important part of you. Don't abuse it. Love it.
