...

Ever feel invisible?

(I tried to find a picture by googling "invisible",

and photos of people without heads creeped me out more 

than illustrated what I'm feeling, so I went with blank space).

One of those days...

Question

I feel like I'm questioning

everything these days.

It's annoying.

Not feeling confident about things is

not a place I enjoy being.

But, is questioning a bad thing?

The answer is yes AND no.

So - now, I'm questioning questioning?

I want to 

get away from 

here, 

there...

everywhere.

"Go to your bosom: Knock there, and ask your heart what it doth know"

William Shakespeare

Miley Cyrus, I'm sorry.

I heard a really unfortunate conversation yesterday.

Now, I know that in 2012 people talk about things like
celebrity break ups and "what is she wearing"
like their lives depend on it.

(Your life, by the way, does not depend on it.)

I've gotten used to this...

I check www.people.com like the rest of you

(and if you say you don't, I'm not sure I believe you).

However, what I over heard yesterday makes me 

rethink humanity as a whole.

I was in line at the grocery store, behind 

2 (what I thought) would be intelligent teenage girls.

Not the case.

The conversation started innocently enough, I guess,

discussing the latest on Miley Cyrus' hair cut.

She went from this:

 

To This:

(As if you didn't already know that)

Anyways, I was SO shocked about what the girl's had to say.

They reasoned why she would cut her hair,

and what would happen to her now that she had

apparently ruined her life.

Reason Why Miley Cut her Hair (According To today's Youth)

1 - She's a lesbian

What? Because a girl cut her long hair,

she is a lesbian?

That is so offensive!

(To lesbians AND to women with short hair)

What Will Happen To Miley Now (According to Today's Youth)

1 - Future marriage - over.

2 - Hot fiance - leaving her "skanky ass"

 

So, according to these super dumb teenagers,

because Miley is "so ugly" now, her fiance is going to 

come to his senses, and dump her.

 

UGH. I'm so sad for these girls.

They are under the assumption that

hair cuts change sexuality, and cause

fiance's to leave you.

 

This has proven to me that what I see on 

Pinterest, etc. about fluffy quotes on

loving yourself for who you are,

living your life to the fullest,

don't judge, be happy, you can do anything you want!

is crap.

 

Or, do all of those things,

just make sure you have long hair.

Or else, you'll die a lonley lesbian.

 

 SAD DAY.

ps - Miley Cyrus, I love your hair. Both ways.

 

Who Are You?

Do you think anyone really knows who you are?

Are you authentic? 

Do you show your true self to anyone?

Not to get all "Oprah" on you,

but I think true authenticity is a hard thing to do.

My husband and I are currently going through the TV series Dexter.

A brilliant show about a sociopathic serial killer, who feels nothing,

but has to pretend to get through life.

He has a girlfriend, a family, coworkers.

He pretends to smile, pretends to enjoy life,

makes love to his girlfriend, goes bowling...

but nobody knows who he really is.

(Well, his sociopathic serial killer brother does - but I don't want to spoil anything).

It's got me thinking since...

Who Are You?

When are you most real? Most truthful?

 Most honest about who you really are,

what you really believe,

what you REALLY think?

Things to think about.

"There are no secrets in life, just hidden truths that lie beneath the surface." 

- said by Dexter Morgan, from the TV show Dexter

 

Eyes Wide Open

I was asked recently, by a professional in the mental health industry,

if I always "say so much with my eyes".

I guess I have what you might call

expressive eyes. I say a lot with them,

and if you know me, (and even if you don't)

it's pretty easy to tell what I'm thinking/feeling/saying

with my big ol' eyes.

I roll them, bulge them, squint them, look disgusted with them,

laugh with them, smile with them. 

(And no, I do not use the term "Smize", 

get over yourself Tyra Banks).

 

 

My eyes are like an extension of my already

too honest personality. I wish I could change it,

but I can't! 

(Do I really wish I could change it? No.)

If I'm alarmed at what you're doing,

my eyes give me away every time.

 

Did you just say something dumb?

Oh, my eyes will let you know I think so.

So, now, I'm my attempt to keep my

mouth shut more,

my eyes are WIDE OPEN and letting you

know what's up.

Don't hate the player, hate the game!
