A Moment to be serious

Sometimes you just don't get enough of those, and here is the thing if you don't balance right between your seriousness and your craziness then you end up on sided over the other in the eyes of other people. I know these things to be true. I also know that I'm caught in a bad place because of this. Emotionally I am suffering because of it.

What can you do? How do you get a good change going for you if everyone around you is rooting you deep in the thing that you're really not? How do you keep the people around you from tearing apart the small and hopeful fragments of your stability? They don't know of course, because you haven't told them. You haven't told them because they think you are stronger than you really are. In fact they think they're funny. What a terrible combination.

Here comes the kicker, you want to believe it. That's why you're not saying anything about it. That's why day after day you sit there wondering what to do and don't take actions, because you believe you are strong enough to deal with on your own. Who do you tell? Who is going to offer up their "funny" advice, that in the end is going to make you angry you even said a word.


A little kingdom I possess, where thoughts and feelings dwell; And very hard the task I find of governing it well.
Louisa May Alcott1832-1888, American Author
