USE YOUR WORDS!!!

This is going to be a very short, very direct, and very punchy entry (well, short is a relative term for me).

During this time of quarantine and pandemics, we all realize that life is short. It can change at the drop of a dime. Everything that we’ve known can be upended.

Now is not the time to be timid, or frightful. Now is not the time to be timorous and scared. Now is not the time to keep back what you want or need to say.

Now IS the time to bold and courageous and to face life and its challenges head on. Now is the time to try and move forward before life gets in the way. It’s simply the time to drop the pretense, the charades, and the masks and be open and honest with yourself.

If it’s one thing I’ve learned during this pandemic is this–life is too short, too difficult, and too hard to carry any stuff that is unnecessary. I’m not talking about physical stuff, but I’m talking about the stuff that weighs down your soul and your spirit. Life is too short to be walking around with masks hiding who you are inside or what you want to say.

Let’s talk about tea for a moment. Aficionados use teapots. Now if you’ve ever poured hot water from a teapot into a cup, you know one of two things can happen. The water will flow in a perfect arc from the pot to the cup. OR, if you don’t pour it correctly, it will dribble down the side of the spout onto the table.

Here’s the thing. If you are careful, too cautious, etc…the latter is what will happen. But if your pour boldly? Without any fear? Everything works out as planned.

I have to admit, I’ve had reason to write this post. I’m glad to report though that people using their words is the only thing I’ll respond to, and words are the only things I’ll use. I’m far too tired, weary and bone-fatigued to do anything else. I realized that playing games is the childish and immature thing to do and I will NOT reward that kind of behaviour. NOT NOW, NOT EVER.

So…people, USE YOUR WORDS. You’ll thank me for it 😀 I’m still deciding if this is a White-Point Star Diamond sort of message. It’s a Doctor Who reference. It might be. Truth be told? I’m just happy that I’ve come so far in my therapy walk that I feel the need to celebrate it by a rousing entry. 😀
