Like Most


  Living in my limited world all these years, well prior to me becoming computerized I had settled in to thinking I was unique and in my own minority. As I became more comfortable on the computer which to me became my Pandora’s Box, opening me up to people and ways of life far beyond which my mind could even think. Without a passport or leaving the comfort of my home I got to speak with people from other countries. I got to speak and got to know some really nice people and some cat fishers and more than my share of perverts…… a lot of pervs.

    By exposing myself, let me clear that one up, by making myself pronounced on certain networking/ social media sites , I am connecting and being opened up to everyday and extraordinary  people with their own stories and accomplishments. Some like myself have been struggling and fighting their way out of a paper bag and some actually finding a way to conquer and inspire. When someone shares with me their struggles and that something I wrote struck a chord and made them feel not so alone in their misery or inspired them to not be scared or isolated or stuck; that’s when I get that ah ha moment. I am not the only one going through what ever I am going through or not the only one that grew up not so balanced. It also takes me out of the unique or minority because there are a lot more like me in my exact position so I guess that kind of makes me normal….lol

Swallowing an Elephant

You know that joke/riddle How do you eat an elephant? A-One bite at a time. For most that seems to be the most logical.

Apparently, there are some lucky individuals out there who can unhinge their jaw and eat an elephant in one or two tries so that sets the bar for everyone else. I am not so blessed to be able to unhinge my jaw and swallow large objects.    My capacity to learn and adapt to familiar things that need to be dusted off and new ways takes more than a day or two. I know the elephant swallowers are in high demand and get cut higher respect but I feel the nibblers are just as worthy. Patience is a skill that has been slacking both in the people who want to try to make a nibbler into a swallower and those who are observing and comparing; even the nibbler wanting to be perfect...

Breathing

When someone asks me how I am I usually respond with okay which means nothing bad or good is going on. When things aren’t so okay I reply with “I’m barely breathing” which means I’m highly stressed out over something. When I listen to meditation videos they always start out with deep breathing, at first, I thought it was kind of silly to concentrate so much on breathing. I also started to notice my breathing when I was stressed out or intensely involved in something. I have two destructive breathing patterns that take place, I either over breath or shallow breathe; sometimes I even subconsciously hold my breath. None of the three poor breathing methods make a happy functioning body. It’s funny to have to learn how to breath properly because it’s something we do automatically.    With some unknown allergies or on and off sinus issues I already face upper repertory struggles at times. When I over breath due to some hidden or not so hidden stress I notice changes in my bod...
