Like a Good Neighbor 🍚
Can anyone spare some bad advice?
That's the kind I usually take.
A little bit of honesty,
covered in a thick layer of sugar,
should do the trick quite nicely.
I'll use it to bake the cake of heartache that I'll make after taking a break from the long look in the mirror that I need to take.
Thanks!

Author's Note
Felt like being playful.
Why do I talk myself into doing stupid things?
Really, the only thing worse than following someone else's bad advice...is following my own bad advice (which I do far too often).

Theres probably as many things being stupid that we all talk ourselves out of too
The stupid things we do, we remember more than those we don't
One should give praise, that not all things stupid are done
👌👍

Oh goodness, I didn't even think of that.
Thank goodness I don't do every stupid idea that comes to mind! 🤣
Life would be...interesting.

This had a light airy feel to it. I'm usually drawn to darker pieces but i dig this. Xo

The emanations of this write, a bit of cheek on the surface of deeper turmoil, regret, a general lack of understanding from others, it's something I often write about. I enjoy the tangent of that penultimate line in particular. Very much on my wavelength.

Thanks again, Daniel, for your understanding.
Bit o' honesty:
Most of my bad choices stem from being too romantically idealistic, convincing myself that I live in some stupid fairytale, and the possibility that someone, somewhere out there loves me as much as I love them will show up and save the day.
He'll be just like me, share the same passions and foolish heart, we'll be able to talk about our dreams and passions for hours, as well as being perfectly happy enjoying each others company for long periods of time in silence and while we will disagree...we'll never part.
Aaaaaand, then reality slaps me in the face and I realize I'm dreaming.
If ever I think, "Maaaaybe..." then I say something stupid, or act like an idiot, then run away.
It's not that I don't have a choice in guys...I just want "the" guy.
I don't like shallow guys.
I don't want to think, "The wheel is turning....but the hampster is dead."
It's hopeless.
I give up.

Hmph. I hear you. I think, for whatever genetic, biological or cosmic reason, there are people we resonate with very strongly. I've felt it myself, a very few times, the thrum of kismet, making every molecule of my being vibrate and the intrinsic knowing, this is someone I could give my heart to. It hasn't worked out thus far, I fucked it up or it didn't come together for whatever reason and, even then, perhaps we only have a time of joy together, but, that is all anyone can ask. Our lives are finite. The larger part of the pursuit of enlightenment is to be fully aware, fully engaged in the present moment. Through that, true joy arises.

You're very insightful. 🙂
And kismet is one of my favorite words! Reading it made me smile. 😁
