The pressure to BE you.

Yeah, I said that as a title because we talk about the pressure to conform or complete a task and are always confronted with witless banter and ways to enhance behaviours but it is rarely talked about that there are pressures when it comes to being ourselves.

What?! I know you would think it's quite easy to stop acting a fool and just be you but not everything is as it seems because you may have family breathing down your neck, a boss that wants to see if you're ready for a higher up position. So your strained you want to be you but then again you really want that job because it offers amazing benefits and you might have that one Aunt that is "holier than though" so in a way you are pressured to live up to expectations.

Trust me, I've been there and although I say Dare to be different and be yourself. Well, I truly mean it. If family out of all people can't accept you for you and the choices you make cut them off because they are offering nothing but added pressure. There is too much of it already in our lives.
Hypothetically, If the dream job that you chase is so important your boss shouldn't expect change but appreciate the talents that you bring to the table and even possible business ideas for the future.

It is a constant strain, a fight within ourselves to be subjected to these pressures but I reassure you that an in between is possible, always and I implore you to always be yourself. The goofy, the weird all of it. Like I sad before NO Stepford's here. If you believe in a higher power and in a way I do, you would believe that we were given our unique personalities to make life interesting and that we were designed as individuals. so screw the expectations because even though the in between will always be hovering over us we take control and "dare to be individual"

That could be a slogan! Just trying to keep everyone on a positive note, even though a New Year may mean "New things" it doesn't mean that we will keep that momentum.


Thanks guys

Just A Stay At Home?

I know what you guys are thinking! oh no she's not actually doing it. Shocker, Yes, I'm writing about being a mom. To even it out a stay at home parent. Haha. Did I catch you there, this isn't just to you females that don't break even for that 24/7 job that pays zero. I have to give attention where attention is due because a stay at home Dad?.. Yeah, that a thing too. Props to you daddies that do it! Alot of the time, well lets face it ALL of the time stay at home parents are underestimated and taken for granted because Hello, What do they do all day? Do you really want to know? The list is comprised of over 5,000 things. Oh yes, not an exaggeration either. There are the chores of the house, the dealings with the child/children. We all know how demanding they are. You can't go two seconds without being sucked back to a child's needs. When they start to crawl even walk. The Race is on, the great escape more like it. Once they can walk, they will be running fro...

Whispers To You

Shh. Do you hear that? Make sure you are listening in close, I'm only going to repeat this once. I'm saying this hushed now because its a secret and I only want you to know. Do you know why? Because you are the person I hold close, the one that I want to share things with. I know you won't tell a soul because if you did, you would betray my trust and once its gone you cannot get it back.  Did you get it? Did you hear my message clearly. Please nod if you understand. I have a fear that what I say might scare you away. I only want to be honest with you. Know that my intentions are pure . I only mean to make you see,  to understand the voices in my head. The ones that scream at me, I know that you cannot physically hear them but I would like for you to know what they say. The dark things they tell me to do. The desperation in their voices when I fight back. Its consuming me.  Please don't turn away, like I'm a freak, I'm only human and I cannot help...
