The Trouble with knowing

There's always that desire to know what goes on around us, we stress, strain and fight until the answers that we seek are inches from our grasp.

Here's the real strain, knowing. knowing what lies ahead of us, we think that we have it all figured out. That if we just knew where we were going, we could be in control. Take the wheel and steer right into the positive side.

Isn't the unknowing more fun? Is it not easy to live carefree and start anew? Let the anxiety and fear wash away and become that moment that was once dreaded. Life is deadly, in one way to the next. It is not simple, it is a twisty complexity of messes, a roller coaster without a stop.

So what is the trouble with knowing what lies ahead? Well in this twisty world, unpredictability is key. Why plan and set aside, straining your very being with the stress and anticipation only to be let down by the outcome, this my friends happens 9/10 times.  Plans are created because that's all it is a plan, you plan and plan and forget the real reason behind knowing what is going to happen. The fun becomes a bird that flies out of the window, so quickly it laughs at you silently as it slowly motions to you the middle finger.

You have to stop and reevaluate the cycle of life that you have are living in. The repeat cycle that never reaches the rinse. Your'e stuck and your guarded and that's okay because that is the life that you were programmed to believe in. We teach our children in the ways of society and they are locked into an unbreakable contract in a cycle that never ceases, because it is easier to know then enjoy the unknowing that lies ahead. There is a point where the cycle must stop and the action to not know what the future holds grabs us, and the relief sets in. Giving the thankfulness that we woke up another day alive.

In the mist of the twist you have to stop and smell the roses because the trouble with knowing, is that you know where your going.
Can you live with the unpredictable?
Thank you,

The Things We May Never Know. Curiosity.

I know curiosity has killed the cat over and over. Maybe, even longer than 9 times. But, our curiosity seems to never fade. As humans we always find things to oogle over. The things that make us question what is acceptable. Its actually quite funny. The big picture, I mean. How we stop and stare and ponder over the things we may never fully know about. There's a lot isn't there? We may stop and question things we desire the answers too. What about the questions that do not have answers the ones that leave open ended responses to be filled with the imaginative curiosity. Those my friends are the ones to ponder over.  We typically assume that every question has an answer, but do they? Do they have to? and (Every so popularly) Why? Like you, I'm not sure of that. Not all questions have answers just like not all actions come with reason. Some times the things we don't understand happen out of circumstance with no reason or meaning. They just do.  I know that ...

When I say , "I miss you"

When I say, "I Miss You" August 27, 2018 | MissTaylor When I say you I miss you, the words are empty. Sure that may sound heartless to most but to me the emptiness speaks of something that USED to be there. When I say I miss you, I miss the person you used to be, I miss the long talks, the laughs and the dumb things we'd do. When I say I miss you, I am grieving a loss, not a physical one but an emotion, and mental one. because the person I once loved so deeply has changed, I have lost you, I am abandoned. So when I say, I miss you. I am holding back, holding back from exploding with words of rage over how things have changed. How the bad outweighs the good to you and the person I once knew is gone. So when I say, I miss you be thankful that I am saying it at all. That the one shred of hope that I have left for you is hanging on because we walk a thin line together now, one that may tear us apart forever. When I say I mi...

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...
