The Inner "You"

Who are you on the inside? Are you different from the "You" that is shown? We all have an inner someone, someone that is dying to get out and show their true colors. Someone that is a surprising part of ourselves, maybe we are more open, full of pride, brave. Why do we have these alter egos? Why not have the ability to express ourselves fully. One answer "Society" societal standards have led us to conform and fit into the majority, leaving our individuality at the corner of "Nowhere" and "Never To Be Seen" We practically leave ourselves in the dust. Even those that say " I'm not like the rest" You are without knowing it, you've tried to fit into the mold. Trust me I'm guilty of it. My inner self, I call her my inner goddess, yells constantly because the mold is becoming just that Black Mold. It's toxic and now more than ever we need to embrace our uniqueness and become individuals in all aspects. I personally would rather know the inner you, then the self that is portrayed. I'm going to make this clear though because it's not my job to offend people. There is nothing wrong with trying to fit in with society, if you feel you need to, do it. I'm not a hateful person that's going to hate on someone for fitting in. There is too much negativity if you don't. Yeah, I'm sure we all have had a run in with our fair share of bullying. I want to express that the inner you should be loved as much as your projection if society would change the standards that it has adopted, we could run, wild and crazy. If labels were thrown in the trash, self-expression would not be limited to a genre. I myself am, not defined by what I wear, If I want to wear all black one day and the next have bright red roses printed on my pants the next I will. It should not be about what everyone else is doing but by what you want to do. It's simple and the more I sat and think about it, wouldn't the world be a happier place, if self-expression was embraced? I can imagine that, Yes, we might still have the political issues we have but a lot of our problems from a sociable point of view would end. A lot of the violence and deaths would stop, the rate of being bullied would decrease and communities would essentially be safer. If only we could rewind time with the knowledge that we have now, We take so much for granted and often resent the people we turn out to be, we forget the discipline of our past for the spoiled luxuries of the future. Our inner selves are suppressed, forever stuck at the corner street waiting on the bus to bring them to the surface. What do you think?

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 ...

Brush the Dust off

Brush The Dust Off November 11, 2018 | M. Jackson Brush the dust off darling, the pain won't last long. Brush the dust off honey and smile, your beauty will mask the pain. Brush the dust off love, Pain is just a temporary burden, your strength is long lasting. Brush the dust off and stand up,and love yourself. Brush the dust off and walk along the path that was meant for you. Things may seem hard now but its only temporary, like the dust on your clothes, the darkness can be wiped away. You can start again and you can find the light. Too many times the fight is harder than you think and giving up seems easy but fighting gives life, changes and shapes you into a hardened creature with the world on her back. Its easier to give up but giving them a reason to stare is all worth while. We are meant to shine, not to be stifled by "I cannot" or " you cannot" when in reality you can and you will. You are meant...

Why Do I Care So Much?

Why do I care so much, why do I give a damn? All I seem to do is try and try to be there and to give my undivided self to everybody. I think I love so intensely that even the slightest inconvenience to someone that I care about is debilitating and tears me to pieces. Naturally, I do not want to see anyone hurt, sad. If I can't help, Im helpless. Hopeless and feeling like a waste of space. Why do I care so much? Maybe it is a gift. Maybe it is a cruel injustice that's been given. Then I have to stop and think. If not me, then who? If I wasn't there to care about someone, would someone else. I may not be the best person to ask for advice or the greatest friend who never screws up, but I have love, an open heart and the open mindedness of someone who has never known pain. Even though, I've been through trials, heart break and gut wrenching tears. Every chance shouldn't be the last, every love deserves attention. So Why do I care so much? Why does plain Jane, lil old me...
