After taking a week to decompress and relax this past week on my honeymoon, it’s finally time to get back to reality. Back to the normality that is my everyday life. Time to face things. Face life.
I won’t lie, I’m not ready. It’s nice not having to worry about things, but here they lie in wait. Even the personal, internal things that were put away and ignored. You would think we would take the breaks to work on things, but doesn’t always happen that way.
As humans I guess we just constantly look for escapes. We always daydream about better things for ourselves and our loved ones, some simple, and some grandiose. I frequently think of dreams I’ve had, am having, or the death of such. Time stops for no one.
So many cliches, sayings, and affirmations. Where would one even begin? Even though life was put on hold for a bit, things are still waiting, still hidden away. Reality sets in. Gotta keep it real. The depression, body issues, the mental issues, and the need to continue dealing with my abuse is still there.
It’s time to wake up. Even though life on the outside seems to be great, there are things that most are not aware of. Until you walk a mile in one’s shoes… that’s one way I try to live my life… how I believe we should all live our lives. Being considerate, kind, and imagining yourself in the other persons place.
Often I wonder, people really don’t know me, my situation, my hopes, dreams, etc. And I do try to be understanding and considerate of others. The world would be a better place if it were that way, but unfortunately it’s not. The solution I suppose is to focus on self, and let the chips fall where they may.
Like attracts like, at least that’s how the saying goes. I swear most of the time, at least with me, it doesn’t seem that way. I try to be a good person and treat others the way I would like to be treated. With society the way it is today, it really doesn’t seem to be reciprocated. Has it ever?
Enough of the rambling and hyperbole… bottom line is I need to wake up, not live in a dream state. Would be nice, but reality needs my, our attention. Like the quote says: “A dream doesn’t become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.”
Wakey wakey.

“Dreamers
They never learn
They never learn
Beyond the point
Of no return
Of no return
Then it’s too late
The damage is done
The damage is done”
