Passion, Honesty and "Emotional"


For a very long time, I have been referred to and labeled as "Emotional". I always looked at this as such a bad thing and only recently have I recognized that it ain't that bad. The reason being, is because I feel. I am recognizably high and very low. What the HELL is so wrong with that. Nothing, I say. At least when you deal with me, you can have an understanding of what is going on. As opposed to those who mask their feelings to play the game...be it the game of life, the professional (and by professional I mean politics at work) game, the love game, whatever the case may be. It has always been that someone is trying to "tame" me, quiet me, or lead me in the direction of "controling my emotions".


I am very passionate and honest. The two combined are not what the mass expect on a daily basis. I guess this is part of what makes me unique. Ask for my opinion, and you will get it. It may not always be what you WANT to hear. And isn't that really all most people CAN hear? Typically, very selective hearing.


Most people are looking out for themselves. It's not very often that you have a person in your life who believes in looking out for you, because if you do that, it will be paid back in so many larger ways and far more rewarding.


Never forget, you are the only one that is with you 24/7. Can you live with yourself with every action you take and word that you speak?


For those of you reading, I love you for who you are and how you have touched my life.
