High Road

A man and I share a work space...He shows disdain for me...I was listing his positive traits to a woman

she classified it as taking the "high road" ...a person disliking me does not negate his superior qualities...

Elton John

Elton John has said that the elaborate costumes he wore while he was performing was a compensation for his insecurities...

What we do not know about people's self view and how they display it may suggest that we be open to wishing them wellness and a sense of peace....even if from a distance

Knee-Jerk Reaction

I am in my first male/female relationship.   The relationship has sprung up a new campus of self- education.

A key discovery was my continuum of  certain knee-jerk reactions.   While engaging in a sex life with a boyfriend...I would think or say, no-one would have any sexual interest in me...."it is just not
possible"

Even though the man involved has told me he loved me, I told a close friend that, a man would not love me...

Awareness starts change

Not a Bust

I have a male friend.  I have been friends with him for over five years.   A woman considers him my super crush and suggests I cease being friends with him.

The man keeps me in the knowledge that everything I need is inside of me.....I am smart...and empowers me in other ways...

I refuse to believe that the friendship is a bust because I am not making out with him...

Reacting to the Reaction

I am starting to practice not to anticipate reactions...react when I am faced with the behavior or reaction

Boyish

I have been "seeing" a  26 year man.   He was smiling a lot yesterday.....I usually think of him with fierce intent...

When I looked at him smiling and laughing with one of my best friends...the first word that sprung to
my mind was boyish....how boyish he was

Then again, he is 26, of course he is boyish ...

Advice is all Around Us

Clearly, certain people, appear to, feel quite comfy cozy dispensing advice...

A  borderline homeless woman gives, me,  advice on how "to save money"

A man, deep in his addiction, advises me on the destruction of  poor eating and sleeping habits..

Ironically, I do not suggest they make any changes to their lives...when they are ready, their change has a greater potential of coming...
