So i have finally accepted the fact that my brain is not normal. I can see things so clearly at times and yet everything feels so complicated. you ever have those moments of clarity where you think about something and you just see it so perfectly and you understand it and there's no confusion at all. But as soon as you try to put those thoughts into actions, it becomes so complicated that you don't know where to begin.
Life isn't really that complicated, we live and let live. we either accept people as they are or we let them keep moving. too many times we allow people into our lives that don't do a damn thing to enhance it but we hold on to them and we keep them around, why is that? I don't want anyone in my life that doesn't bring something positive to the table. I have plenty of negative, i don't need anybody else adding to it. That's not to say i'm a fair weather friend, if my friends have problems i will always be there to help in any way i can, that's me bring something positive to their lives. I want people around me like that. People who are comfortable enough with themselves that they don't have a problem being there for me when i need them.
We make it harder then it has to be when we start looking at people as how we think they should be versus how they really are. I was listening to the news this morning while getting dressed for work and Raul was talking to 2 women about why people settle in relationships. One of the things she said rang so loud and true to me that i am still thinking about it more then 5 hours later. She said we need to stop falling in love with peoples potential and learn to accept who they're showing us right now. No truer words ever spoken.
Too often we meet someone and we learn a little about them and all of a sudden we can see how great they could be or might be and we fall head over heels in love with the "Possibility" and we ignore the REALITY. I often tell people i meet that i'm not half the man i know i'm capable of being but i'm working on it. I don't want anyone falling in love with my potential, thats pressure that i don't need, see me for who I am right here right now flaws and all. The good, the bad the ugly and the down right scary. If you can see me for the person i am today and you can handle that, then maybe you have what it takes to stick around. Those are the people I will call Friends. Once you have that true solid foundation, that base of 100% open and acceptance, Then the possibilities are endless....
