The Boxer Briefings

The only thing that people really, really want is a pair of eyes to look into or ears to listen to them. They want to feel secure in them, to feel safe, unjudged, and loved for their worst and their best, but loved sincerely. When a person finds those eyes, they do all that they can to keep their attention. I hope to find in you, "the eyes and ears", a resting place for my point of view.

Paper Cuts

You know what the hardest thing to do is? Did that sentence make sense? Anyway, I think one of the hardest things to do is to stop being mad at someone. Forgiveness, you may be capable of, but that forget thing is a mother.

I hate being mad over little stuff, that ain't got nothing to do with big stuff.
I hate having to use the word hate.
I hate being misunderstood, or misjudged.
I hate not having fair audience or counsel to hear grievences.
I hate being upset over paper cuts.

When you are really upset, or disturbed by someone's actions and the situation is resolved, it is rare that you are cleared of all the peripheral emotions you felt surrounding it. It is hard to laugh and smile again. It is hard to share that inside joke. It is difficult to respect where whatever they did was coming from.

It is hard, but if you are truly friends, you will. Even if it is something petty. After all, paper cuts hurt the worst, but they heal the fastest.

    So real.

    The Karma wheel is an interesting thing. Energy just continues to be passed along and manifests itself in other forms. It's a waste of energy to put negative vibes out there over little stuff.

    Forgiveness is golden... I hope I am.

    It's a great feeling when you can share those inside jokes again...
