Adulthood is weird......i don't feel it

Hello to all that is dear to me.

That includes me and me and only Me. How often do we criticize and are hypocritical of ourselves. Probably none too often. But if we cut to the chase all we want to do is protect ourselves.While I was networking on Facebook the other day, I came across this status of a friend that comes to mind "These are the marks that words have left on me".It seems very poignant and thoughtful .
I usually like to protect myself from a persons brutal,sarcastic or flippant remark by ignorance or playing deaf.It gets me nowhere as the other person always finds that the target of bigger and better amusement.All i need to do is find a better outlook of dealing with another persons' negativity toward me.Retaliating in kind is not an option as you make yourselves come down to their level of innate childishness.
My new motto is to stay as impersonal as you can get to another's words.They could never have the Power to reduce you to a sobbing nincompoop unless you allow them to.My source of inspiration comes when there are huge family gatherings.You get to meet people who you are desperately trying to avoid and then there is a death,or a birth ,anniversary or weddings that demand your presence.I am always amazed at the meet and greet section when someone comes up to you and immediately addresses you on how many pounds you have lost or added to yourself. And  Hello,to them too. That's exactly what we were looking for. A walking weighing scale who reports our every progress. Right on Spot.
I believe everyone has their own load to carry.Not all of us can be diplomatic when showing our disdain and being condescending to another who hasn't earned it is just plain mean and uncalled for. Who are we to be judgmental and articulate opinions based on another persons' weight. If not but a kind word , I feel if there is something on our mind and it needs an outlet. At the very least give it some thought before it slips out of your mouth carelessly.

Mental Blocks

Its been one of those many tiring unproductive come wasteful days where you wake up feeling like the Prince of Persia but slowly as the day progresses your smile gets fixed. Your back seems to welcome constant aches in it and all you want to do is fling a ball the size of a globe at all those cheerful people who you come across everyday. It is never their fault that everything seems to work out perfectly well for them. But just because my day isn't going well,who gives me the right to feel the need to wipe the smile of any cheerful Harry.

Talking about Harry. The new Harry Potter movie is up for release. A four hour magical world is everything that i want to sink myself into at the moment. On a completely unrelated note,i recently watched this amazing movie "The Social Network". Social media being the new Zing in town.Anyone who hasn't caught up with it needs to have a major reality check. It's going to be as monumentally important as figuring out whether Bill gates is still on the Forbes Richest List.

Right.So getting back to where we began i always picture my Mind to be this fortress. It protects itself from anything that it doesn't want to comprehend.It isn't necessarily that you don't understand what another person is saying . It's just that you voluntarily close that side of your mind of from being able to understand certain things. This happens when we hear bad news.We already have mentally started shutting down. So no matter what the other person says,or reacts. You have already made a choice to be unfocused.

I go though life looking through rose-colored glass. Why? Its because fantasy is so much better than reality. In your minds eye you have already spent a forever after with your knight in shining armor. In reality that Knight doesn't even exist and even if he does,has no clue as to the high standards set in your mind. So no matter what happens he will always fall short.Again,Not their fault. Technically,the fairer sex are more open and in tune with their emotions than their counterparts. If we all lived in a reality where we knew what the other person thought it would be fair to say it would be a catastrophe. The key to harmony is Communication. If we don't talk ,how will the other person ever know what it is that we really want?
