Angels under scrutiny
Another positive review today on #angelsinamericakl I'm not highlighting this article because I've just attended the performance recently but to note a little about #society
We do live in a society that is often under scrutiny. Details are probed, examined, and investigated, because they think there is a secret to be found. Most times the researcher becomes disappointed because there is no secret after all. Sometimes people may get under our skins which at the time may incite anger but when reflected on, we may realize it's all part of the fight or flight response. What is not acceptable is when confronted, conceding has never been considered. Accept that Everyone makes mistakes.
Louis is a character I would love to hate for his intellectual self brings upon much sadness in his life. Has Prior forgiven him?
Cheers.

Motivation wavering.
Motivation is all about knowing how to bounce back after hitting a low. When you find that nothing you try is keeping you motivated, it may be time to investigate a new path... In career, in relationships, in Life.
Sometimes all it takes is just opening ourselves up to possibilities that may seem a bit scary at first, but will be alright once we know them.
Get up, get dressed, take a step forward and embrace the world.

Talk Nerdy to Me!
Bazinga! Here come's another episode of the lovable Dr Sheldon Cooper played by Jim Parson on The Big Bang Theory.
Can't believe this is the ninth year I'm following this series. I continue to be surprised each week with the script and characters portrayed so well for the show. Love them!
Cheers.

I can't resist the scandal!
I can't resist not quoting the show. It really has some good script, thanks to Shonda Rhimes. She also writes for another TV hit series, How To Get Away With Murder. I have yet to begin watching it, as I know I will be addicted.
Here goes another conversation between Olivia Pope (OP) and her client (C);
OP : End it now.
C : It's too late because I love her. Denied it for months. We have what we have, it may not be much but it's what we have.
OP : You have nothing. You have a pile of secrets and lies. And you're calling it love and in the meantime you're letting your whole life pass you by, while they raise children, celebrate anniversaries, and grow old together.
You, you're frozen in time, you're holding your breath. You're a statue. Waiting for something that's never going to happen. Living for stolen moments in hotel hallways and coat closets, you keep telling yourself that they all ride up to something real because in your mind they have to, BUT they don't. They won't and they never will because stolen moments aren't a life. So you have nothing. You have no one.
End it now.
Watching shows like these sometimes reminds me of my own situation. Am I too sensitive? Yes, I believe so. Time stops and it brings me back to reflection time. Stolen moments, false hopes, emptiness. That is what he has given me. False hopes, that is what he has given me.
Perhaps I should stop following these shows...
Cheers.

It's scandalous!
I've been a fan of the TV hit series, Scandal for a while now. Followed Olivia Pope since the first season and we're now onto Season 5.
The cast, the storyline, the build up and growth of each character is just awesome. Credit goes to creator, writer and producer of the show; Shonda Rhimes.
The recent episode hit me straight to the heart and I wish to quote her here. Olivia Pope was speaking to a client from her perspective after having gone through similar circumstances with the POTUS, Fitz III.
"You did what you thought was best at the time even if it was wrong. You thought it was best. You can't change the choice you made. All you can do is not let it ruin you.
Learn to forgive yourself. That sounds lonely. It is."
She realizes this as it also hits her again to which she faces Fitz, wishing for a solution, albeit emotionally drained.
Then she goes on later to see Fitz and he assures her that "whatever is wrong, we'll fix it. Just say you'll wait for me... This isn't theoretical any more, this is real..."
I'll be quoting the show again in other posts. Exceptional writing Ms Rhimes.
Cheers.

Thump Thump Thump. My heartbeat is sinking lower.
Someone take my heart out and please stomp on it because I can no longer feel it.
Heartbroken but not defeated.
Even though we lay here side by side, warm bodies touching, I do not feel the intimacy I so crave. This is very physical. Nothing more. Some men are just not capable of intimacy.
The loneliness is enveloping me again. This temporary satisfaction is only physical. I have to keep reminding myself not to begin attachment of heart and spirits.
Has it ever been #real or was it all a #dream?
Cheers.

Let the tears flow. Please. BUT don't forget to reciprocate.
Just like the saying goes, "misery loves company"...
Okay fine, I'll hear you out.
Imagine someone crying their miseries to you. They think their problems are the worst that they are going through. You listen, you share the pain and maybe you cry together. And then maybe you share some personal stories in hope of making the other person feel less miserable. Just to show that you understand what the person is going through. Empathy aye. End of day, problems may not be solved. But at least you know you've been there when this person needed it most.
Now comes the time you need a chat, someone to hear your side of story. And then you were brushed off because they feel your issues are less important. They don't bother giving you five or ten minutes of their day. And somehow still they manage to bring up their own stories again and magnify it into various proportions on the importance of theirs. Then you feel your problems are not so bad after all...
Process repeats. Then one day, you realize they haven't a clue about what you're going through in spite of countless sessions because they somehow managed to turn things around and make it about themselves, AGAIN!
Finally you say to yourself, "I've had enough of this one-sided support / therapy with whom I thought cared enough to listen and offer me advise. Not always advise, but at least to lend an ear". Then you realize that in actuality it was and still always is about them!
Dear Friends, don't waste any more of your precious time for "users" who are skilled and only interested about themselves to begin with. The "users" are so quick at moving on that you might miss it if you don't look close enough. Sometimes you won't even catch it until it's over.
The next time you decide to pour your heart out and expect attentiveness in time and empathy, make sure you can offer that in return when the situation calls for it. Superficiality can easily be spotted even though the other side may not tell you so. Else don't do it if you know you are unable to offer support. Just DETACH.
Sometimes, it's better to move on and start anew.
Cheers.
