What's Happening? ...

 

So...what's happening? What's new? Where's my kiss hello? I expect my kiss hello...always!!! It's interesting to watch people greet each other. A kiss, a handshake, a bow, a nod, a nose rub or a hug. Depending on social etiquette or relationship...you will see the signs of recognition, reverence, affection and friendship. Body gestures are the best sign to watch. That eye contact between two people attracted to each other, but maybe the world doesn't know they're intimate...if you really pay attention you can really see it anyway. Or the famous crossed arms...meaning be prepared for what's coming, someone is not happy!
What did you do??? LOL.  The frown and body slouch...yeah they don't want to deal with you right now, don't bother me attitude. The girls are perkyyyy! Yeah baby, I'm so excited to see you! Do you know what you do to me? Or...the arms wide open. Damn he's got monkey arms, I never noticed that! Here comes the bear hug. The body tells you more than even words a lot of the time. Words can mean nothing, if not backed by the lingo of the BOD. Tune into it more and tell me I'm not right. Anyway, I got to go and write...

Just droppin' in to say HI!!!!! ...

You feel a way...

I feel a way...What does that mean exactly? I'll tell you what it means. It's means you're way past like. It means you've been drawn to her/him, connected to her/him, feeling her/him.  Feels like more than a friendship and yet less than a friendship. It means your in the purgatory of Love...in between the friendship and relationship stage. However...a real relationship is based on friendship and love, let's remember that. The platonic casual relationship is now traveling into I miss you, I want you, I L.... you = but you're not sure and you can't say it! You wait on the other person to say it, what's with that anyway? Does it really matter who says it first? I don't get it. You may not know for sure, for quite awhile. Does it mean you need to know this exact minute? NO! But I can't stand not knowing or understanding something clearly. Confused? Wishing you were Confucius right now? What's the time frame to fall in love? Yeah, I know. There is none. It can be a week, it can be a month, a year....you get the picture. Your victim to your feelings, but do you have to be? Why is it victim? Aren't feelings good? Would you rather be numb? No...I don't like numb either! Over abundance of feelings that takes over your body and makes you feel like your going to implode is not cool either! Am I rambling? You bet!!!
This is what happens...
Possibly when...
You feel a way...

At The End Of The Day...

 

At the end of the day, what matters is you...meaning, you have to live with looking in the mirror and liking what you see. Living with your choices...well, because they're yours and hopefully you're feeling good about them. The freedom is all yours to reign it as you desire, but...it comes with a price. It's called boundaries. What? Freedom doesn't have boundaries? Yes...it does. It's called trust and safety...for yourself, and for those in your life. Be willing to humiliate yourself, even if at the risk of ridicule and failure. How else do you learn to venture out? It's okay to fail...you're human and people will accept you even more because they see your humility. When you create trust and safety you prevent chaos and limitless freedom and... protect yourself from real dangers. It's important to correct your wrong doings, steer away from destructive ideas or actions and create some ground rules to abide by. Yes...ground rules are conducive boundaries.

You don't know everything...

So, stop thinking you do...

And...

You have to look at that mirror...

At the end of the day...

Never the Same...

 

Never the same... every new experience changes us a little. Subtle, but none the less change occurs. Every experience leaves an impression on you, a person, an event, a trip, a meal, a scent, a taste...a kiss, a man, a woman. Transformation is amazing, because we're never the same...ever!!! Yesterday to today...this month to last month...this year to last year. You ever look at pictures of yourself and think...I look so different. Whether I was skinnier, heavier, more brunette, blonder, younger, short hair, long hair...and that's just physical. What about emotion, intelligence, education, travel and the endless things I could list. Life can be so damn interesting if we let it, yet we're such creatures of habit. Almost sad that we are willing to sometimes live a drab existence, making excuses as to why we don't bother changing or doing anything new. Creating new and transforming experiences in our lives isn't easy. Most important piece is to sustain your own attention first, forget about anybody Else's...that comes later. Second piece is passion...lots of it, then persevering through obstacles and frustrations so you can trudge forward! Otherwise you're likely to fizzle out quickly and be miserable.  Glass half empty? Half Full? Just guzzle it down!!! Embrace paradoxes. We live in a paradoxical world. Paradoxes explore different sides to the same reality...don't be afraid to hold things in tension with one another. It may get you to further reflect your life and explain the world a bit better. 

What you will find is that...

You will never be the same...

Never the same...

Again...

Exotic or Erotic? ...

 

Inside joke...Unique, different and foreign? Hmm...Beautiful and wondrous?

Intriguingly unusual, excitingly strange and alluringly bizarre? Hmm...a strip tease performer? Hahaha...other topic ; ) Devoted to arousing love? Marked by a strong sexual desire? Or quite simply...am I caused by love and given to love? Slave to my heart. Actively creative and constantly in a state of anticipation of sexual arousal? Provocatively titillating and ultimately satisfying an emotional state? Sounds like I'm mental!!! Let me clarify...I am actually both. Having an energy that is neither libido nor lust. It is my innate expression channeled through my word, my art, my soul, my mind and my loving heart...the spirituality of me, of which is not shameful.  Recently someone said to me...and I quote, "I think erotica isn't who you are...but an expression of the passion inside you, that drives you". I was floored...so perceptive and right on target!!! Somebody gets me!!!  People are paying attention!!! 

So, exotic or erotic?

Exotic...

Erotic....

Erratic...

Yeah that might be it!!!...

Probably the three are more alike than we realize...

And...

I am so turned on right now!!!...

Open Mind...

 

In order to be changed or change your life, you must have an open mind. You really must think about how you can effectively do this. Quite a difference between knowing and doing,  it's 50/50. Knowing, not so hard but doing takes diligence and strong desire. All the things in life worthwhile take tremendous effort. Anything you've ever accomplished in your life, I'm sure you can say did not come with ease. Also, it's a humbling experience. Creating controversy requires mental gymnastics. Meaning...it's about creating dissonance in someone's mind. New information or old information presents itself to you in a new light and you are forced to reprocess it. This is why it's good...you are now thinking and therefore are likely to change or make changes. Status quo...means you are the same, you think the same, you do the same, you live the same...which is lame! More than lame, it's sad. Be yourself...be different...be unique and not part of the faceless mob. Expose yourself to new ways of thinking, new friends and new experiences. Think of what it is in life you cherish most and re-think things in a new light. We all experience transforming activities on a daily basis.

Question is...do you leave people the same or do you change them forever?

As a result of an open mind...
