Let’s not be boxed in.

This will come as a really brash statement but to me there is almost nothing worse than someone telling me to “feel better” or “look on the bright side of things” or you “need to be more positive” (my all time least favorite thing to hear during my “moods”).  When I find myself doing it to someone, I try to stop that impulse.  Not always successful but I make a real effort.

Why do people do this?  Is it because it’s messy to embrace a person who is complicated? Or if you let a person stew in that for a bit you will get ‘infected’ by the moody bug or whatever?

For me, I need freedom.

Freedom to live my truest ME.

Sometimes I share my joy.

Sometimes I am grouchy.

Sometimes I accept & love the awesome person that is me.

Sometimes I get so frustrated at why I can’t seem to make lasting changes.

Sometimes I am full of sugar & spice & everything nice.

Sometimes I’m not.

Sometimes I am the best, most productive me I can be.

Sometimes I waste time.

Sometimes I like art & playing with color and light.

Sometimes I just want to watch TV & eat salt and vinegar chips.

Sometimes I need people.

Sometimes I love being alone.

Sometimes I feel the fear of saying something different to the status quo.

Sometimes I like to “rock the boat” so peeps will not be so friggin’ uptight.

Like everything, it’s complex.  I don’t want to be boxed in.

I would imagine that none of us do.
