i'm trying to change some seriously ingrained habits in a very short period.
the thing is, i'm very aware of these habits/faults...but i've found self awareness doesn't always lead to action. in fact it often doesn't
i think a lot of people confuse being self aware with being done. one knows oneself and that's the end. but.. anyway. yea, i often am painfully self aware and then a few years later i have to confront the fact that i've voiced knowing something but not been able to act on it because knowing it doesn't help me unstick myself from wherever it is i am.

on a comepletly different note:
Mon, November 15, 2004 - 10:28 PMi wrote this today and for some reason felt the urge to post it for you.
do you feel me
and can you
hear these words i've never said
feel this emotion i'm sending
love this soul
i'm projecting?
where are you?
i smell you,
can hear the words you haven't uttered
taste on my lips
you...your everything....
i can feel you against me
in me i feel you
breathing....
rythmic dancing pulsing wonder.
your thoughts are on me
writhing with me...
timeless ecstasy covers me
blanketing...
do you feel
wind kiss you lightly
rain's carress upon your eyelids
fires glow on your skin
and the earth beneath your feet?
i am them,being you..
do you feel?

Re: change is hard
Tue, November 16, 2004 - 1:33 PMI totally understand this one. I usually give myself a few months to turn thought into action, at least with the big things. Once I've truly internalized it and beaten down all the barriers to that change, it seems natural.
How short a period are we talking? -

Tue, April 19, 2005 - 8:21 PMHello :
From my personal experience
LIfe is full of changes and sometimes the easier we adapt the easier it is for us! SOmetime its just sooo hard to be able to start to walk a new direction, we never know where it will take us, but for sure know this my friends that we will meet some great people along the way. -

Thu, April 21, 2005 - 3:23 PMyes, change happens even if we put on the brakes and try to keep it from happening. ..
but sometimes there are growing pains along with it. which is where my initial post came from, i think! :) -

Re: change is hard
Wed, November 23, 2005 - 1:20 AMI've gone through some drastic changes in the past few months. I've lost people very, very close to me. I put on the breaks many times. Finally it wasn't enough. I crashed dead on, there was nothing I could do about it. The changes that I had to make were very painful. I'm still going though those changes.
But along the way I've met so many more amazing friends. We have created bonds I never knew were possible. I've also met people I hope to grow closer to. And I know in time we will grow closer.
With Love
