The hour is late ~ twelve chimes I heard. The rest of the house ~ asleep.

Why do I sit bleary eyed by this machine, with its continuous hum? It's about me. I've just completed the seventh collage, for the seventh day, of the seven day collage challenge. It's about me. Some people might think I'm selfish. Some people might think it odd that I choose to share so much about myself. Some poeple might think I have a huge ego.

NO!

I am on a trip of self discovery. I am trying to break down brick walls within my being. I am trying to learn more about myself so I might get past the "I wish!" and "I should!" A part of me is trying to get closer to the "I am". Sharing it with you makes "I am" seem closer. Give it a try.

Till tomorrow...

I feel 'selfish' for even contemplating doing something for my own sake! I look forward very much to seeing #7, and will surely give it a try! ;)

I just keep telling myself I cant be at my best and good for others or anything else for that matter ..unless I am doing well for myself. Keep smiling! You will find it!; October 24, 2006 at 8:06 AM
Sue said...: This certainly resonates with many of us. Good for you for discovering self -- it is so healthy. It took me much therapy to learn there is a difference between self-ish and self-caring. Hurray for you.; October 25, 2006 at 4:48 AM

"To laugh is to risk appearing the fool. To weep is to risk being called sentimental. To reach out to another is to risk involvement. To expose feelings is to risk showing your true self. To place your ideas and your dreams before them is to risk being called naive. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To live is to risk dying. To hope is to risk despair, and to try is to risk failure.
But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing and becomes nothing. He [or she] may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn and feel and change and grow and love and live. Chained by his certitudes, he is a slave, he's forfeited his freedom. Only the person who risks is truly free."
