"Art never comes from happiness." Choke - by Chuck Palahniuk.I definitely write more when things are stressing me out, but it doesn't necessarily have to be unhappiness, sometimes I just need to be rattled a bit. In fact it has been about 2 years or more since I have written anything deep.
So, Yes, I am a little rattled right now. Its like they say "Everything happens for a reason". Who are "They" anyway and why are they making up excuses for when things don't go the way you think they should? [Change] I do love that saying though and often use it. But it is basically just an illogical excuse. Things do happen for a reason, you just don't always realize why. Actually you have to find the reason, or at least make the reason. I try to take a lesson from each experience and/or relationship (friend or otherwise). When you run headlong into something sometimes you trip on your own feet and end up with your face in the dirt, but once i dusted off i realized my lesson.
One thing I have learned recently was to not take your mistakes from the past and try to do the opposite. Every situation is a different learning experience.
Actually my current rattled state has helped me put a part of my past to rest. Something which i had never expected to happen...............almost did! For that i am thankful. And if nothing else, at least, maybe, I'm writing again!
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

This blog is something that I started to write on the date of publishing (about 3 weeks ago now). I got busy and drug my feet and never finished it (like I often do). A couple of nights ago I came up with an idea for another blog and as I was working on it this morning I decided I would finish this one first. They are mirror images of each other in the sense that when you look in the mirror your right hand looks like your left hand and when you scratch the top of your head or try to grab some part of you using the mirror as your focal point, everything is backwards & just a little off.
