Writing,
Writing is my balm, writing soothes me, it distracts me, and most of all it rids me of emotions i dont need.
Theres nothing more soothing, than putting on some great music (Might to Save-Hillsong) and just letting it all out onto a keyboard. I mean, only a dozen or so people are gonna read this, but all the same, SOMEONE will read this, but even more imporantly, I WILL KNOW ITS HERE. I have brought it out of my heart, i have floated it up, and if no one wants it, i lie satified in the knowledge that its here, its all here, and if one day someone should choose to read it, then my mission is accomplished. From there the idea spreads, the chain starts, and one day, who knows? My ramblings might do something for someone. Because that really why we all write blogs, oh sure we want to express ourself, we want to be heard, we want to be known. But at the root of it, we want someone to CARE, to be interested, and what greater show of care and interest can there be but to take something to heart.

Weakness
Weakness...
Todays society is consumed by inferiority and fear. People live in a constant state of fear, of other people discovering that they are not as perfect as the try to seem. Yet they forget that the people they are trying to impress are also scared shitless that someone might come along, and tear off that mask and expose their true self... imperfections and all.
The problem lies in that we condition our kids from childhood to fear and to try and run from weakness. It is drilled into us in a myriad of different ways. But first lets examine failing. The word fail carries the connotations of having lost, having reached for something, but missed and u fell down. It carries connotations of disgust, shame and most of all imperfection. The problem is that there is so much emphasis on this, that people forget the second part of it. The first part may be you falling down, and all the terrible things equated with that, BUT, what about the second part. What about you steeling yourself, you raising yourself up and you trying again, and again, and again, until you take that failure and you pummel it to pieces, and you reach your goal.
Society puts much to much focus on the first part of the equation. Society stresses so much on failure and that if you fail, you are something of a pariah, to be shunned and to be looked down on, as opposed to a person who is about to stand up and defeat fear and take back what he couldnt get the first time.
Society fears weakness like the plague, for the basic reason that society is afraid of appearing weak, of losing that apparent veneer of indestructability. But we as a people can only get stronger by embracing our myriad of fears. Each fear embraced is a plate of armor added to you, each fear faced, and defeated is another tick on the report card of life.
