When is Enough, Enough?
How do you know when it is time to take care of yourself even
if that means going against everything you have ever done? The time is now and
the place is here. If we fail ourselves, then we are also failing others who
count on us. Every time we get on a plane, we here the sage advise given us by
the flight attendant to “put your own oxygen mask on before attempting to help
others. Why then, do we refuse this in everyday life?
Sometimes we are brought up to serve others and we forget,
other times we are programmed by life. We get stuck in situations and do not
feel we deserve anything else. I say that we deserve the peace of mind and something
that resembles happiness. I know too many people who give up hope and lose
their drive for everything. Society tells us who we should be and how we should
act and it is simply a life sucking lie.
Screw the “norms” and constant guilt that is placed on us by
this “society”. No direct offense intended but if someone does not like what
you are doing, they should receive an invitation to kiss your ass. Life is hard
enough without added pressure and guilt. It is also very short and
unpredictable, do whatever helps you to be happy as long it does not hurt
another. That does not mean that everyone will understand or agree. Feelings
may get hurt but if you have given them every chance to correct the situation
and they do nothing, that shows your worth to them.

| Bike #2 |
The single best (selfish) decision I have made was buying my
motorcycle and the second best was trading it after two years when I was ready
to move up to a bigger bike. Ride free and far, I promise that there are few
better feelings. If you have never tried it, you owe it to yourself to learn.
You do not have to act reckless to feel like you are on the edge and in the
moment. The best rides are those with no real destination.
This is just a bunch of random ramblings that were rolling
around in my head. I noticed that it has been some time since I have posted so I
let my fingers vomit all over the keyboard. Live your life, tell someone that
you care about them and do something for yourself!
Peace out until next
time.
