Love or Fear is a Choice

I will always wonder...
why are you so afraid of sharing your heart
of trusting someone with your secrets and fears
if you only knew, that is how to start
to overcome, and understand, and become aware
of course there is pain in the losses in life
death starts the moment we are born
with every pleasure comes some struggle and strife
there is always some reason to mourn
but we choose how we see and feel about everything
the pain is proof we are alive
that is the joy that can make our hearts sing
to live and not merely survive
life is a roller coaster ride
even if we hide it all inside
the full experience is the greatest gift of all
to those who open themselves wide

so why are you so afraid of sharing yourself
is it because you fear pain?
I wish you could see past the books on your shelf
the true knowledge is in your brain
past the fear, you are there, so aware, learn to share
the secret it knowing you can always start again
this amazing journey called life is a song
you truth is write your own refrain
you can write a fearful struggle or worse
a futile cycle of fear, guilt, and shame
or you can write a beautiful song
and see life as a wonderful game
and
it's not about winning or losing at all
it is about playing the game
peace and happiness is found by those who learn
to just enjoy playing the game

I wish I could give you this simple perspective and take away all fear and shame because I know you can do it for yourself... and never live in fear again.

I wish you would :)

A song for you, m precious little sister, and also for the world. If only everyone could see this and dare to do it, what a wonderful world it could be :)

Recognize me yet? ;)

Still The Same

Every now and then I get a little bit lonely, but it's almost always by choice. Or forgetfulness. I wonder if you understand that. I don't know if anyone ever has. That, in and of itself, is lonely. I learned self-control as a survival skill before I knew how to define or describe what I was doing. Instinct saved me from so much, and eventually, I learned that everything I thought or felt was a choice. My choice. It isolated me so much from others, It still does. I did everything I could to try to forget this. I did everything I could to try to forget who I am, what I can do, and how it feels to be me. It didn't work. I did it for love. You are sometimes uncomfortable around me and I'm not sure if you know why. It is because I can feel everything and you can feel that and it scares you. It is your hypersensitivity. You don't know how to be comfortable with all you feel, especially because there are so many sad and painful feelings in this world and I feel ev...

Time Goes By So...

Slowly? Only when you pay attention. Otherwise, time goes by way too fast. Two songs in there, at least, if you're paying attention. Anyway, this next set of letters can be called Sent and Not Sent, or Sent and Unsent, as the brief one was sent and the longer one (cut short still), was not sent. There are reasons that may or may not become clear in the reading, and if you understand, wonderful. If you let me know, amazing. If you never know, no worries, enjoy your life anyway. Sent I used to write so much and for years I exchanged emails with many people. Before email, snail mail. Pen pals, friends... I felt connected, cared for, alive in other people's hearts and minds and it felt very good. It's all gone now and that sometimes makes me feel very sad, alone, nobody. Make the most of your relationships. Take care of the connections. You, more than me, even, thrive on the people who know and care about you. It takes time, work, and sacrifice. To stay connected. To stay...

To You, To Me, For You

Never give up on love, never give in to fear, always remember your passion for that is what makes you care and that is what you should share for that is why you are here So I'll just keep trying to encourage you to share this way and any other way I can think of, cuz I adopted you and this is what family does, reminds you to be yourself, define yourself, grow yourself, express yourself... Maybe I ask too much of you, but I believe you've got it in your to continue growing your confidence and ability to know and express yourself. I believe you could write a book one day and it would be full of the kind of insight and love that this world needs. Even more important, I believe you need to get it out, to ride through the catharsis that self-expression can be - into a new awareness of just how precious and few people like you are. I'll just keep trying to convince you and hope you believe me... There's always hope (I hope)... there's always hope because I h...
