Anyway, this post is going to be probably pretty much different than my usual posts. Although, I'm not so sure I have any 'usual post', but yes, anyhow. :P
Lately I have been thinking a lot about this. You know one of those moments when you feel like you have something to handle and instead of the facing it, you feel like running away instead?
Have you ever have those moments?
Well yea, those.
I am that kind of person, mostly. Sadly I have to admit that almost every time I have something I need to take care of in which is generally unpleasant for me, or scary, or unknown, to me, fear creeps in and I need to shackle my own feet to eventually face them.
Most of the times I just run away first.
Oh this can be in many forms. It doesn't have to be physically running away surely. That would be very tiring! Although I might become very fit if I do that. Whoop!
But it can be as simple as avoiding thinking, or of course, this would end up in simple procrastination, such as when I was in school, studying for the tests...? I was one of those kids that would cram the materials like an hour before the test. Yep.
Well, even though, I did, to certain extend pass those assignments and tests in school quite okay-ish, well, it wasn't the best thing that could happen was it?
Avoiding tasks or things which I THINK I will not be able to do superbly isn't solving the problem.
Lately I have been thinking that, instead of running AWAY from it, whatever it is that creates this discomfort or stress for me, I should be running TOWARDS it, THROUGH it instead.
Because as someone once said, well, actually quoting, Paul Varjak from 'Breakfast at Tiffany's', *swoon*, he said, 'Because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself'. Did I made you feel like Holy Golightly enough just then? :D
...
Running away isn't solving the problem because the happiness, the only solution that we were looking for is at the other end of that whatever we are running from.
So, I've been thinking that only by running THROUGH it, will I ever find the real deal state of peace.
Does that make sense? ... I certainly hope it does.
And I certainly hope that whatever that you are facing right now, or whatever that you are running from right now, even though hopefully there is absolutely none that you need to face and I only wish you all the gentle happiness in this world, but only IF there is any, I certainly hope that you can run THROUGH whatever it is, and reach that happiness that you always deserve. With all the power that can only make you stronger, and all the best lessons that can only make you a better person that then can take only at ease any future variations. :)
So there, I just rambled. I prefer to call it heart to heart talk though. :) Not sure you would enjoy this kind of very wordy opinionated probably irrelevant-to-you post, but, there it was. Ooufff!
Happy Wednesday, may weekend feels like it comes sooner than ever! :))
Emm, this was so beautiful. It reminds me of a quote in the movie The Sound Of Music: "Maria, these walls were not meant to shut out problems. You have to face them. You have to live the life you were born to live." We do have to face our problems. I'm doing a much better job at that now. I use to avoid. I was the queen of it. There are still some things that I haven't dealt with yet, but I'm going to find the courage to face and get through them. What a nightmare about your illness. So glad you're doing better. ((hug))

Oh thanks a lottt, Kimmm. :)) *huggsss. Yes, let's find the courage to face them, Kim! So awesome that you are doing a much better job at it now. I think I still need to learn about it too. :S By the way, 'You have to live the life you were born to live', that is such a beautiful quote, I can't believe I missed that! Was it the reverend mother when Maria got back to the abbey for a while? I loved The Sound of Music so much I knew all the songs by heart! Haha, I'll be looking for that quote! It kind of makes me want to revisit it again too. :P Wishing you a great day today. :)

Oh, Eb, I'm so sorry to hear that. Yesss, that's what I have been saying, sounds like we all have been ill around the same time. I'm so sorry too, been another crazy week too for me. :S But whatever that you were having, hopefully it is much better now, and sincerely hoping that you are feeling better now and having a better week. :) All the best wishes, and we can do it, Eb.

I really hope you are feeling better now!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I totally agree with you! you should never run away even though it can be crazy scary. I am feeling it right now, in fact. I quit my job to achieve bigger goal and I am kind of afraid and exciting at the same time, but i can never run. I will face this and become a bigger person. Cheers to both of us! Love, Victoria

Truly truly wishing you the smoothest sailing for it, with tons of energy and bright ideas, until you reach that bigger goal. You can do it! :D Cheers to the both of us! *hugggsss!

I'm extremely happy that you are feeling better---I hate getting even a small cold, so I can't imagine how it must have been going through all that. I also tend to run from certain duties (mostly procrastinate on homework) so this was a great reminder that the peace I'm looking for is on the other side of work.
