You've Been Living in, and If

I spend a lot of time listening and watching.  I’ve always spent a lot of time doing those things.  Around the age of 14 or so I became a self-proclaimed scientist of man.  I was interested in people, their thoughts, and what events brought them to where they were.  But of course, I was just a kid at the time and even with my “pure hearted” look of life, or what would be the fall of said pure heart, I couldn’t fully grasp the idea just yet.

You

The days
constantly filling up
like and endless rain
it pours
oh it pours

the rushing tides
of life
ripping us apart from
grounds we once stood

Never Want To

Before we get started today, I want to send out a very large thank you to everyone who has taken the time to read the blog, share, like, +1 and give feedback.  I highly appreciate you taking the time out of your day to see what this blog is all about, and I really hope that it does help everyone and anyone who comes across it.

On a second note, as some of you may know, I recently acquired an editor for this blog. While I don’t like giving out personal names, the individual graciously offered to assist me when I requested assistance, and I could not be happier!  So starting as of this immediate blog post, said individual will be the first one to take a look at my work, and help bang out any grammar or punctuation mistakes, because I suck at those.

And on to todays’ article.

See Me Again

Death is a part of life that none of us can ever escape, and while we all understand that concept, it never really dawns on any of us how true that statement is until we've either lost someone, or someone we know has.  When news like that hits you, its a lot like having someone box your ears for you.  You're left a little dazed, the world loses it's sound, and for what seems like an eternity, you're trapped, wrapped in this shroud of despair and pity.

Today I am going to try and walk us through what I deem "The 2 sides of the circle of Death".  The circle of death?  Yes I understand that might seem confusing, but, that is the point after all.

I would understand

Emotions are kind of tricky.  No matter how many times we finally get ourselves over that hurtle, it always seems to come back again, and again.  It'd be really nice if once we beat one of those difficult times, that they would just stay gone, but that usually doesn't happen.

I spend a lot of time watching and listening to the people around me.  I watch my friends interact with each other, I watch couples interact.  People tend to end up self-sabotaging themselves a lot.  They let little small insecurities with themselves swallow them up, and the backlash is typically what some people might call "crazy", but really, it's just normal.

The Beginning

You know, I really enjoy writing blogs.  I've written more than one, I enjoy spending my time writing and sharing whats on my mind.  I get asked by a bunch of different people to write up stuff.  "Oh chuck, that is really good advice, I wish you had a blog about your advice for women." "Chuck, you should write a blog giving relationship advice!", "Chuck you should give people life tips and pick me ups!", so, I finally decided I would go ahead and do one.

So this is a page for all of you regular people out there.  By that I don't mean, what society deems regular.  I mean, an average joe, someone just trying to get through life with their mind in tact.  A regular person who worries about bills, work, school, family, what other people think (even if they openly say that they dont care, but secretly do) just people like you and me.
