nods, that last statement was more meant as joke but I get your honest reply. I personally have learned that if you lock up darkness it will grow and come for you when you are weak. So I acknowledge it without flinching and thus have a hell of a lot more control over my actions then most who have survived stuff then I have. For me my self, or ego as people like to call it is my anchor that keeps me sane. When I am insable the lines between me and others blurr a lot. since I was a kid when
I am in close proximity to others I can pick up on stuff I should not be able to know. The suffering and need of others often drown me and the rest of the world out so my ego is my beacon out of madness and chaos. I think that ego is important to be able to operate and without it you cannot create anything unless you let other forces create through you ... that being said those who cannot handle ego do not understand the nature of self I think ... as i said we naturally blend into the world around us and it has it's tentacles in us. To be selfish is just damaged ego as it had not discovered it's true nature...

As someone who is half clown, I take jokes as deadly serious. Also, to be perfectly clear, I do not believe in locking up darkness I just believe that we work with it, differently. My vow, to myself, is not to be a heavy person, caught up in complaining (I don't believe we grow that way). I can handle ego, and my way to do so is to treat it as servant, not master. We have different ways and different paths, but we practice the art of living by making of our lives an example or a cautionary tale for others. In this, I think, we have some choice.
As artist, and empath, I, too, receive a lot of information from others and, based on it, I'm drawn closer or keep my distance. Thanks, for this heart to heart, and I wish you wellbeing and poetry :)
Complaining never suited anyone ;) I just do not trust easily and expect little of others, thus the actions of others seldom determine my choices. That being said I want to leave a mark in this world most importantly by trying to leave it a better place than it was as when I came... and I literally have clown phobia- LOL ... I rather battle Isis then be locked in a room with a clown it is that bad ... I shall now be watching you and with the first sign of red noses and squeaky shoes I shall run LOL
haha, thanks, for chuckles :P Taking off red nose /squeaky shoes and giving you a light-hearted, ear-to-ear smile <3
Here's to leaving a mark in this world... by trying to leave it a better place than it was when we came!
