Weight Limits

Hang in there. Stand strong. Weather the storm. It's always to soon to quit. Put your big girl panties on. Grow the f*** up and deal with it. Suck it up.

We've heard them, we live them..."stand strong" catch phrases. Without epiphany or personal revelation they can be as crushing as an avalanche though. You can't draw strength from thin air..or fat air for that matter. The only source of transmittable strength that I can fathom is love, but it is in such short supply today. Everyone wants to be heard, but almost no one wants to do the work to be felt. How many of us feel alone, isolated, abandoned, mistrusting, and now like it that way.

This is not the way it's suppose to be people. This isn't life...it's more related to living death. Everyone wants to be heard and influence, but you have to pay the price for that kind of trust...with your ears. Listen and open your mind to what that person is sincerely saying and feeling. Until each of us stops believing we know it all, we will never have the kind of trust love can breed in.

Any hack and shove their opinion down someone's throat. It takes maturity and class to be slow to speak, and it never goes unappreciated.
