That we walk around maintaing the socially accepted norms of our roles and what it means to be a father, brother, husband, wife, sister, corporate businessman/woman...and the ways we should behave, think, eat sleep... perhaps the position we have sex in or even the way we scratch our asses... but ultimately we neglect to show people who we truely are... how we truely feel and if we harbour those characteristics of who we are, someday they will be expressed and your loved ones won't even know how to react to them...<BR/><BR/>Number 2 - Feeling like these are normal... and we should expose them to our loved ones, cause they're bound to go through the same thoughts and processes in the later years or meet someone who will go through that. They need acknowledge what these feelings are and learn how to develop a "skin" on how to manage them.<BR/><BR/>Number 3 - the last thing you should be doing is being hard on yourself. Sometimes we can't help the way we feel. There are so many pressures that you're probably exposed to that it ends up becoming a burden instead of a pleasure. You're not a horrible human being... you just don't know how to react to the way you're feeling hence my comments in number 2. <BR/><BR/>Number 4 - Be real... and honest... trust in yourself... Sometimes trying to make things work just so that you avoid justifying your opinions is not a very good thing. You are a person.... who rightfully has opinions that damn well need to be heard. Your children need to see that there are other perspectives in the choices that they try to make and what better ways to learn these things then through the opinions of others, especially through their dad. Opinions allow us to choose between what is good and bad and right and wrong aren't they?<BR/><BR/>So I say be yourself... express yourself... so that in the long run.... you don't lose yourself. <BR/><BR/>Life is a journey my friend... you had 42 years and if you closely look... you will see many upon many accomplishments, joys and love. <BR/><BR/>Not very many people can say they've had the opportunity to experience these.<BR/><BR/>That's my comment!<BR/><BR/>Take care...<BR/><BR/>izzyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
