Sometimes reality is something I refuse to allow take control of me...

Reality is LIFE, in its truest sense. the good, the Bad and the sometimes ugly.


I personally refuse to succumb to reality, sure I am AWARE of it...payments you need to make, work to complete, and a family to tend to. However, I don't allow the negatives in life get me down.

I say, if you want to give yourself a great chance in succeeding in life, you need to stay focused and that means not allowing negative thoughts and experiences hold you down.

Reality is something I refuse to allow take control of me.. what I mean is, I accept it for what it is ...and I move on.

Life can get hard sometimes, especially as we get older....I look it life through the eyes of a child sometimes....how wondrous it really is and full of possibilities. Reality may be that you have a crazy job, an ungrateful spouse or your neighbors suck, who cares I say....sure that may be the reality of the situation, however I choose to look on the brighter side of MY reality.

Sometimes you have to force yourself to stop...and smell the roses.

Why is it that when you are slammed with deadlines and the time is just a tickin... people panic...instead of taking a moment and stepping away for a second to regroup...sure I'm not perfect, however, I do make it a habit to step out if I'm feeling like the day is getting to me....get some fresh air, call a friend....just stepping away for a second helps a great deal!

Whatever happened to the days when I was a kid when a whole day was like..WOW..I have all day to play...and WOW ...I have the whole day to watch cartoons and don't forget...all day just hanging out with your friends.

Factor in growing up and getting a job...

Now we have panic attacks, freaking out and having heart attacks from the stress of life.

Its not doing anyone any good to out themselves through that, sure life can throw you a curve, you'll have challenging days...you're trying to keep up with the rat race...you have an employer you must keep happy, a spouse to tend to...kids...the house...your own personal life wants and needs...everything....doesn't it make sense to gather all that up and have a plan to dealing with it all, when things are getting stressful make it a habit to step aside for a second...you'll see....it'll make a huge difference!

Sometimes I feel like screaming

Sometimes I feel like screaming to the top of my lungs because I'm in pain.
I have to take medicine everyday to keep myself from going insane.
I have schizophrenia just like my late uncle did.
He was committed three times when I was a kid.

Unlike my uncle, I always take my medicine.
He always stopped taking it and that was why he was committed again and again.
With each breakdown he had, he got even worse.
Having schizophrenia is like having a curse.

My uncle thought he was God, he was completely out of his head.
I don't want to suffer the same fate, I'd rather be dead.
It's terrible to know that schizophrenia is what I've got.
I guess I was destined to be mentally ill but I hope you're not.

How is your relationship?

* Make all of the decisions?
* Tell you that you�re a bad parent or threaten to take away or hurt your children?
* Prevent you from working or attending school?
* Act like the abuse is no big deal, it�s your fault, or even deny doing it?
