Override

Somethings are better left untouched.
What, may you ask, would I mean by that?
Ahhhh, have you ever had a heartache? Have you ever been moved to great emotion by a photograph?
Well, recently, as in 5 minutes ago, I was.
I will not disclose who was in the photo, nor why it moved me, but I figured "Hey, I haven't blogged in a while. And if I'm mooching the neighbors wifi, then why not?"
But then, what to write?
Well, Facebook took care of that for me.
I really just wanted to say, if there's someone in your life that you would do anything for, a son, a brother, a "significant other", you would, undoubtedly, want to spend as much time as you could with that said person.
Am I wrong?
So. What if you really can't? Like me.
My bro, for example, rockstar/actor extraordinaire, lives in Australia. I physically cannot hang out with him as much as I wish I could.
Some of my best friends in the world live in, yes Nebraska, but in towns other than mine.
And since Io no ha un automobile, I am basically as far as anywhere from them.
But, you would argue, there's Skype after all, and Google Hangout.
True.
But you don't get that same ...... Connection via a vchat.

All this to say, I would like to be a bigger part of some of my loved ones lives, but I am stuck far away from them.
And all truth be told, it do be rough.
Especially when some of them seem to move on in my absence.
And I don't want their lives to be centered on me, obviously, that's ridiculous, but hey! I still do exist, ya know?
Whatever the case, I write this blog with a challenge for you.
A call to override yourself when you are emotionally compromised.
Sounds nuts, aye?
Here's the deal y'all.
Just realize that that special someone doesn't think your every thought. They don't feel your every emotional pang. Despite whatever wonderful mental/spiritual connection you and your loved one may seem to share, you absolutely cannot know everything that person is thinking.
Nor they you.
Which is the basis of my hypothesis: when you are feeling like your loverly friend/family member/various loved one is not meeting the requirements that are expected from your relationship, don't sweat it. Take back a step, think through from their perspective, and try to understand that, despite that loverly smile, those smashing eyes, that infectious laugh, they are, in fact
Human.
And they will fail you
Alot.
Many a time.
Not to be a downer, but even after they've failed to uphold their end of the relationship, they'll do it again.
Hard to swallow yet good to know, right?
This really may have nothing to do with your situation, but I doubt that.
I expect that every human on this multicolored planet has been failed by one or more of the other Two-Leggers that live here.
Therefore, after much deliberation, then chucking that deliberation out and starting over, the only thing I've realized is this:
When love seems not worth the pain, when your heart starts to go insane, if you're alive you've stood in the rain, and wondered why there is no train,
to take you far, yes far away, come now, hear what I will say, love's not a game that you simply play, you must live and love anyway. (impromtu poem that is in no way the result of much deliberation)
Just try it with me mah friends. After all, God does it all the time! You think your friends are hard to love at times? Think about us and the way we treat God.
YA.
It's doable.
That's it.
Give it a thinker.
Don't over think it.
Let it rattle in ya noggin for a while.
;)
Always Hope, Love REGARDLESS, and Peace Out
