I
am not here on this planet just to pass the time until I die. I am
here to love and be loved, not to like and be liked. No one needs to
be liked but we all need the giving and receiving of love.
I
am not hear to listen to the bullshit that passes for conversation. I
am hear to listen to your thoughts and dreams and learn your history.
I want to know what makes you happy, angry, sad, filled with desire.
I want to know your thoughts on god and aliens and what demons
keep you up at night.
I am not here
to be pretty or entertaining, a plaything that succumbs to flattery
or deception. I am here to be real...gut wrenchingly real. I won't
flatter you with untruths. I will be honest because I am and I care.
I expect the same in return.
I am not here
to waste my time. I am here to think and feel and to act and most of
all to love, not least of all myself. I make hard choices and
sacrifices when my heart, head, and gut lead me to what I want or
need. And hopefully in the process I might influence someone else to
be just as real because we desperately need to get down to what
matters.
