Truth syrum


Alcohol has a way of lowering your inhibitions, relaxing your strength to hold back and opening the doors for you to say what you feel. A person I know has been holding things in, taking things into account for the week and then on a binge over the weekend will spill it and say what they feel. Followed up the next morning with apologies and saying things to make up for it.

Sometimes what they have to say can sting a little. Other times it cuts deep to the core of what is really going on. Either way, it is things that needed to be said. Obviously there is some amount of pain on both sides so really, no apologies are necessary. Because they are a good friend, they can say these things. Truth hurts. Funny this, it is almost an expected ritual we have.

    Holding things in can only make them bigger , especially when they are let out through the supports of alcohol. The little bariers to polite and consideration tend to get swept out of the way and the facts/feelings are laid out in thier harshest form. Hard to hear I think but sometimes we need them. I guess if that is the only way your friend can get it out...

Love, Twu luv

Those are the words the preacher speaks from the movie The Princess Bride as she is marrying Prince Humperdink. L- is for the way you look at me O- is for he only one I see V- is very, very E-xtra ordinary... and that is a good way of putting it, since love like that seems to be very extraordinary these days.  I heard a song by Vince Gil this morning. Whenever You Come Around . It speaks of the effects a person can have on us when they are near.  Vince Gil sings-    I get weak in the knees and I lose my breath,  Oh I try to speak but the words won't come, I'm so scared to death. When you smile that smile, The world turns upside down, Whenever you come around... I think at some point we all know a person who makes our heart flutter. Hearing their voice, we just melt. Is it possible to love someone too much?

Snowflakes

Sometimes we meet people that we know we are going to have further contact with. There's a spark of some kind that let's us know we will be involved in something bigger. Something that will be keeping us busy for a long time together. A sensitive may know this upon sight. People who aren't sensitives, may not know this and may even fight everything about it, either in full denial of the whole thing or not wanting to believe it. Snowflakes are different and special. People are too. I met one of these people a while back. About a year ago our paths crossed in a rather nonspectacular way. The second time our paths crossed, There were things I knew about them before a single word had been spoken. Since then our paths have crossed several more times. I have seen them at least once a week and we have discussed things concerning the circumstances under which our paths crossed, potential business opportunities and things on semi-personal levels. We skimmed the surface of discus
