"I'm trying to find my peace
I was made to believe there's something wrong with me
And it hurts my heart
Lord have mercy ain't it plain to see"
-Janelle Monae
I internalize this verse from Janelle to mean something a little bit different from her intentions in "Cold War." It speaks to me... Often I am ostracized for being compassionate and sympathetic. Some people hint that I shouldn't care as much or advise that I detach myself from emotions sometimes, and I truly thought I was this rare entity with the capacity to evaluate situations with my heart, but other times I couldn't understand why certain solutions weren't obvious to people.
*EDIT*
I wanted to go on a tangent with this post, but I no longer have the energy to deal with this topic. I got the joy of discussing the issue with my father and my friend Tierra. I was able to receive honest feedback and I had some great conversations regarding how to deal with situations in a proper manner. I've come to the conclusion... aka I still believe that all manners can be dealt with appropriately if you evaluate the situation with your heart. When you try to simply think of solutions instead of truly feeling, its evident why you end up .. fucking up.
Both of my conversations boiled down to:
Regardless of how uneasy, uncomfortable, nervous, or unskilled you THINK you are, you rise to the challenge of being there for your significant other, not because it is easy, but because you OWE it to the person you love. Your strength for your partner is unconditional, its not just talked about when times are good, but they are actions demonstrated when times are bad.
Anything thing else is unacceptable.
- Sub-conscience -
I'm not going to tell him anything regarding his relationship, and I'm not going to dwell on my issue any longer.
*You have to love your partner when they are right and when they are wrong.
End of story.
So that chapter is closed, and nothing in the future should be reminiscent of it.
--I think that was still a tangent. lol
*Live Life With Compassion <3
