Quasi

I had a dream in which I was an amnesiac. I wandered around in a mental fog, seeing people I knew but couldn't place. I ran into a woman I'd never seen before. She had a kind face and a gentle demeanor. She took my hand and proceeded to tell me who I was. I smile when I think of this dream, because I understand.
***************
Everyone deserves an opportunity for happiness. They deserve an opportunity for passion in their lives. I would never begrudge anyone who sought out beauty and perfection. The desire for quality in one's life is admirable. I read that somewhere once. I hope no one resents my journey.
***************
My youth is burned onto five inch disks scattered throughout my living room. Everytime I play one, I'm there again. Today I'm 28, yesterday I was 23, tomorrow I'll be 19, 33, 14. I listen and I am transported.

I read that book so many times during university. What I have found is that people do end up resenting you for the path you take on your journey. Chin up. I think for quality to exist sometimes you have to forge your own path...right or wrong.

People will resent your journey. You have to decide what is more important ... how you feel or how they feel.

i feel you on doing your own thing with your journey. sometimes the things we need to do for ourselves aren't truly meant for others to understand. as long as you were genuine with your reasons for the journey, how can anyone be mad? i have recently been getting "amnesis" as it rleates to some of the excess people in my life--and believe me, their asses aint happy about the journey either!

@Chez
December 10. It's coming.

@Newy
I did the tag. You'll see it Monday.

@JJ
People will begrudge your path regardless, but they seem to verbalise it much more if you are concerned with your personal happiness. People understand money and sex as motivation. Everything else is beyond their grasps.

@Chele
Feeling is at the heart of this, yours vs. theirs. I think it's time to supress their shit and enhance mine.

@FA
It's hard to forget everybody else's hang-ups and push forward. In general, people HATE a happy person.
