~*Dare To Tell The Truth*~

[Nomad]

the happiest time in my life is something weird so maybe it doesnt fit the specs of the question the way other answers might. it happened a few days ago when i was in the middle of a deep hurt about missin my dad and missin some really important people and it sort of broke into my head that i was gonna survive and everything was gonna be ok. i dont know if it qualifies as the "happiest" time of my entire life or not. sure is the happiest thing on the horizon. i'm feeling pretty positive about actually finally felling like i'm gonna make it and things will be fine eventually.


because it's on my mind i'll ask this: what face do you wish you could see right now, regardless of the response you might/might not get?

My grandmother. She finally has hearing aids so I'd like to see her and have a proper conversation (she was too stubborn before).

If you could go anywhere in the world, but you had to go on your own, no one else could come, how long would you take for this holiday of yours?

I'd take 3 weeks. I'd need at least that long to get in, settle, enjoy and get past the I miss my life part to really relax.

If for a day you couldn't tell a lie, things popped out all honest and unfiltered, who would you choose to spend the day with?

My friend Kim that passed away in 1997.

If you could change one thing about your appearance, what would it be?

My hair...

If you knew voting for a specific candidate this year in the elections would change many lives in a very positive way would you vote for them even if you personally disagreed with all other aspects of their campaign?

Absolutely!

How are you enjoying your life right now? Share what that involves.

despite several external invitations (and one or two internal ones as well) to feel contrariwise about things, i'm enjoying a moment of awareness that is lush in a personal way. i'm getting to know myself again and it's like meeting someone you've read about and know through that reading but have never met. confusing circumstances followed by tragedy convinced me to live without certain parts of myself for a while (no one to blame but myself) and i turned into someone i didnt know and later discovered that i really didnt like. G*d offered me the chance to perform a mitzvah and accepting that opportunity somehow begat this trip which has been better for me than any therapy or confidante has ever been (all respect to the confidants in my life). i'm alone more often than i am with people and when i'm with people they are never people who know me with one exception of an old friend that i'm touching base with right now. no one has any expectation of who i am and in some ways i dont have any expectations either. i can meet each moment with slow awareness and honesty and i am not afraid to be either whereas i was always sort of holding back in my previous lives for fear of rocking boats or losing my footing. now i think that lost footing and boats that rock are myths we scare ourselves with because it's easier to be afraid than to take risks. now every time i find myself beginning to step back from a healthy risk i find myself saying "really? that's who you are? that's who you want to be in the world?" i'm enjoying the risk of knowing myself fully and being thrilled or disappointed or confused or whatever i am in that moment and not worrying about anything but how i feel about those things and what they mean to me rather than what they mean to anyone else.




what real circumstances in your life scare you the most?
