Attract/Repell with intensity
I too often wonder how dramatically different, perhaps my mentality is from my peers. When I was a child I tended to be more excepting that many of my peers tended to be doing with their time what I felt as a waste. However, perhaps the simpler life, coupled with simpler mentality and desires towards a individuals future, as well as ambitions, may be the way to go. I have a constant nagging drive since as far back as I can remember to accomplish things. To be in a constant state of mass accomplishment. I have always felt that perhaps I think too much. Not for the reason that you may think, simply because I feel that perhaps I contemplate in more avenues of awareness than many of my peers. But not only this, I also tend to keep a constant record of these thoughts. I have journal entries such of this since I was age 11. When I was younger, it made much sense that my peers were not doing the same. However now in my mid 30s I look around and nothing is changed. To date, I have never met the company of even one individual that records to the level of eye. Perhaps I am in the wrong circle. Rats I do not surround myself with enough writers. I'm sure that if I started attending such groups I would then feel the influence of my peers and perhaps inspiration. I tend to be spending most of my time inspiring others. Which is also good. I do very much enjoy the inspiration that I give others, however I do crave inspiration myself. I do feel that I have perhaps more mentors and others, and it is this constant driving towards goals that my mentors have accomplished but keep me on this road. However, I do feel that many of my mentors are not actually taking a active role in my life. I more watch their accomplishments and for those that I know, I try to mingle with often. Now as a undeniable adult, viewing my peers life, I see the same acts of repeated mediocrity . However, when I discuss this with them with nonjudgmental interest as a outsider of this mentality, they truly show no desire towards what I feel as greater thanks. And I almost admire this. Perhaps this is where the term, ignorance is bliss originates. I have a constant need to discover, learn, grow, expand and become a better self. I have no recollection of when this started and I do not feel that it is any greater now than when I was a child. I do hope that my children will hold the same mentality. However if they do not, I will have to learn to work with their personalized mentality, which will also intrigue me further. I enjoy working with individuals that view life from a different I. I often feel that perhaps my personality is too intense for any one person for a extended amount of time. This does not bother me, however others have voice to me that I should change. And I do not feel that I should change, so I do not. I am happy with who I am with my intensity. I do not feel stressed, or bothered by my mentality. And I often shield my true power of my being from others. To not overwhelm them. As soon as they start to see a part of me at first it intrigues, then it frightens. Perhaps I have become the car accident that they cannot look away from. LOL. The intensity of the situation attracts them, however it is the same intensity that repels them.

You, have no idea. I just want you to know, I think I've written more than you in my 22 years than you have in your 34, and I feel the same way. Honestly, it's really encouraging to hear this, because I've been working to get my life straightened out, because I did let myself go, and my relationships suffered, and the people in my life suffered, and I need to change. I'm trying to change myself. I'm doing it, but it's gonna take work, and throwing out a lot. Simplifying.
ReplyDeleteI have to do this periodically to remind myself that it's okay to let go, and I just need to be myself, because you're right, and you know it, and I think you're amazing, and I don't care what anyone says or thinks about that. I want to see you do great things, and I'm glad to be a part of them.
