lost in the wake
and spitting sea foam
break in the frosty air
thunder through the stones
and wake in the cold night
under stars
you have never seen
remember what you've
never known but
always felt
some of my favorite people in the world would be labeled as "asshole" or "bitch." This is because they say what they think and mean what they say.
now this is not a bad thing despite what the current "social climate" dictates. I was/am friends with these people because I did/do admire them. People saying what they wish to say is so rare nowadays. Political Correctness is the big castrator for our american society. James, an ass, Hutch, an ass, Edward, a crazy ass, Sil, a bitch, Stacey (both), a bitch, Debbie (as much as i respect her), a bitch.
I admire and respect people who say what they hell is going through their heads without bothering with filters. I wish I could do the same. People who are blunt and plain in their speaking are often given bad names and most people whisper this opinion from behind their hands because they don't want to face the "asshole's wrath."
I learned from Hutch and Sil that being called an asshole or a bitch is a compliment. One should not accept the world as you see if you think it can be less stupid (or in Sil's case more to your liking) just to be accepted.
I learned from James and the Stacey's that you won't be happy unless you live life the way YOU want it.
And from Edward and Debbie that unless you say what you mean, you won't live how you wish to live and as such you won't be as happy as you can become.
And from My Father, I learned that unless you take care of yourself you cannot take of anyone else. To me that is the best reason to be an "asshole." Though I refuse to call my Father an asshole.
Care about what people say but do not let the concerns of others rule your life. Understand the pain of others but do not let their irrational pains drag you down. Say what you want to say but know that no one can make you feel anything you do not want to feel.
My second greatest accomplishment in life is learning how to be an asshole without being an asshole.
my greatest accomplishment is being happy to be me and not wanting to be anyone else. even those that i admire
For the first time in a long time... I am happy being Frankie. Contentment is mine. At least for a little while. ;) nothing lasts forever.
For the first time, the waves break upon me and the silent echoes splash against nothing. (I had to ruin it all by being a little melodramatic!)
