Most of us have morals. We know what we should and shouldn't do. We also do things that make us feel guilty, but still do it, because in the long run...it's all about SURVIVAL.
None of us truly follow our hearts. We go with whatever is comfortable and hope that will make us happy. Then we find out we still aren't happy, but what we really want isn't worth going for. Fear stands in the way.
Sometimes it's better to have something, than nothing at all. Even if that something makes you miserable. Sounds crazy, but it's true. Trust me, I know.
People get so used to the daily routine, it all becomes "I feel stuck in a rut". Life is going nowhere. It's at a boring standstill.
That's me. At a standstill. It's all followed by stressful outbursts!
At least that's what I'm calling it.

I guess that secretly everyone want the drama, not even the drama but the emotions that come with it. Life can get real boring sometimes. I went thro alot with a person and at times, i would be forget this but deep down inside,those moment, i felt so alive.Can it be that deep down inside are we all masochistic?
Banana Baby. In a sense we all are indeed a masochistic people.
Sometimes the pain can cleanse us. And coming back to rational states of thought from that pain can help us to see things from a very real standpoint, perhaps a healthier one. I hope I made some kind of sense there.
Sassy. "None of truly follow our hearts." I'm going to have to disagree with that one. But, for the most part, this is true. And I like to throw out a quote to illustate what you and I are both saying, at least from my perspective: "Between the velvet lies there's a truth that's hard as steel." Ronnie James Dio. (Rock the afterlife Ronnie!)
Stuck in a rut? Do something out of the ordinary. Even if it's a simple as taking a walk alone to gather your thoughts and just be with nature. Perhaps you schedual has you in this rut, change it. Nothing is as important than our own peace of mind and happiness. Convert those outbursts into another emotion and activity that gives you pleasure. That's one thing that I admire about the Constitution is that it intitles us to the pursuit of happines. It doesn't say you have the right to actually be happy, but to pursue that state of mind. (it was kind of put in there to, I think, save their asses from people demanding to be happy snyway,,) Another Dio quote: "The vision never dies." I think this applies to what I just said here in this paragraph.
I hope you hear these words for what they are: an attempt to help.
Be well, my friend.
oh. one more thing. Just because I know the way, doesn't mean that I am there yet. And sometimes when I do reach these brief intervals of self actualization, they often are soon stomped out by those unexpected twists and turns that life can throw at us.
Now, be well. Mind. Body. And Soul.
Not much I can add to the wisdom above; I do know that you are beautiful inside and out and need to start giving yourself some credit for it!
Thank you for the days you've brightened for me; someday I'll figure out how to return the favor!

Lemme just address each statement as you stated it, maybe, if I can get my head around what I want to say.
Okay, most of us have morals, and a lot of the time some of us follow them when people are watching. I try to follow them even when I'm alone and if it makes me feel sick in my core I don't do it anymore. That's my moral meter. Also, when all of our survival needs are met then we can work on satisfying our higher order needs. Sometimes we have to meet our own needs for love, and honey you and me, we really need to work on the self love part, but that's another story.
I follow my heart in most matters, now, I didn't always.
I hear ya about it being better to have something rather than nothing, even when it makes us miserable, but I've been battling with that for the last nine months. That's how long I've been split up from that man who I love. I love him with every fiber of my being, but I wont let any man dog me ever again, I'd rather be alone than dogged. It's taken me years to come to this point and it's about damned time too. I matter damn it, and if he's not smart enough to figure that out, well then, he's not smart enough to be in my bed.
When we get ourselves stuck in a rut then it's time to do something different, even if it's only taking an alternative route to work, or eating something we've never tried before, small steps make change.
I'm at a standstill too, have been for nine months but I tell ya, there's always a lull before a change, and me and you, WE ARE THE CHANGE!
Oh and masochistic, you bet, but I think it can be over come. I think we tend to have a death instinct, why else would I continue to smoke?
I love you,
mom
