~ If You're In My Life ~

“I don’t surround myself with people who are constantly positive, always smiling to mask the bullshit life they actually have. I prefer people who are real, honest and raw. I don’t want anyone who walks on eggshells around me. If your day sucks, I want to hear about why it sucks so I can help make it better. If you’re not really happy, don’t fake a smile on my behalf. I’d rather you spill your guts with tears every day, until your smile is real because I don’t care about the show, the disguise, the political correctness. [c=008099][b]If you’re in my life, I want you to be in your own skin.[/b][/c]”

This post speaks the truth so much!! People aren't perfect. We have our flaws!! Just be you always!!🌺🦋💖

@Indy74 Indeed. We can [b]all[/b] set out on a path to keep a positive attitude, but the truth is, not every day allows us the power of a positive mindset. Some days we just crumble and it's crucial to accept those days, and never shelter our true feelings in a heap of pretense. I highly value those precious few who show me their true selves and allow of me to do the same.💞😊

@MoonlightLullaby you totally speak the truth!! I intend on following exactly what you said. 🌟💯🤩

Theirs nothing like telling it as it is 👍
MoonlightLullaby · 41-45, F
@antonioioio No biggies. It just made me wonder 😉
antonioioio · 70-79, M
@MoonlightLullaby no biggies? That could mean a multitude 😉 🤭
MoonlightLullaby · 41-45, F
@antonioioio Are you trying to be naughtily [b][big][c=A69800]pun[/c][/big][/b]ny, my newfound friend?!😏🤭

@Noble Hiya stranger.🤗💖

I'm so happy to see you throwing some poetics around. I've yet to see this side of you. I likey!✨
Noble · 56-60, M
Ohhhh, there’s many sides to me. *insert questionable cackle

IKR …I’ve been MIA from here a bit - Nice to ‘see’ you. 🤗
@MoonlightLullaby
MoonlightLullaby · 41-45, F
@Noble Now you have me curious about all these hidden facets. Show us [b]more[/b]! We need more creativity here, dearest Noble.🌟

No worries about MIA's, we all need them. Even inbox anxiety can creep in, or so I've heard from some silly redhead 😉
Coletracer · M
I like that! My outlook exactly!
MoonlightLullaby · 41-45, F
@Coletracer Awesome. So glad to meet a like-minded soul, even if our paths have crossed here & there. 😉

My day sucked
Except for the walk in the woods, that was good
And also the Hummingbird that came to the feeder three times
So I know it's worth boiling the water and sugar for them
There's other shit going on though, but I make my own fun.
fun4us2b · M
@MoonlightLullaby Lol - we're all weirdos - that's what makes it so fun! And, thank you as I may do that.... 🤗
MoonlightLullaby · 41-45, F
@fun4us2b Happy to help if I can. Sometimes it's enough just to know someone cares & shows no judgment. 😊💫
fun4us2b · M
@MoonlightLullaby Very true 🤗
Lilred2289 · 31-35, F
I love this. This is what makes you such a kind soul. 💕
MoonlightLullaby · 41-45, F
@Lilred2289 It takes one to know another. I'm glad to know you now. Thank you.🌷🍃💖
Lilred2289 · 31-35, F
Me too! I’m very happy. You’re so welcome. ❤️ @MoonlightLullaby
A wonderful quote... thank you for sharing it.. ⚘
MoonlightLullaby · 41-45, F
@Soossie My pleasure, lovely Soosie. 🌷💫

Truer words spoken and bring the honesty that is needed, be the person you are and do not paint on a fake smile to make others feel better if your suffering is too much for them. then perhaps they were not your friends, to begin with. healing starts with feeling better about ourselves.
MoonlightLullaby · 41-45, F
@Reaverwolf Indeed you're correct. For me, authencity is extremely important. Even if it's the "authentic self" you can't be beyond these virtual walls.
WandererTony · 56-60, M
It is not easy to get friends who want you in your true skin. Most want what is convenient for them to handle. If you get a friend who really cares, hold fast and hold on. And give back what you get. Thats the true bliss of friendship.
MoonlightLullaby · 41-45, F
@WandererTony Indeed, so true! For me, I take people's feelings seriously and that's why I appreciate my little circle so much. I try being kind to all, but when it comes to sincere friendship, I'm a 4 quarters vs a hundred pennies type of person. I invest to the furthest and best of my abilities into those select inviduals as they do me. As you said, you give what you get ect. I have always been a fan of authenticity, even if it's the authentic person you can't be beyond these virtual walls. I mean, we're humans, not robots, so we all have feelings and inadequacies. Take sensitivity for example, some may deem it as a weakness or something to hide, but I find it to be the sign of a good heart.

Btw; I'm known for writing infinite paragraphs. In case you didn't notice. 🤔🤭
Dino11 · M
Absolutely.
MoonlightLullaby · 41-45, F
@Dino11 You sound like you'd be a good friend since you agree.🙂
Sterler45 · 36-40, M
People can have different issues, we try as much as we can to understand
Sterler45 · 36-40, M
@MoonlightLullaby I love that, it’s so important to others you care and look out for them
MoonlightLullaby · 41-45, F
@Sterler45 Thank you. It's just the fabric of my being. I give from the heart without an agenda and love showing them their strengths vs their weaknesses. I also help them sort through the latter should they ask or need it.
Sterler45 · 36-40, M
@MoonlightLullaby I can tell your heart is true and genuine. It would be amazing to feel such warmth and care.
Insightful1981 · 41-45, M
Pardon my language but THIS is f*cking BEAUTIFUL ☀✌🌈
Insightful1981 · 41-45, M
@MoonlightLullaby yes! I kinda shouldnt give up being precious and who i am 🤗🌈💜🌸

That is what I remember friendships used to be like. ❤️
MoonlightLullaby · 41-45, F
@SW-User Wanna be friends?💐
SW-User
@MoonlightLullaby It would be my pleasure. ❤️
MoonlightLullaby · 41-45, F
@SW-User I forgot to say welcome to my little circle.😊💖
Adamski24 · 41-45, M
Sorry did you just say going skin me then wear me as a costume?😂😂
MoonlightLullaby · 41-45, F
@Adamski24 It should be worded as "comfortable in your skin", but I couldn't f up her words.🤭

But what if I want to?!😜
Adamski24 · 41-45, M
@MoonlightLullaby I feel bad now that I made change it,you shouldn't have done that.
You can wear it if you like I'm nice e like that.😄😂
MoonlightLullaby · 41-45, F
@Adamski24 No worries, I left her words as is. I was bothered by its wording myself..😉


That's some Silence of the Lambs kinda freaky.😳😏....
If I start "being myself" I'd be either thrown out of this country or jailed !
Considering my temperament.
MoonlightLullaby · 41-45, F
@MissAnonymous Bless your heart. Too much built up hostility, I suppose? Usually it's caused by deep trauma, thus my empathy. It's not stated due to pity. Hopefully you can overcome it one day.♥️

Regardless, I accept people as they are, and try to support them the best I can. We all have some sort of toxic trait.

Be yourself and no matter what they say !

@MoonlightLullaby That's what i am, and when i said '' be yourself '' doesn't necessary means '' you'' it's any one !
MoonlightLullaby · 41-45, F
@HPL69
I gotcha now & totally agree 😌
SW-User
Makes a lot of sense
MoonlightLullaby · 41-45, F
@SW-User I'd hope so. I don't allow many people in, but for the ones that are, I fully accept them as they are. Doesn't everyone deserve to be comfortable with at least one person whom they can spill their vulnerabilities and not so stellar moments? I love breaking down walls and building people up, so authenticity is must with me.💫
SW-User
@MoonlightLullaby Me too, we are all perfectly imperfect
MoonlightLullaby · 41-45, F
@SW-User Indeed. People need to be reminded of that. What they may see as a weakness can actually be their greatest strength.
I am in my own skin promise. 😉
MoonlightLullaby · 41-45, F
@Sojournersoul That ending made for a good pun.🤭... but I wish she would've worded it differently.
@MoonlightLullaby Yes it did. 😏
MellyMel22 · F
[i][c=BF0080]This is great..[/c][/i]
MoonlightLullaby · 41-45, F
@MellyMel22 Thanks. This post is all YOU just as much as it's me . You're raw, you're loyal, you're authentic and you care!💕

Notice the group title.😉 You have a [big]big[/big] heart too🌷

@Lilnonames Kudos for wearing a smile in this harsh world. It's not that I don't smile because I'm not happy. I just naturally smirk whether someone makes me laugh or as I stare into the beautiful night sky.
