I Am About Being Honest to Myself and Others

Being honest with yourself is so difficult...its painful. It stings...its like pouring salt on an open wound.

Go through 2 Divorces and end up homeless when you owned you own company until your back crippled you
You have nothing but time and you do a lot of self reflection
I have been through it a few times
It never gets easier admitting the problem is not everyone else ,its you
But you do learn to listen better ,and admit you don't know it all
It is humbling ,,but necessary
Or you just keep screwing up ,,thinking its everyone else
not you
Loosing your wife and kids is like your whole family dying
except they are alive ,only the one you love ,your best friend chooses not to be with you ,,,but you won't admit it was your fault
So you go through it again
But this one is not playing ,,she wants to ruin you ,,and she succeeds
Homeless ,no car ,to proud to call friends to help you
Disabled ,,but social security keeps turning you down

You finally admit you belong there ,,but you have no where to go but up
I turned it all around ,now I am more humble ,,I listen better ,and I admit when I am wrong
Now I have a family that loves and respects me
I am still disabled ,,,but I am finally happy
I got my kids back ,,,they forgave me for all they went through in my absence ,,,thats what sucks
Is knowing your screw ups caused your kids to suffer too
that is why SO MANY people cant be alone.
but to learn you you really are? tho stingy?
helps you discover and achieve who you want to become

there you are,, just you and your own brain!
it stops being scary the more you learn

Learn about psychedelics. Psylocybe mushrooms in particular. There is a lot of evidence that they are useful for helping one see through their own ego and have a clearer picture of themselves. Check out Michael Pollan's book [i]How to Change your Mind[/i]. I'm NOT saying go out and drop a lot of acid or eat a whole eighth of 'shrooms but an educated consumer can learn a lot about themselves through careful exploration. Explore with someone you trust who is either sober or has experience.

Dr. Annie says:

Take 3 two finger shots of Jack Daniels followed by some aspirin and call me in the morning!

Trust me, you may still have the urge to kick yourself in the pants from all that honesty but you'll be too hung over to care!
