DON'T FORGET ME

Dear bloggers,
I hope you are well this evening....i have been thinking a lot about life lately and even if i find myself staring at the screen wondering what to tell you today, i am sure something will come up that i cant fight the urge to tell you....and there you are.today, i want to write to you about that moment that you have to take that step and its scares the hair our of your head... but its time, you are in a do or forget it mode. and your senses are all jerked up and you cant comprehend exactly who came up with the rule that at a certain specified time you are to do this or that and if you don't then you are the weird one ....phew...okay...i know i am talking way too fast but do you feel me? that am supposed to be a 'woman' by the time i am 18...or that i am to marry by 25...and oooh the classic one, i am expected to settle down with my husband with ten kids or so dedicating my whole life to them,,,,,yeah it sounds right to dedicate myself to my family, but where does the girl or boy who once had life and dreams so big go? does he or she get covered in the endeavor to make other peoples lives easier while his or hers is put in the closet or given away, don't forget me that little girl or boy says...please don't leave me, am scared....yes, these words are familiar because at some point in our lives, we have been put in a place where we have to abandon ourselves if not what we believe in, letting go of plans that had us running for years to bend and curve so that we fit in a box and time frame that was set by people who not surprisingly have had their lives set out by others who preceded them...cut the cycle people....remember how happy you were then?when life was less complicated and pressure was not pressure at all...because you did what you felt you wanted to do...it sounds like a child's tale right? but you let that little girl go and you forgot him....am going back to the closet or to whoever i gave her to and get her back, because i believe that when i choose to be how i was then... i wont be thinking so much about life and the decisions i have to make or the consequences i will have to face,why? because i choose to be happy....to be free.....its just a thought, but think about it. nyt bloggers
