Open Your Eyes
Get up, get out, get away from these liars
'Cause they don't get your soul or your fire...*
This is me rambling today because I can... So, this may not make any sense to you at all - it makes perfect sense to me.
I often wonder what people are thinking when they do certain things (mostly such things that either hurt others or end up hurting themselves in the end). I guess because I am at a point in my life where I finally accept who I am. I'm past all the angst, confusion, and caring-what-people-think stage. At least I think so. We all have set-backs when unexpected things happen.
But I can say that I don't live my life for others or for what others may think of me. I used to. We have all succumbed to social forces at one time or another. Most people still do now. I can't say that I know the meaning of life nor do I think I know all the answers. Heck, I'm far from that but I do know that I'm happy.
I wish people would open their eyes and see what is really there. I know they'd be happier or at least know what would lead them to be happier if they stopped conforming, worrying, and living for the wrong thing- whatever their wrong thing is...
I just hate seeing people that I care about continually unhappy or in a messed up situation because they think that have to do what they are supposed to do. Seriously, I think we can decide for ourselves. If more people decided for themselves rather than letting others and media decide for them we'd be better off.
Why can't people see what is right in front of them?

I concur with your post as well.
I'm with you on this one. I too am at a point in my life similar to yours - I live my life for ME!
However, it wasn't always that way and took me a long time to Open my eyes. The thing was I had people telling me forever, but until my heart and mind were ready to see things the way they were it didn't matter.
People have to find these things out for themselves or it will never make a difference. All we can do is be there to show them, through our own lives, how sweet it is to break free from whatever it is that's making them unhappy!
Great post Amanda! :)
Wondering what happened to you, Ihad stumbled upon you last year, when my 11 yr old was found to have EE. How are your boys doing? We're dooing great on a restricted diet, and in inhaled steroid.
