Hypocrites.

It seems, from my point if view, that people are so busy protecting themselves from criticism that they have forgotten the principles behind their defense. With that being said, I feel as though we create hypocrites in within ourselves. Prime example; when we find ourselves giving advice, our favorite line is, "Well if I were you ..." when truhfully none of us can honestly say what we WOULD/WOULDN'T do unless we'd been in that very same position ourselves.
It being that most times we know nothing about a particular person's position in any situation until w have been placed in it,  when we are placed in that particular position we do nothing close to what we had previously advised. Nine out of ten times I can guarantee you are then a hypocrite. I mean, really, think about it. For you to give someone advice that you yourself can't even confidently assure that you would use makes you a hypocrite.
Furthermore, those of us who claim not to take advice because of this exact reason, yet still not only take advice and act on it, but also have the nerve to give advice when they aren't even confident in thr advice given, to use it themselves.
I, however, do personally do as though no one can give you advice better advice than YOU. As capable human beings we all come equipped with a conscience, that will undoubtedly lead you in the right direction, it's just that some of, later rather than sooner, learn to tune into our conscience and trust ourselves. I've found that when this point in time occurs, no matter how much the ultimately meaningless words of "advice" sound appealing, we go with our gut. Though sometimes we may be filled with thoughts of regret due to the not so fulfilling outcome of our decisions based off of our own conscience, we sooner or later appreciate the experience. The feeling that is felt when making your own decision is quite... refreshing I would say. As for those of us who think that we are capable of giving advice, lord help you. Not even Doctor Phil is worthy of giving the advice he gives. So please take your heads out of your asses and take a look in the mirror.
I don't say these things to appear "Holier Than Thou", so to speak, it is simply an expression of my personal thoughts. Doesn't matter whether or not you like or not; but you will respect it.

A.M. Thoughts

Man, why is it that for some, an admittance of guilty or fault just isn't enough? If it's not enough to have to swallow your pride and admit such things, there is always that one individual in your life that just has to put their two cents in, and it's always negative.
Prime example, I worked a double shift yesterday and got into some shit afterwards, which brought me home around 2 A.M. I fucked around and overslept, had to swallow my pride and ask my father for a ride to work. Now, alongside his reply of "yes" he bad to throw in the fact that my decision to stay out late was irresponsible. I'm just thinking dude, "WTF ever happened to if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all"? I mean fuck dude, I can't remember the last time this man said ANYTHING positive to me. Is a little positive reinforcement too much to ask for? I realize that I'm almost 23 years old and such things may seem immature, but for a hard working person such as myself, I would appreciate the slightest bit of positive commentary from my own fucking father. But nahh, that's too much to ask for.
Then to top it all off, the man has the nerve to press the issue of me not rushing to move out. Are you fucking kidding me? I deal with enough negativity and what not from outside sources, and the thought of living here longer than necessary & subjecting myself to that shit .. unbearable.
I love my family, but I just don't fit in with them at all. They're ao closed minded it annoys the fuck outta me. Right now I'm doing everything in my power to refrain from speaking out because in this house it causes nothing but problems. This shit is just not good for me. The memories that this beautiful house have left me with and continue to produce are simply too much for me.
Not only do I work my ass off, I have to tip toe around this house to protect my blessing of having this opportunity & my sanity. The shit is ridiculous.

Truths

What is your truth? Furthermore, whag lengths do you do to protect it? Hide it.
My truth? That's not whag we're here for.
So often, even daily we running from our truths. Releasing them into ou vices for the sake of having some place to blame. Blame? How dare you push such a thing as truth onto blame.
Most of us hide from the truth. Why? Oh don't ask me stupid questions and attempt to play me as a fool .. you know why.
It is said that "Truth shall set on free" .. and I feel this is true. However, if you are not yet ready to face the truth, in what way shall it aide you?
Indeed the truth is what we all seek and request from the next individual, but what does that mean when one can't come clean with self? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Until you decide you are ready to admit to self, the truth will do nothing but hurt you.
I, myself, have been battling ASHLEY and what my own truth may bring me. & in my personal opinion it is one of th hardest battles I havr ever endured.
To live life to the fullest seemingly impossible until you have come to grips what is .. and what simply is not.
At the end of my writing this I won't go back and proofread what I wrote, for these are simply my trutths.
All I ask of you, is to see see yourself fot who you are; be it good or bad, because at the end of the day, YOU have no choic but yo live with it .. while everyone else has the choice to pick you up and drop you .. just as you are
