Still here with me
I try not to waste your time anymore, even though... my Good Advice series was never a joke despite 0 comments from anyone.
Here are some thoughts. I hope they can grow and are not stifled by emotional unrest:
09/19/08
I thought things were one way, but they're another.
Nothing has "changed" - I'm still the same, but what I thought was before me ended up not being there. That's not a first.
One day at a time - today's step: I am not an average joe. I don't do average joe things. I don't think in an average joe way, and I don't do average joe people. And - in fact, joe is not even a capitalized name.
I am Brandon Watson - not a boy (not a girl) - I am the Brandon Watson - I am a Brandon Watson... original and true in every way.
That Murciélago Roadster is mine.
Love is true and non-transient.
I am an anomaly, and it hurts. I sweat, bleed, and cry for people - and do even more so when they betray me.
But... not forever will I be treated as one, because I am not really an anomaly. I am the bar - what is appropriate, one who is striving for all of the things we should be striving for.
Those who lie down for convenience, excuses, laziness, falsities, other people's imperatives and typecasts - these people have failed. Here we see the converse of success. - do not sell out.
May God be glorified in these things - may there be more struggles, new fittings of my person - mind and soul, may there be more blood, sweat, and tears and more burdens - for nothing in our lives will compare to the reality of the Cross.
I am not but my passions - conceived through the divine design of God [ib].
