afternoon rant about humans.


" the problem with peace isn't that humanity has failed to come to it, it's that we as individuals have failed to come to peace with ourselves" - Deven Melanson-MacDonald (me)




yes, I wrote that, I wrote that a long time ago after reading the Eight Fold Path.

I've been thinking a lot lately, and observing human behaviors... it's quite amusing, really.
We make all these stupid debates with each other... about things that realistically are not going to change by arguing about it. People are fighting over feminists vs anti-feminists vs equal rights, people are fighting over pro-life vs abortionists, people are fighting over which drummer should replace Joey Jordison of Slipknot...

It's not that we all just got wired up and started kindly debating either, people are just minding their own business and then BAM! it's not a "polite" debate, it's a fight... people are literally getting angry over each other's perspectives, calling the other one an imbecile, and basically ridiculing them, making them sound stupid because they don't believe in the same things.

What has happened to respect? Where has it gone?
Why is everyone fighting?
Can't people just get along for once?

I don't understand what is happening to us... I really don't.
People are getting too angry about things that don't matter, and are being too lenient on things that SHOULD matter.
People are growing distant from one another, and getting sucked into technology. The other day I had a friend say that humans will no longer be required to mate, at all in the next... ie : 100 years... Because they can replicate human DNA and create sperm cells and artificial human eggs, all they have to do is figure out how to make the fetus grow in an artificial womb for 9 months. Lovely.
See what's happening? Science is figuring out a way to create us so that we don't have to even have contact with one another!! Why should we in the first place, right? We're too sucked into our tablets or smartphones these days.

I'll tell you the last person to give me a hug. It was my 3 year old son the other day.
Before that? it was my boyfriend, and before that it was my sister and my cousin.
those are all the hugs I've received in the total of a month.

What happened to embracing each other? giving a kind, warm and sincere hug to a person?
What happened to VENTING? to sitting down and talking with another human?
What happened to leisurely strolls, to crying together?

People have seemed to shut down their emotions completely..

Let's make a change here?

Yes, I'm ranting again...

I think I'm paranoid

Often times I struggle to remember simple facts of life, for example : Fact - it's impossible to lick your own ear while it is still attached to your head. I struggle with anxiety-induced paranoia. I often have difficulties with separating my paranoia from reality. When I was young, I used to think that everyone thought there was someone watching them from just beyond the sight of their bedroom window when they dressed. I used to think that there was someone standing just out of my eyesight at all times, with binoculars, sometimes even looking at me through the walls of my room. I used to think that my radio could record every thought that I had, every whisper, I thought my teddy bears were staring at me, watching me, silently judging. It didn't help that when I'd come home from school, my radio and teddy bears were out of place. Little did I know, my younger sister would come into my room and play. All my life I believed that there were cameras in the bathroom, recording

“I am Jack's complete lack of surprise. I am Jack's Broken Heart.”

Love is making me crazy.. this "breakup" is making me insane... I am at a crossroads. Lately, it feels as if I'm love/hate itself, I don't portray the actions, I AM the actions. I am hate.. I am rage, anger, bitterness. venom for words, spitting on the cold hard truths, just to bear pain on those who listen. I am love. I am kindness,warmth,laughter,joy,care. Sweet melodies for words, sugary syrup dripping from my mouth as I promise sweetness to those who listen. I can't be the hero AND the villain. But most days, it feels as if I am. I'm kind, giving, generous... Then I try to protect myself, and become evil and vindictive and conniving. I think my self defense mechanisms are acting up. A few of the rotors are jammed. I am trying so hard to heal from a broken relationship, but I keep chasing after it. Like a junkie, trying to scrape that last pill out of the bottle, only to watch it fall down the drainpipe... grasping,clawing,begging for it. H

The Married Heart

When I first started this blog, the intended purpose was for me to have a safe place to express my emotions. I never intended it to gain as much significance in other people's lives as it has, I never intended for it to really  be  anything, but I am so eternally grateful that it has. When I first started writing in this blog, I didn't expect what was yet to come. I didn't expect the heart ache, the devastation, all the cruel and inhumane injustices that I had to overcome... but in a strange way, I am also eternally grateful for that as well. There's a gorgeous transformation that I am so incredibly proud of, and it's taken a lot  for me to get to that point in my life where I can actually, genuinely be proud of myself for the incredible amount of personal growth that I've made, but here I am : I am proud of myself. Also, I took the long way around, I had many bumps in the road to get to this point in my life, but I finally, finally  can say with absolute hon
