Letter to Myself

This letter was pretty cool when I wrote it... Now it seems kind of cheesy to me.

Reality

A Letter to Myself

From: current 17-year-old me

To: 14-year-old me

Why can't you see

Reality?

Your soul is breaking

Your skin is aching

Or should I say-

You're aching inside your skin...

Why can't you see

Reality?

Your silent crying?

Your soul is dying

You're growing masculine and hairy

Isn't it scary?

Stop hiding your pain

-from yourself

-from others

You need to find yourself

You're trapped in a young man's body

Girl, you need to see

Reality

That is what I call "a moment of the soul." Those are quite beautiful to me. Purity, self confession, what is not to like?

Anyone can call me corny, but I like it! Quite a bit actually.

No whine, no cheese, just your soul speaking out to me. I really like it. Maybe it should be moved into Poetry Forum next week too, so it doesn't get quickly lost in the sauce. These words will help someone, old or new, here someday. Thanks for sharing. Hug. JodyAnn

That is so true!

You are very welcome. :) And yes, that would be excellent to move it into a Poetry Forum. I looked for a while, but couldn't find one - so I just put it in general.

Since you guys had this idea of where it should be, look what I did, I did leave a link in the general forum for you.

One of these days I will get around to putting some of my stuff here too.

Love it! If it were not for the paradox effects I'd totally send something like that to the ten year old me and my mom, just as soon as I have access to a time machine.

We can only dream, Melissa

I'd chance the paradox

      Satisfaction   Satisfaction. The feeling when something meets or exceeds your expectation. You feel satisfaction when you expected to get something, and then got it.

      Good morning, everyone! I've finally pretty much finished with this head cold. I actually got 5.5 hours of straight sleep last night without taking any cold medication...or waking up to pee. I feel amazingly rested!!   Oh, @Willow, you are in my thoughts and prayers that your throat issue becomes less of a problem over time and not more.   I'm, hopefully, going to get our grass cut today. It takes me somewhere between 2.5 and 3 hours on the zero turn mower but the ground is still so wet that I'll have to slow down a bit. At least it's supposed to be sunny and around 60.   Have a wonderful day!!

      This is all such wonderful news!!!! I can feel the happiness in your words.

      We have had some real dillies come out as the initiative sort of thing, but as @Carolyn Marie said, very few make it out of the petition signing seasons.  I am not surprised at the origin site of this thing, it is probably one of only 3 regressive leaning counties we have in the state. We actually had one of these initiatives started to make it mandatory for police to shoot dead on site any Gay behaving individuals wherever they found them.  For the most part the matters are poorly written in ways to be unenforceable even if enacted.  Thus most never become law or get to the voters.

      You make some good points, AYS.  But there are usually already too many ballot propositions each election, so the proponents know it's best to wrap it all up into a nice package.  Plus, it's easier for the signature gatherers.  Otherwise they have to have a separate clipboard for each proposition.  Too much paperwork, dontcha know?   This kind of proposition is a loser in CA, so the only possible way the proponents can succeed is to give it the scariest title imaginable and try to put one over on the voters before they get wise.  Bottom line; an ice cube on a hot summer sidewalk has a better chance of success.   Carolyn Marie

      Reading that article, it seems like the attorney general gets to call it whatever unless its an outright lie.  Given the nature of politics in CA, it seems like one side has the bully pulpit for sure.  Labeling it "Restricts Rights" vs "Protects Kids" is very much a matter of perspective.  Unfortunately, that matters since many voters don't bother to read.  Perhaps a better (unbiased) way to handle it would be to simply give the ballot measure a number with no title, forcing folks to read it.    I think it would have been better to handle the various issues covered by the ballot measure separately, rather than all at once.  For example, issues relating to disclosure of medical and social information to parents.  That could be its own ballot measure, rather than lumped in with everything else.  Besides, shorter and more succinct measures are more likely to be read completely.
