Wheel. Deal. Stand Alone. Lead, Follow. Get Out of the Way

Words to live by.

Actions to take.

Words that lie.

Go with the fake.

Still. Your choice. For the time being.

Trust me.

It is ok to stand alone.

Actually.

It is good to stand alone🧑🏼‍🦯👩🏼‍🦯

As long as you can stand alone.

It is not for the weak.

It is not for the weary.

It is not for the fearful.

It is not for the unbalanced.

It is not for the doubtful.

It is not for the hedgers.

It is not for the worriers.

It is not for the joiners.

It is not for the grippers.

It is not for the gripers.

It is not for those easily prone to stress.

It is not for the scaredy cat.

It is not for the anxious.

See the pattern?

The prone position is not an easy one to rise up from.

Especially if and when the burdens on your back seem heaviest.

The chip on your shoulder is becoming a boulder.

To quote a diligent service person: “Do not give an inch.” Because if and when you do.

You may fall flat on your face.

How can you tell?

Have the scars to prove it. When your face bluntly hits the cement.

It hurts.

A lot.

For a very long time.

In different ways.

Wartimes tactics and lesson: Stand your ground.

Some persons will laugh at you too. And that always ouches. Rather than reach out their hand to to pick you up, they instead reach for a camera, point and shoot it at you in order to snap a memory of the moment for it to last a lifetime. To use for later. As a “reminder”.

Ouch. For sure. Stupid. For sure. Stupid is as stupid does.

And the wheels go round and round and round and round. Dizzyingly so.

The hypocrisy is mind numbing along with the lack of moral grounding. Surround yourself with those who have your back. That way, when you possibly end up in the prone position, for whatever reason.

You will not be left behind.

You can look back at the memory with the confidence of a good soldier. A good life soldier. Chin up. Move along.

Advantageous seekers are around every corner. At every intersection. Time after time after time. Depletion is a fickle beast.

Sometimes friendships are just not meant to me.

Overwhelming. Indeed.

Because people fake it.

Pretend.

Do anything.

Say anything.

To get inside.

Most of the time. When they get caught. With their hand in the cookie jar.🍪 Leaving the delicious crumbs behind for the fine motored skills attempt to pick up. Like a new baby. Fist to mouth.

See the irony?

Your own fist delivering the punch of emptiness to your own mouth.

Ironic.

My words. These words are intended to earn your trust. Your trust is a valuable commodity in my book. (When it surfaces, and it will surface someday) It will make more sense. You will understand. Until then. We gotta muddle through. The here and now, the “this,this”.

In the meantime, we are here.

Caution.

Warning.

Stay Awake.

Stay Alert.

Demise may be just around the corner.

The good news:

There are a handful of good persons in the world.

Find them.

Do not let go of the bond.

Stop punching yourself in the face.

Because the stakes are so high. And the steaks are so high. In an instant life can change. In an instant.

Weather the storm. Stand together. A picture is worth a thousand words. The better news, a lifetime is worth a thousand million gagillion more. Good words. Good works.

Not drama. No drama. Because chances are it is fake. A fake. Just to make the deal. Seal the deal. And move along. The Super Bowl of all fakes. Do not get sucked in, fall prey, join the-pile-on-tackle-club-of-deceipt and deception.

Lingerers linger for a specific purpose. And it usually is not a good purpose. Properly reasonable persons exist.

Find them.

They will provide light from the darkness. Help you to get started. Watch your world become forever changed. Even if and when your heart has broken in two. A new life begins and the old is redeemed. (Jc)

The gift of you will keep on giving. If of ole’ ball and chain isn’t what you thought it would be.It never usually is. Pushed to the limit from your life and you can live as you want. With the other ball and chain gang of your choice. You can roll along, wheel and deal for the rest of your lives together.

It is ok to stand alone.

Tamperers are around every corner. Camera shooters too. While in the desperate prone position or upright sitting position at the other end of the table for that matter. Remember. If you move the camera, then you know you did something wrong (gb) This is not my first rodeo, first go around, first time at the circus.

Human life is precious. Life Matters. The We There, The There There. The Everywhere Everywhere.

Most anyone can talk their way out of a paper bag.

When and if you are suffocating under the weight of cruel and unusual punishment. Doled out and deemed worthy by a dishonest person in a dishonest world. Just to wheel and deal to make a deal.

Or so is seems sometimes.

When your reserves are depleted.

You can lead.

And no one may follow.

You can follow

And be led down the worst possible path.

Try getting out of the way.

Out of their hair.

And let them all play with one another alone together.

Sometimes a forfeit is the only option.

When the past has a pattern.

You are trying to break.

Move along.

Find the right person.

Who thinks similar to the way you do.

No two persons think the same.

But persons who live a true good and honorable life can and often think similar.

The good news.

Many people are good.

Are “out there”.

Find them.

Most likely they will not be hanging out at the local DMV.

But. That is ok.

You still have the power to steer.

Just please.

Keep you hands at ten and two.

Keep your eyes on the road.

Keep your eyes moving.

Keep a spare in order to change a flat.

And. Please.

Put the phone down.

Thanks.
