Ever Feel Like You're Yelling....

...and no one is listening?  Ever feel like you are yelling and yelling and begging and pleading and no one hears you, or they look the other way, or what you are yelling about doesn't interest them, that they are doing is more important, or they don't even care?

Do you? Even if its something very important to you and people whom claim you are important to them know it's important to you does it still seem like they don't hear or care?  And don't tell me, what is important to you isn't important to everyone.  I'm not asking for it to be important to everyone.  Just to people whom are close, family and friends.  Because if people care about you, if you are important to them -- things you care about should be important to them too.

Ever feel like you are yelling and no one is listening?  Ever see other people get listened to all the time, yet feel that you are consistently skipped over?  Ever see self-important people get upset if they don't get the attention they seek from others and then wonder why people keep giving them that attention?  Do you?

Do you ever beg for just two minutes of someone's time, just to feel your pleading fall on empty ears?  Ever do what others ask, never to have that favor returned?

Do you ever feel skipped over?  Unimportant? Brushed-aside?  In the way? Ignored?  Lonely?  Afraid???

I do.  All the time.

All. The. Time.

But it isn't just about me.  I see people, good, strong people, step out in faith to follow something they believe to help someone else -- just to have no one respond, no support.  Seeing their failing attempts makes me hurt for them. 

Do you ever feel like no one is listening?

Pray.

Because God is listening.  You may not see the answer you want or get the answer you want.  But He is always there

...it's important.  Isn't it?  Isn't it???

It won't let me embed this video, but its a good song if you want to watch it.

I Read That...

...Ray Bradbury whom just passed away made himself write at least 1000 words a day.  Good idea! Great writer, you will be missed.  My deepest respect and condolences to his family and friends.

I can see why he did this, it keeps the motivation going and it keeps you at a keyboard even if you are not writing anything real, or what you might precieve at the time to be 'real'.  Because great ideas can come from anywhere. 

Maybe I should try and do that too.  

"Don't think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It's self-conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can't try to do things. You simply must do things."

--Ray Bradbury.

Ecclesiastes 5:2:

"Let thy words be few."

--I will come back to this in an entry soon, currently, I am working on letting my words be few...

Take care.

“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”
