Bottles are For Beer

Face-to-face contact is few and far between. We've become robots. Instead of talking we go on computers and send emails or instant messages. We have phones but we don't talk on them, we send text. We read thoughts instead of expressing them because people are scared to express human emotion when that one quality is what sets us apart from other species and reminds us that we're alive.
Nobody confronts anymore, they run away and hide and then they are forced to take prescription drugs to feel the emotions they've been shutting off. What is everyone so afraid of? Why is everyone so scared to put themselves out there?
Kids aren't afraid, they tell you exactly what's on their mind because they haven't yet learned the rules that society has enforced on itself.
I used to hide my emotions but I was very shy. I used to bundle up my problems thinking I was the only one who could fix them, but I was very stubborn.
I shared today...I'm learning, and y'know what? It worked. I was grappling with a problem, something silly really about wounded ego, but I knew in my gut that this time I needed to share. I needed to express my feelings...my emotions. It helped, I feel better. Thank you my friends for listening.
You know I'm always here for you too, and always will be. I am a perpetual good listener. I like to be able to make my friends feel better. I am there to combat the negativ verses that people like to throw at other people. I am a balance, I speak my true feelings...most of the time.
Death has taught me lessons in life. It is through death that I have come to live...to embrace life more fully. Why are we afraid to say "I Love You." If it brings a smile to someones soul then by all means SAY IT!
Don't ever waste a moment...you'll never get it back. People think they have all the time in the world to nitpick and procrastinate, to bitch about stupid things. Priorities are whacked. You think you can wait on things...even important things...you can't.
I feel good. Why? I expressed my emotions and thus let go of the intolerable pain I was inflicting on myself. i let go and a hug later I was able to smile again. This is not an experiment, this is life.
Bottles are for beer, not your feelings. I believe half the problems people have in relationships...any kind of relationship, is miscommunication. Listen twice as much as you speak, but I mean REALLY listen...you'll be surprised at what you hear.
And so it goes...
