The Truth

On this night I feel so all alone
Empty walls surrounding my empty bones
And everything is alright
But I just can’t shake this feeling aside
Cuz I’ve been looking for something I had before
Something beautiful, something just to make me whole
But everybody, we all need, we need somebody
Cuz nothing ever has come close, and in the end what matters most is
Love.

I met a man out on highway 25
He said he left his kids and kissed his wife goodbye
He said I’m out to lose myself on the open road
Searching while all the world’s not gonna find what he’s got at home
He went looking for something he thought he had before
Something beautiful, something just to make him whole
But everybody, we all need, we need somebody
Cuz nothing ever did come close, and he found out what matters most is
Love.

People dying, world’s are fighting, in our homes our children crying
Tell me what we’re gonna do
Look at the way we live, the things we choose
Cuz everybody needs a home, and the truth is this, and this I know
We’ll fight and just to find a way
In Love.

Cuz we’ve been looking something we ain’t had before
Something beautiful, something just to make us whole
But everybody, everybody, we need somebody
Nothing ever will come close, and in the end what matters most is
Love.

On this night I feel so all alone.

25 Is The New 14

Oh Christmas, the closer it gets, the faster the time goes by – and people start getting nervous. I am almost certain that the first snow and hanging of multi-colored LED lights is as seducing as a bouquet of roses on Valentine ’s Day. No one wants to be alone on Christmas. December starts approaching and people frantically try to reconcile their relationships, or buy a new outfit in a desperate attempt to make their holiday a little more “merry”. Hot chocolate boils on stoves, mistletoe's are hung to be kissed under, blankets are brought out of the closet to be snuggled and fires wait to keep someone warm.. and no one wants to do these things alone. So we search, and prowl for that perfect stranger. We go to bars, we invite ourselves to the social gatherings of our friends, we take another glance at every co-worker just in case we missed something the first ninety times, and we under dress in the dead of winter because looking hot is more important than being cold. People search, and search, and search for someone that will hold their hand at the cocktail party or call them on Christmas day just to say “hi, I miss you”. No one wants to be alone. It’s almost as if we are incapable of surviving the holidays unless we have someone to survive them with. Someone to buy the perfect gift for, show up with at the never ending holiday parties, and text during dysfunctional family dinners. Someone to meet up with at the end of the night even if it’s just to exchange a smile and quick hug. So here’s to the eleven day love, otherwise known as Dec 23rd to Jan 2nd. Here’s to finding Mr. Right, or at least Mr. Right now. Here’s to you, and whatever you need to do to endure the holidays. Cupid came early this year, Tis the season.



Happy Holidays.

Polygon's can be Poisonous

Triangulation in psychology at a basic level is when one family member will not communicate with a second family member, but will go through another forcing that third member into a triangle of dysfunction. All points of the triangle suck. They suck, and no one is happy. A triangle in general is not often the shape that is used to describe a happy situation. So which point of the triangle is the sharpest? The one that gets forced into the shape of misery? The one that is hurt and can’t express their feelings? Or the one that had no idea they were in a triangle to begin with.
