Signs and Signposts

Mood: contemplative
Listening to: time ticking away....

Things starting to happen,  am getting 'signals' and 'directions' and I like it!!! It feels like I am a sentient being, slowly being coaxed out of my cave.. I would of said I was a bear being coaxed out of hibernation, but that's not accurate!! ha ha..I am not! planning to be grumpy when the weather warms up!..

Am having doubts about my true love.. if I see him again, he may be disappointed and this is a worry.. he might not like my less than perfect face, smile, figure, hair... he may see too many 'flaws' in my exterior that he overlooks me completely.. has he come as far as me or is he still behind??.. I will have to wait and see....

I have become much more 'beautiful' on the inside and outside, of course, no where near as beautiful as I could have been.. but, that is relative.. I think beauty is actually love.. no-one is ever perfect all the time, at every hour, in every situation.. some things make us appear different and un-attractive.. can anyone honestly say they look beautiful when they wake up??!! No Way!!! you might have puffy eyes, pale skin, messy hair ..every day is different..nobody is so perfect, they are always 'beautiful'!!....?

If he doesnt 'see' me to be beautiful, it is something I am prepared for.. I have a lot to live for.... I dont mind if he prefers the company of some supermodel rather than me.. if he is happy then thats nice, I wont argue.. I can try to get his attention, but obviously, not too much.. these things cannot be forced - ever. Wish me luck!!

Anyone who reads this, please vote in my poll.. ..........> cheerio come back soon!

Set free

I am starting to fall in love with someone.. actually I have probably always loved this person, but I was too scared to do anything about it..How awful that fear can stop us from going after what we need or want.. the first time I saw his photo, I knew he was my true love.. when I found out more about him, I was certain.. we seemed to have matching souls as far as I could work out... he loved everything I loved, he thought like I did.. and of course, I thought he was the most handsome man I had ever seen in my life - his photo jumped out at me as if to say "Pick MEEE!!!", I felt like I knew everything about him, he was so gorgeous to me that I thought I would cry..I was captured right then, but my fear immobilised me... I put his picture away and set him into my mind as an impossible target....

After all this time of hiding my desire away.. I have started to think that I ruined my whole life. I cant imagine how happy I could have been if I had tried to find him... I have missed out on my real life in fact!!! All the time between then and now has been wasted on growing up!!......?

Thinking about this a little longer, I discovered that not going after my true love was not the only thing I had denied myself.... while I care about what I am doing in my current career, I noticed that I would probably have been so much happier and successful had I chosen a job that I truly loved... The trouble was that back then I felt a lot of pressure to make money, I wanted my family to be proud...I decided to give up on my dream.

Everybody tells us that we find success when we are truly "on our path"...this is probably very true!!.. When we are doing our best work, we at our happiest, we have more to offer the world and our relationships, we are more powerful and focussed, we have more confidence in our abilities and the process of the universe. We can give out our creativity to the maximum, people appreciate it and want us to do more, life overflows with abundance..When we are truly on our path, everything goes along right.. we can access every happiness, everything good can happen.. I dont think we find our soul mate if we are unhappy or on the wrong path....

... this probably explains a few things about why I am where I am.. I got stuck on a path that is growing weeds and drying up in front of me...it has been sapping my energy, draining out my time, costing me the earth!!, and it is not making me any money or any friends either!! - I am over-due for a change to something which will allow me to free my creativity, express my self.. get me back to a life that I love..

Somebody told me to make a list of what I want in my life partner..I think that is so hard...I should make a list of what I dont want- my true love is not going to meet my expectations, he is going to exceed them!! and thats what it is all about. I think a list is impossible to write anyway because it is finite.. it would take me the rest of my life to get to know him!.. every time I try to write a list - this is the kind of thing I end up with:

- tall, dark and handsome, honourable, loving, passionate, honest. He would want to take me out to things, dinner parties, dances, he would want to introduce me to his family and friends, he would want to be spontaneous, he would love me the person very much, he would see my potential, he would be very affectionate, caring and thoughtful. As far as looks are concerned, all I know is that he will know when he sees me. There will be something about me, that will capture him so that he keeps on chasing me even after he has got me, there would always be romance, he would go out of his way not to upset me or argue, he would worry about me when I am away, he is the type of person who would do anything for me as I would for him.

What I havent factored in to all this is that I am human and so is he!!! I was not brave enough to try to find him, but he wasnt brave enough to find me either.. I guess it is not all my fault and it is not his fault either..

What is really great about the world, nature, god and all the power of the universe is, that while we are here (alive and on earth), we have unlimited chances to reach our potential.. the universe, unlike people, never ever gives up.

True love - if you are reading this.. please forgive me that I gave up on you, I promise to find you - I am sorry, I have loved you all my life, I will love you till the end of time, I miss you and I dont want to live without you.

Melting point

Cold is setting in... temperature doesnt mean that much to some people - it means a lot to me.. in winter, if I cant get outdoors or into the sun on occasion, I get in a slump, depressed etc.. there is something about sunshine that cheers me up completely... it could be a radiation thing.... may be if I were a plant, I would be tuned in to a certain frequency of sunlight so that I could carry out photosynthesis.. I might be one of those plants that can survive in a dimly light rainforest, with only a little light filtering in through the other trees..I can make the most of the specs and flickers of light that come through.. the occasional sunny day in a sea of blustery winters.. but, actually, I am not like that any more.. I can proudly say that I can get by completely without sunlight!!...I have found a vitamin supplement which includes vitamin D and betacarotene... and with these, I dont need sun!! The upside of this discovery is, I guess, that when global dimming starts to worsen, it will not worry me that much and when sunlight starts to slow down to a pitter and plants stop growing and smog and dust and pollution are really effecting the earth, I wont be depressed..I can just keep taking vitamin supplements.. one day there may be a supplement which simulates the effects of trees, fresh air and oxygen.... ?

Visitor from the North

I just spent two days with an old friend who came to visit along his journey. This friend is fiendishly intelligent, impatient, easily bored and hilariously funny.. the pair of us made an unusual duo going around to do things, shop and find food.. He was my first visitor to stay at my new home which I love soooooo much even though I am solitary. I enjoyed the company and even getting thrashed at outdoor chess. This is not a romance of course, I doubt there would be anyone that could capture my attention now - I have my heart set on someone much further away...

Be very afraid...

I like the idea that life has continuity... there are some things in life we can all be sure of... what is annoying me no end is the bull@@@t that is around out there.. and I bet it is not only me that it happens to.. .. "we will get back to you shortly about your application.. of course, there is nothing wrong with you"... Should it be that hard for a person to get a job or get decent medical help??? - no, it shouldnt. I have written about this before. I am fairly convinced that I have cancer, but, I cant get any help. Most doctors think I am a hypochondriac I am sure.. What??? not dying!!?? geez dont even worry!!! and about that tumour in your arm - you'll be fiiiiiine.. It is really annoying, I must be really dumb.. could it be that we have developed a 'way' to treat people that we dont 'want' anymore??.. we just refuse to help them and then of course they will soon die and then we wont have to worry about them anymore..and if they are screwed up, all the better because screwed up people obviously have nothiing to offer anyway.... we certainly dont have to feel bad that we "did" something bad to them on "purpose" - they were "sick", they just "died", it was "natural causes"... it wasnt our fault!! and actually (no-one cares about that person anyway).... Fuck this!!! I am phoning amnesty international!!!

Daydream

Mood: fictional
Listening to: air

A car shot past in front of me as the smoke cleared..first the lights, then the noise as the world came back into focus and I spun around to stop on my feet, head up slowly looking into the night, I had arrived near a highway...damm portable control panels, never provide instructions on landing points - you gotta enter your coordinates and hope for a decent arrival.. About 60,000 metres of roads, lights and highways stretched out before me.. I had to find my contact asap... on this planet, if you are noticed you are likely to get into trouble - strangers are made to bear the brunt of emotional angst, scapegoats for society's frustrations, a good way to explain over-spending or internal corruption... I kept my head down and moved into a crowd of people, if I looked as though I knew where I was going, I should be ok.. Where I come from everyone is telepathic, you can read a persons thoughts from a single glance.. I had advanced this skill, I can now read a photograph.. my psychic abilities always help me stay safe from danger and nasty types..always helped me study the right things for exams too!...

.... "you are here for the tour mam??".. "yes thank you, I have a booking" .. "welcome to ursa minor!, you are in room 12, here is your key, let me know if you need anything, enjoy "..

during the night, I woke up from the traffic noise - how do they sleep here!!??.. - I can get by without sleep now, for up to a month... a brief meditation provides sufficient energy but I prefer real sleep....I got up to review the tour details and make notes, I sent a message to amelia and tristan..amelia has been following my story, she knew I had to come here alone.. she is becoming a follower.. tristan is learning about my language, I am training him, we are going to meet up and write up our idea.. he knows who I am

At 9:15am both suns were up, five layers of atmosphere were visible.. since they figured out atmospheric re-processing, the air was clean, no pollution just noise and busy skies.. I made my way to the auditorium to meet the coordinator and register.. I had been selected from a small group of assistants.. while I was here, I would try to find my contact, if I can find him we could stop the war.... The night before I had reviewed his photo, he was worrying about whether there was any hope at all, he seemed to think he had lost something very important, he looked so unhappy now..... I knew I was running out of time, how could I tell him everything would be alright!!??

Background to the picture..

Mood: honest
Listening to: computer buzzing

...

... So - you have gathered from the last few entries that I am on a solo journey and have been for quite a while.. this has been good, introspective, working out some stuff, doing some inner healing and re-grouping .. I am still doing it but, I dont want it to be like this forever.. At present I am in a cycle in which I also have no choice but to be a hermit..I dont get many opportunities to make new friends and I cant just 'go out' on my own or else people would think I am a loony or a pro.. I am neither. I dont have leporasy, the plague or any other weird bug that I know of either.. I am normal, healthy well-adjusted considering my situation at present.

... According to my astrological and metaphysical profile I am a mystic / dreamer even visionary and I was meant to be this way.. and fair enough I am very spiritually minded and I dont mind being on my own... I am always kind of daydreaming about life..

...

... Basically, I am used to the solo experience. I have never been surrounded by many people in my life, usually a close 'other' -..

...

... I am not sure exactly how to explain all this ok or where to start.. When I was about 15 or so, I went in this dance competition..... I was the kid at the high school dances that never stopped ok - I was 'obssessed' with music and loved dancing.... .. Anyway, this dance competition ok.. I entered it at the last minute, did some crazy inspired dance routine which I made up on the spot, and got in to the final.. mum didnt actually give a stuff when i told her about it.. at the final, I chickened out - .. it was a huge event - half the population of the town was there, media and everything.. it would have been fantastic fun - but I was too shy..

... Basically, I have had a few career changes in my lifetime ok.. I went from music and drama, sports you name it.. I was good at most things but my mum had the enthusiasm of a wet blanket which just made everything seem pointless.. I did secretarial work for about 5 years - it was dull, I hated being temporary, I couldnt see why I wasnt good enough to have a permanent job like everyone else.. all the while I was figuring out what I should do for a 'real job'..

... I had this thing about dolphins and trees so I chose biol ..it seemed sensible.. I figured if I got the quals, people would believe me when I told them they were killing the fish by using pesticides ... and that ripping out old growth forrests would stuff everything... something like that ok.. I went in to uni, got the quals (worked my arse off!!) and now its like 10 years later - I dont have a job in it yet..

...I dont know why I bother to have a plan - my life is a joke!...

... So .. that is most of it.. there is more but that is private.. if I ever decide to put it in a book, fine, go read it, I will provide the weblink...

... I think I am probably from another planet ..... I feel very misunderstood, even by myself!

...

... I have about 3-4 friends that keep in contact.. to me a friend or someone who cares, keeps in regular contact.. people that dont care, dont keep in contact - simple. I dont hate anyone.. right now I am annoyed with a few things, but I could never hate anyone or want to hurt them.. I feel sad because I dont understand why people do this - I mean appear and then disappear.. I cant cope with it really, I hate to say goodbye..

I have high expectations about how people should treat each other and they are usually disappointed..

I have spent the last 5 years writing job applications.. I am kind of tired of it... I actually think it is a hilarious joke now.. I spend so much energy writing these things then they just get thrown in the bin.. its incredibly funny !!!... I did very well at Uni!!! I got distinctions!! This is beyond a laugh.. I have a sneaking suspician my applications get used to write up new policies..I dont put as much effort in any more.. I have started to add things which say - "I would be happy to provide my ideas and advice on this subject for work in the context of this position".. which is as good as saying - piss off!, you cant have my ideas unless you give me a damm job!

... I have girlfriends that have similar difficulty.. I think I would probably be a much more interesting candidate if I had a busier social life.. ironic though, I cant afford a social life so I am caught in a merry go round of isolation, applications and rejection letters.. I am starting to think I should complain to someone about this.. surely there is a human rights group out there who would help me!!

I have some amazing ideas though..its kind of cool actually.. I can think of a solution to just about anything.. you give me the parameters, I think it over, come back - I have solutions, or I have solutions on the spot.. I dont know why this is.. perhaps it is because I dont get out much, dont have a tv.. something like that.. anyway, because I am not socially connected my ideas get snapped up or swept under the carpet.. I dont mind.. the people that are ripping me off will go to bed at night thinking they are so good, and that their job is safe for the next 50 years, but they will have to live with the guilt that they ripped me off and that they dont have an original thought in their brain.. I guess I should feel happy that I am contributing sooo much to the world even though I am considered to be sooo worthless.

... Something you will always notice about me and this blog - I can be extreme.. either extremely positive or extremely negative.. I try to maintain a balance and realistic perspective - obviously one in which there is always hope for the future..

... thank you for listening - bless you all

... Have a great day

... and come back soon!!

new entry

Mood: levelling
Listening to: silence

Hello - here is a new entry.. not that it can replace the old one... it is an addition.

I have been writing about a mysterious person who will remain nameless since they know who they are... I am very grateful for their influence, one day perhaps, we may meet again and even exchange phone numbers.. or we may never meet and the whole story will remain a romantic daydream to be part of a romance novel collecting dust in an English homestay.. it would make a good sci fi.

Right now I am busy sorting things out.. I never realised I had so much to sort out actually!! (and here is a tip for anyone who has baggage... take time out!!!) I have got so much more together from getting away from people.. I didnt have a telephone for 4 years!!, I stopped calling my friends and family, and stopped asking for advice, I just decided, its time to break free and I have!!!.

...in this space I dont need anyone's help, I dont rely on anyone for anything, I dont need anyone to give me any emotional support or guidance or reassurance.. I dont need love or a lover..I am happy to wait and will probably be able to find the right person, under the right conditions...etc etc.. I am expecting to be very happy with that, but even if I dont, I will be ok..

I have more confidence in my decisions, myself, my beliefs.. and I found out I had the most incredible strength too.. while everyone else is totally obsessed with how many people they know, who has a nice car, nice hair, nice friends, who went to harvard and who is marrying who... I learnt how to get by with just me!!! I realise now, I could probably handle anything on my own and under my own steam.. In this space I really get things done too!!! I have done heaps in fact its great.. I meditate, dance, sing, write.. I have written loads of stuff and figured out heaps of things too..

I became my own personal manager and mother providing nurturing when I couldnt find it in the outside world..or in the right amount / form.. I have totally lifted the boundary of what I feel about myself.. no way would I let anyone treat me badly, I wont take any crap any more.. I am comfortable in the level of self-respect I have developed..I am not up myself, I just decided I should look after myself better.. I am protecting myself, looking after myself.. its really pretty cool... I dont want to be a people pleaser again.. far out stuff that!!
