I Always Want What I Can't Have

There Is No Spoon (Full Of Sugar)

By: ShakespeareSonnet116
Written on February 5th, 2013
Nothing is so uncomfortable as the truth.

I muse on this whilst again facing the possibility that I may indeed be the sole architect of this my current predicament. "They" call that enlightenment. I call it poor taste.

I have long been of the opinion that truth can be toxic in its purest form & should more often than not be preceded by a healthy dose of anaesthetic...

This pearl of wisdom forgotten, slipped my mind somehow. I imagined you able to hear. Able to understand that to me the world is seldom in solid values of black & white.

...How wrong I was.







I just found this. Written exactly a year ago to the day.

How notable that here we are again. 365 days & these words fit like a glove.

    Wow. I felt that. What a way you have, putting your feelings into words. I often wish to give more away than I can.

      True though. You are welcome. I appreciate your vulnerability like you wouldn't believe. Helps me to examine my own.

      I always thought I was good at hiding vulnerability. Ep has taught me otherwise. :)

    The trick is to know when you've administered enough anesthetic.

    Got lost in the prose that was beautifully constructed, but you can think of it like this--truth can also be a fiction, I mean denial makes that all possible

    Loved reading it

      well illusions take place when you start looking at it... i was told that in some cultures thats basically common sense and quantum physics is catching up to it....

    One of the depressing things about this site is finding old stories about personal problems that you've not managed to deal with in the interim.

    I came to terms long ago with the fact that I'm the architect of everything wrong with my life. I just haven't done anything about it.

      I didn't find it here, but amongst other writing. I wouldn't posted it last year but the wind changed... Perhaps tornado is a better word actually.

    We are who we are the good and the bad. We might fake it for a while but at the end of the day we end up as ourselves ... as it should be ... the good and the bad.

    We humans huh? If the truth should come with anaesthetic then we need to get on to a better loop I guess. Great post, very concise but full of meaning.

    Hm... is this something you come upwith after musing with perceptions? There is no such thing as black and white until we set our eyes on the picture?

    Maybe no spoonful of sugar. But what about brownies? Surely they can make things a little better?

    Love you! xx

    our path may seem to be on a redundant cicular motion,
    but the circle center itself is moving, in a slow linear progression...

    It is frustrating when we repeat past errors in judgement and end up right where we were in the past. I know this all too well. I hope you find that healing that you need from whatever it is.

      I'm on another look, so I understand. Kinda like being in a cage one one of those wheels, going round and round and ending up at the same place.

      Not quite glg. It's like I've flicked a switch in my mind or something. Like I've compartmentalised myself to within an inch of my life... It's hard to explain perhaps. :)
