Tomorrow will soon be yesterday,and yesterday was once tomorrow.But what about today?Is it important? Do we constantly obsess over everything but the present?If the memories are what hurt then why do we hold on to them?
If the present is the most enjoyable then why does it go by so quickly?
Why do the best things in life seem unreachable?And why do the worst things seem to fall into your lap? But most importantly,why do we think these things?
Seeing is believing for most people,and if they see it happen to them,they will believe it for the rest of their lives and think nothing different of it. But why can't we just believe that things just happen,no matter what the immediate reaction is? In the end,no matter how good or bad,it always turns out for the best:
We learn. We learn about life.We learn lessons.We learn reasons.
We learn answers.And most importantly,we learn feelings.Our feelings.After all,what are we without feelings? One feeling everyone feels is fear.It is the least discussed emotion between humans.
Why? People fear it. Ironic? Yes.But why do we fear fear?
Most people fear that they will be teased or mistreated because what they feel could be different than another's.But is teasing and mistreating what they really fear?Could it be that they fear they could actually make an impact on someone's life?
Or maybe even because they know they can rub off on that person and they would no longer be an individual?.
An example of this could be a phobia.Let's say someone is scared of heights and they won't tell anyone. It could possibly be because they fear if they tell another person,they could rub off on them,or even find out that the other person feels the same way. But they could face their fears together,and learn:They can learn about their friendship.
As quoted from Alanis Morrisette,"...you live,you learn,you love,you learn,you try,you learn,you lose,you learn.....".
That song "You Learn" always had an impact on me.I made so much sense that one could not ignore it.
Tomorrow will soon be yesterday,and yesterday was once tomorrow. What makes us think about this is past experiences and up coming experiences. Why? The fact of the matter is......we fear it.I think it is time that mankind got over their fear of the present and actually learn something.
Don't you????

Hey Jay!
Been a while.
Indeed fear is very limiting.
Too bad you couldnt go on in the idols thing.Don't stop dreaming tho.
Hmmmmm....fear is natural...
I really think no body never fears.Its just an internal feeling that loosens our ability.
I have my fears but certain times fear is for a good reason. I fear buggy Jumping because i dont like the feeling of flying in an empty space without any support...
Now is i jump and i freak out?...or faint or something like that, i think my fear would have have done me a favour..
We can all overcome fear but it depends on a person. We all fear differently and we shouldnt blame each other for their fears...
I wouldnt fear today, for today is actually here and I can deal with it or walk away. I'm afraid of yesterday to be exact. I'm afraid I didnt...etc etc. Kind of back tracks me,
Tommorow will be tomorrow, will cross and burn that bridge if I have to... shrugs.. thats just me.
Hmm...this got me thinking...
How are you?
The best part of this for me was when you wrote these words...
"Most people fear that they will be teased or mistreated because what they feel could be different than another's. But is teasing and mistreating what they really fear? Could it be that they fear they could actually make an impact on someone's life?"
Very deep and intuitive thoughts. Learning for today could be a risk that is worth the process!!!! Taking a dive at your passion and the truth abt "YOU" brings a wonderful feeling.
hey girl,
What is going on with you?? I hope you are doing okay.
You ask very valid questions. Fear is very limiting. Sometimes, you just have to close your eyes and jump!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Jay babe don spoil oh...see the kind of pic u have there...kai this girl..we need to take you to church!!!!

To be fearless is very brave, but not sure if that would describe me. I like to take chances...... sometimes, but don't really care about sharing feelings.
