What does it mean to be afraid. Is it fear based logic or just some emotional distress of an absent cause. I call it conformity.

As do - stop - then do - run, that is the kind of adrenaline one might find dense, so dense, it fills the air in a making of lighter weight to carry as if gravity reversed itself, only, to reduce our sense of less application of necessary force. That redundant, because, if force travelled upward without any kind of gravity would defy the laws of a physical nature, the laws of gravity would not allow for such disobedience. This provides a clear example, of the Newton provision to gravity, that all such force cannot travel upward without a return to it's original frame of conjecture.
This is what I call the skill in seeking truth (the root of finding wisdom) and what is perception to everything you observe (thinking).

If you would try climbing a tree for the first time it is an attempt much similar to an impossible task inappropriate of living life's greatest adventure. The question is not to do with whether the adventure happens, but if the climb is worthwhile. That is man's greater dilemma.

I never plan on what I write. This is one of those "into the moment" type of things. . . banged it out in 20min but thought if you would care read it why not freely give it to an audience. I'm always experimenting with language because language is fascinating to me. Believe it or not - my entire thought process was to capture something that would make the reader not only think - but think emotionally. (Maybe even a tear shed. . .)
It is a challenge to write - but even more curious is the process I go through to get there. I feel at peace with my style and found the voice I use. It is an exercise in romanticism with a Canadian flare, I would only imagine.
The flight of my imagination has taken hold of me. This is my tribute to the readers.
This entry just happened because I came across a skunk dead on the road today. I felt hopeless inside. I felt for the animal even though the spark had clearly met its end and left its body. I just saw the carcass and it made me revolt, so I know it is a sign that makes me express it creatively as I try to. My attempt may be futile - but it is inspired nonetheless.
To be a writer - you MUST be your own worst critic, because you cannot imagine who your audience IS or MAY NOT BE - ever. If you start to write as a creative endeavor - the practice is that you write and write and write, until it becomes you. You are your own critic because you don't wait nor depend on getting rich quick by someone else "DISCOVERING YOU." That is all such total corporate bullshit.
I can write. That's all I know.
I write as though anonymously thinking no one will ever be reading what I have to say, but even if they do or they don't - the end result in my mind is the same. That is my secret.

Titled: The skunk
When I was ten.
I met a skunk.
This animal I connected with.
The skunk has since died.
I saw that same skunk today, again.
Saw the skunk lay dead on the road.
Splattered road kill.
And all that I could think.
Was how sad I was.
It made me sad to see my friend there on the road.
With the foul odor. . . emanating.
This unmistakable odor filled the air across that murder scene.
And as I drove by to see my friend, the dead animal . . .
spoke nothing. Never did anything to deserve this fate.
And as I reminisce. . .
like a magic bullet - invisible only to those who could not truly see.
I wish that they could have my special ability -
to see my skunk friend,
having given me the keys to life.
A life that I should feel empowered by my own volition.
My volition to make others see and not be seen. Is such a lie -
not the same rules followed by that game of hide-and-seek children play?
I find myself so utterly complete, now.
That the skunk is spreading that awful aroma to remind us how shallow we are.
The skunk was probably just trying to find its way to nowhere.
Because that is nature's destination - the place that has no real name
Something like the mother's womb. (The skunk never a name was given.)
But this game shows us how to defeat ourselves.
The hide-and-seek we look to find our way home without knowing,
where or how the direction takes us,
because that cold cold air passage that travels throughout time.
Is it real or what is not.
We find our way. . . out to the middle of nowhere.
To find the mother's womb.
Even that skunk had a name.
I just forgot to name it.
(end.)

I've been around the sun many many moons and in saying this it reminds me of many many things. The duplicity of myself throughout time brings me to a realization. That no matter how much I've changed it doesn't mean I've abandoned the past. It is everything I've come to accomplish reflects to those that wanted what's best for me in my life. I am a greater person because of it. I am better able to make it my future. My ability to create what I want transcends all this. I think that makes sense to me.
I question myself as an adult far worse than I did as a minor. Does this mean I won or lost.
I dedicate this to all men and women. Especially those that think they know I am NOT capable- how true my emotions can be disproving how critics shallow of their own actions actually are.
When it comes to confidence, perhaps the difference being adulated, recycled, there's a winner take all attitude, which some find most rewarding? I had only insufficient amount of time to recall from memory, It became a clear moment, that pedestal wore a crack in the design.
This makes sense. Critics without the limits of their imaginative output need not apply.
The argument that "We can't be the only living entities" is incomplete. At best we are alone in universe. That is what we would rather deny.
There is nothing wrong with misrepresenting an argument that never had a chance. (i.e. 'we are not alone')
There is only a part of us that understands this.
Ultimately, true intelligence requires us to care for what we do have the capacity to change.

This makes total sense to me. I Will make this relatively brief. I have ADHD and I am clinically diagnosed (not self diagnosed). My point is that everything Dr. Barkley said is the truth. It's true on a purely empirical level strictly through observation of the ADHD brain and how it operates. The single most effective thing I have done for myself is to ascertain what objective my feelings (no matter how intense they are) I am experiencing. I tie the words objective together with feelings to equalize what is the source. To identify it and what triggers my emotion. Therefore ultimately the answer is to lead with intent. My intention is a powerful source for what my nature acts. And it is in this nature that the brain regulates itself impulsively. What I do need is to say here that depression affected me personally and to get through the stages in my life that involved identifying it. The cause of depression may be attributed to being unaware of how ADHD and my emotional self DID NOT regulate.
Conclusion:
With the proper tools and channels - I got though what seemed to be perilous in my advanced stages of ADHD. What I mean to say is that I have advanced ADHD in that I was able to see the causes that relate to my ADHD brain and how unique it is. I have taken anti depressants (to deal with depression) but it is not something I can say attributes to any sort of solution. Solutions come through making the effort to regulate and order to regulate is a recalibration of myself. Recalibration being I although use anti depressants (medication) is not a miracle drug. The cure is not in drugging yourself. The purpose of using medication is to help yourself use resources that help you learn what coping mechanisms you must apply.
Note: I have taken Concerta (ADHD specific drug) for a period of about 2yrs. It helps my attention/focus and aids in my regulation of behavior.
When you think of regulation = think of a new manner of which you employ your agency. Your behavior is a reflection. As a reflection of what you do is your mirror in the world. TO the world you do NOT have to mistake regulation for "hiding" your (ADHD from "the world"). I repeat: do not confuse regulation as some form of "hiding ADHD" so the world can't see it.
ADHD is a gift. Just always - always remember that.

For those who are ignorant that practice it (. . .do not generally agree on anything -) so instead, they speak as though to ask if being unsuccessful is trademark of another persons failure. Once the skill to eliminate that from distinction is acquired through a mental process, you have found not only wisdom, but the greatest intent the will can imagine is infinite.
I Don't know this to be apriori to anything I've ever written, as important as this stated above.^ It is a critical test to intervene with decision making abilities. I detect it on a continual level of personal growth.
===============
More specifically, almost as foolishly, people actually rather not think but believe bigamy is their best resort.
Why resort the silliness of sarcasm, to observation of the kind choice's are made, that follows your report of it.
I am not angry enough about my past to admit it as time permits I do and so I act to dismiss myself out of it meaninglessly.
So it's safe to say my past is a sad fate of bewilderment. It has lead me here to nowhere. And yet I find satire in my sad criticism of it.
I fast-forward my presence of mind entirely. And I look right through my past as some form of trickery and deceit played on me.

The book is out on me.
What is it about this face. Not even I know. I am just happy to be who I am and what is mine (I openly think) about how awesome life can be. So I feel my way through things. "Feeling is" what should be, one's first principle in life. What do I mean by feeling? It means to be so sure of yourself as honesty is never a question of self doubt. That is not denial of a psychological fact. It is a feeling that bestows me, until I get to that place of courage in my sense own of it. Courage that is powerful in the way god made me.
Maybe the hole in my heart
When I told a friend of mine today that I don't accept if my intentions are "toyed" with on no uncertain terms, and they show their true colors. I am glad to find out in the end - they are nothing worth the time it took to get to know them. All I said: was that I refuse to be underestimated (paraphrased) and he didn't want to hear me say it. For whatever reason. Moral consideration is a two way street but it's not how everyone runs the race.
I would like to think my intentions are correct insofar I have a sensual lasting flavor that consent is real and not a participation medal.

"I am a majority share holder in my own right. To keep this short, I have an affinity to reason, I try not to give away too much of myself. It is a matter of principle, a matter of energy, a focus of my own legitimacy. Somewhere between thought I wonder where to go next but what might that answer be might it make me become."

Purpose is to live
your life as if nature
intended. To go in
the way which leads
you into a direction of bliss.
I trace signs only sure that they follow patterns.
And those patters are what is my memory.
In memory I begin to sing aloud.
(But only within the walls of my mind. . .)
As the echo of my voice echoes from the inside-out.
I am - casualty to everything I've ever dreamed,
it comes trough the sound,
if - in place of my personal thoughts.
It here,
I've decided not to talk about anything.
The Symbols.
All the Words.
Many things are these.
Imagine, this proclivity I've lost for thinking.
No one else can hear?
The sound of a voice if it were lost in time -
is more a promise to make memorable.
Memorable the voices we make -
without it, I don't know a greater way of putting things.
Like if my voice were meant to make a difference.
I rather feel fully the information you feed me.
Because when I take the voice from within (me).
That voice will never be forgot.
