Interpersonal relationships

Ive often had it said on this blog that I'm courageos, brave. And I've said, no, I'm not. I've finally realized that the reason people are saying this is because they believe that the people I'm talking about actually READ this blog.
Nup, they don't. Sure, if mum and Kman had a click around, little Kleo would have some uncomfortable questions to answer, some screaming matches to scream through. But they have their praise too - mum has 'Mum's gift' and Kman has 'a word on the way things are'. Both of these posts say how much these people mean to me and what they do for me.
And, truthfully, they know me, of course. They know Im abraisive and frustrating and dont thank the ones who love me the most as much as I should. I keep telling you Im a horror to live with - and they live with me. Remember that!
But the reason I feel I need to write on it is because my favourite thing of all is to examine people and the way they relate to one another. Keep in mind, this blog is the place where I vent and spew - if I come here and have a nice long bitch about them, you can be sure Ive actually been sweet as pie to them for the rest of the day. Its when I keep it inside entirely that we've got trouble. But really, I believe, you have to be honest with yourself, every second of every day.
A great man once said to me -
"You must be true to what is in your heart. People will get over disappiontments, its what life is all about, but you will never get over what is in your heart. You have to follow it, or you'll never forgive yourself"
Thanks Dad.
Ive lived my life by that creed ever since it was said to me. Always an emotional little person, this stuck. When happy, be ecstatic, when sad, be sad. When angry, be angry. BE WHO YOU ARE. Its all this changing for people and lying to people that leads to problems. Trying to think what other people might want of you - Fuck It! What do you want out of the situation? I know, thats a selfish view point, but honestly, you have to think of it in a different way.
If you got hit by a bus tomorrow, and you stood over your poor dead body, what would you be thinking? No doubt shit like - "Why did I quit smoking" "I wish Id cuddled my cat before I left" "I shouldnt have yelled at the kids" This is what you have to consider, every moment. Its your next life, and your afterlife, that are really going to matter, so -
Make this one count. Enjoy every second of it, when you can.
What will you regret not doing today, or doing?

For me, Im more worried about missing out on experiences - Id rather have a go at doing everything and fuck it right up then hold back and do nothing!
Life is to be experienced, so experience everything you can!

I live by something similar- I think that at the end of the day, you'll only have yourself to answer to. Okay, you might do someting to please someone else, but they won't be there forever, you'll have to live with what you've done so it's best to do things you can live with.

I never got to see as much of my Dad as Id like, but the time we did spend together was extremely valuable and had a massive effect on me.
Its so true, how you say, you only have yourself to answer to. Im not trying to say here - "Hey live for yourself!" But, merely consider yourself. If someone gets in your way, you can apologise, or make it up to them, but you shouldnt let yourself miss out or have regrets.
Thanks for stoppin by!
