Lesley's Views

I am.... complexity at its simplest and confusion at its clearest. I make fools of the intelligent and stoop to the level of the fool.
Invariably I push to be understood in a way that may seem abrasive or even silly at times. My heart is in the right place but my brain may not choose to follow...
I am.... ME!

I wonder?

People always say trust God when you talk about your problems but do they really mean that? Do they trust him? Or sis it a simple ploy to shut you up?!

What the devil was I thinking?! I’m never gonna be good enough at this will I? Might as well quit whil i’m ahead.

Sleepless Nights

You’re secretive, and you do and say things that you don’t mean. You feed me lies and then wonder when I don’t reply to questions that you think I need to answer. I’ve fallen over and over and I’ve made the mistake 
The mistake of not taking back what’s mine but giving more until I have nothing left and then giving again. I’m about to break…
I’ve caused through my negligence, self-inflicting and daily heartbreak and yet we smile and laugh and play.
You’ll never know what’s in my heart unless you see what I cannot say,
And yet, it matters not to you,
I’m just another pawn in your game.
A day will come when I won’t care, my thoughts, my views , my mind to share.
I won’t move or breathe your name, your face, your actions, your pain.
It will all become a memory, then fade like a wickered candle in the wind.
And then we’ll see, we’ll really see, if what I said, did I truly mean.

Perfectionism (again!)

Some more good tips on how to break the perfectionism/procrastination cycle:

PS- kind of a watershed moment when I read the author’s comment about how perfectionism thrives in isolation.  Tis true.  We hide our unrealistic expectations from others because … well, we don’t want to be told they’re unrealistic.  But that might be a key to breaking the logjam (so to speak).

If you make people laugh or cry about little black marks on sheets of white paper, what is that but a practical joke? All the great story lines are great practical jokes that people fall for over and over again.

“All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.” - T.E. Lawrence
