What Does it All Mean?

The essence of being human...what does that really mean? I wanted to name this blog "The Torture of Being Human", but thought the word "torture" might not go over so well. Rather dramatic....someone might not get what it is I am trying to say. What I am trying to say is this; we all have many components that make up who we are, positives/negatives/happiness/regrets. No matter how outgoing, timid, shy, etc. that you are we are the same at the core. Pretty much anyway. Words are coming out of your mouth and at the same time inside the voice says "would you just shut up" or you decide to eat something and the voice says "what, again, you said you wouldn't eat and here we go, another day lost to diet failure".

Great example, this may not be the best start since it's taking me twice as long to set up this intro!

Future chapters/entries:


  • It's when you try and explain something to someone else and it takes 10 sentences longer than it should have.....

  • It's thinking about losing weight, exercising, eat this/don't eat that each and every DAY!

  • It's being a clutz and tripping over something, on a fairly regular basis.

  • It's not saying what you mean.

  • It's not being able to say no.

  • It's being afraid to try something new

  • It's being unable to let go

  • It's caring enough to do things for other people

  • It's being satisfied with what you have (material)

  • It's being satisfied with what you have achieved (nonmaterial)

  • It's being able to take a chance no matter what the consequence or outcome

  • It's not feeling young and not feeling old

  • It's deciding whether or not to have children or get married

  • It's the love you have for others, including pets

  • It's being ambivalent about religion and what happens when we die

  • It's worrying about everything, even things you don't need to worry about

  • It's concern for the environment

  • It's concern about where you live

  • It's concern about socioeconomic issues

  • TBD
