Being

The more distance you can put between intrusive thoughts from the groan up world and you, the better I feel handling this sense of being forever a child gets because while some things cannot be helped like working if you are capable of it, the more we try to act more like what other people want us to be, the more sadder and frustrated we become.

That's because in effect we take on a 24/7 acting role trying to play a person who we are not just to please them or make them feel more comfortable at the expense of our own comfort and mental wellbeing.

Sometimes you need to climb up the ladder to the Tree House, just to let the real authentic you out without thinking all the time, "Oh gawd what will they think" as you're jumping up and down with your stuffie or being more concerned about how they see your presentation rather than respecting you own style and for some too your identities too.

Finding yourself takes time and people can and do make mistakes along the way, but the best thing for all of us is to respect people as they themselves are no matter the journey and where it took them too.
