Advice is a beautiful, strange thing <3
10 years ago
General
For as long as I can remember, people have always come to me for advice. A lot of my friends and others close to me have told me that they feel as though I'm one of the few people they can turn to for help on problems.
~I've never been able to understand this. I thought I did at one time, but now I'm not so sure. I'm guessing that people must think I can be trusted with their insecurities or private troubles they want help on, or maybe it's that they think I may have all of the answers. I've always felt that any secrets you tell me are not mine to tell, so you won't ever hear me telling your secrets or troubles you come to me with.
But I don't have all of the answers if you're looking for them. I look over my life, the friends I've had, and the troubles I've been through, and I honestly just toss my hands up in the air and shrug while saying, "Where the hell am I? :|" And then I just scratch my head, looking around at my problems and life choices, hair a bit knappy because I forgot to brush it, and seeing a photomosaic puzzle with 1,000 pieces.
I'm always asking myself, "Do I come off as a confident, knowledgeable person? Someone that knows how to deal with life."
I'd like to be that type of person, but I can't say that's who I am, at least not 100% of the time.
I'm constantly looking at myself, and despite what other people may see or think, I see a clumsy, random, inconsistent, oblivious, indecisive, confused, and unconventional wolf, and as much as this may flip the entire atmpsphere of where I'm going with all of this, I gotta love who I see. It's different, it's strange, IT'S CLEAN! (Repo! thought :P) it's interesting, and it leads to awesome adventures when I'm daring enough to do what I want. Granted, I have to find out how to not be awkward -and I'm doing my best to work on that >3>-. AAAANNND I've been a sloth-like bum for several years, hesitating to do anything I've wanted. But I've been slowly working out of that. Ultimately, I'm still far from perfect, while if anything, I'm getting farther away from it--especially after learning to embrace my quirks.
I'm a dork! \o3o/ I marf and love cheesy puns. I love to play games I'm not good at. And try to be good at things I'm confused about and stare at with a blank face and mind. I know that people see me as a babbling awkward dork as I try to work with something I'm interested in and know nothing about, but I could care less for my own personal reasons; like how I'm getting farther than the other person who's standing back because they're scared of how they'll look like in front of others. And all I have to go on is my heart, which I've learned to tune down so that I'm not someone to become overly sensitive.
All of this emphasizes how I'm an imperfect person. I'll start from scratch if I have to, 100 times if needed! Each time gets better, and I've seen that from life. I only know as much as I've seen or been through myself or with others.
Sometimes you wish you had all the answers. You wish you knew the strategy that's needed, or how to organize everything you say or do precisely to work out for the best. It gets hard when you're scared of making the wrong choice, especially when you feel that the world is unforgiving with the mistakes you might make.
I feel the same way, and from one important thing I've learned to take from all of this, it's good to listen to those who are going through the same thing and telling you their best answer, because their empathy has a an experience just as good as anyone else's 'sure-fire' answers.
When people ask me for answers, there's no guarantee that what I'm telling them is right. It's only what I can figure out from listening to the one place I trust most, my heart.
And if you do come to me for advice, know that if anything, the answers come from a special place.
In the meantime, I'm just a dork wolf trying to find his own place in the world. Anyone that wants to join along, welcome! /.3./ I'm not sure where we're going, but that's half the magic of the journey. ;3
Oooohhhh heart, how I've neglected you lately. I'll be listening to you more carefully again soon. <3 You just wait.
Anywho, time to end this mutli-subject rant. Ciao!
