ode to the little man...

Ode to the little man…

I just had a wonderful conversation with one of my closest/newest/most in tune friends. You know that there are a few things I may or may have not mentioned… the way the world works is not logical… the time which we spend on the planet is limited, and there are only a handful of moments that truly defines our lives… I want those moments to be innumerable… and not qualified… As those of who can guess about the real meaning of time and the real meaning of healing… Through sharing and through transparency come love and sacrifice, (actually one in the same)… Key points that I want to mention in no particular order (which may or may not have been mentioned in this one particular convo. are):

1. We talked about how a famous comedian stated, “Life is Amazing, but Nobody is Happy”… isn’t it so strange how good we have it, yet continue to whine/complain/bitch/moan/blame???
2. I have issues with the fact that we can be the bestest of friends, as long as we attend/study at/ study at/work at the same church/school/university/company… as soon as our environment changes… we are lost…
3. “I have never felt short”… (the person who said this is ‘technically shorter than the average adult’, yet full of life and realizes “short” is a sense of inferiority or incompleteness, and does not comply to that notion)
4. Why do I feel a lot like the torment and punishment of Tyler Clementi is never forgettable? 9-11-2001 will forever live in our hearts and memories… but will Tyler’s 9-22-2010 passing be memorialized?
5. What does it mean to be “good enough”… I honestly believe that too many Asian-American adolescents commit identity suicide to placate their parents.

You know it wouldn't be enough to just state some random ass facts without the BOTTOM LINE... the take away message here is think whatever you want to think, be positive, be confident, be constructive, be happy... HAPPINESS IS A CHOICE! Too many of those around us are playing the "compare me to the world" game... it's utter nonsense... Talk it out, and rejoice in regards to the uniqueness of your life... Be one, be different, be BODACIOUS!

peace and a big hug to all,
