Reflections.......

Supposedly In Greek mythology


Narcissus (Narkissos)
was this a-hole who fell in love with his

own reflection

He just walked past a lake one day, saw himself
And said

Hey

I love this guy looking back at me
as a matter of fact I love him so much that

I’ll just stay here and look at him forever….

But what
Narcissus didn’t realize was that

What he saw was

a self projected image
of himself

it wasn’t really his

TRUE

reflection

and he stayed there engrossed so much with
Loving himself
That he missed out
on life

And



DIED…..



I know people like that…..
and
It unnerves me to deal with them….

Walking around thinking that the world
revolves around

them

Spending a profuse amount of time looking at
The flaws of others and not
checking their own

morals and values



holding grudges and vendettas
and feeling like they are too perfect to make mistakes



I don’t understand that…



I think life is about lessons
and sometimes

one of the greatest lessons is learning that

we aren’t perfect



I cant imagine going through life

Never taking the time to

Self reflect

Never coming to terms that some of the things in your past
happened

not because of someone else
but because of

YOU….

I know people that to this day


Refuse

to self evaluate

 I mean to get them to take any responsibility for their behavior
is like moving mountains.....


Listen
Nobody wants to say

“I’m wrong”

“I made poor decisions”

but there is a peace that comes from that

I had a “friend” that I know
that
I
wasn’t the best person to
she constantly tried to stay in touch with me
kept emailing
kept calling

and I never returned her calls

because to be quite honest it could be a little
depressing to talk to her

BUT

When I add it all up and look back
she was a good friend to me

So I had to admit that the way I went about
“Distancing” myself

was wrong…..
I didn't like it, but it needed to be done


Sometimes you just have to step
back
and look at the entire
equation of a situation
because constantly convincing yourself that you

are

righteous
and only seeing the reflection of yourself that

you want to see
will leave you in a miserable place

I hope a person I know stumbles
across this blog

Because

honey you are wrong
you’ve done wrong things to people

And

the truth is.. you've NEVER
taken responsibility for your shortcomings

Being angry
because you were found out
and completely omitting

your faults and flaws in all of this

makes you EXTREMELY
 weak

A true testament to STRENGTH
starts when you can admit that you are not

faultless

I don’t care how great you look on paper
And what

YOU THINK

people perceive you as
the truth is



you are a narcissist
and its time for you get up from the lake

and

stop looking at
A reflection

that really isn’t yours….

Because like Narcissus
you are missing out on true happiness
and
though you are physically alive
regardless as to whether you realize it or not

parts of your character

are

dying…

I love yall, and I too have a hard time admitting I'm wrong
but its
NECESSARY

necessay for
for happiness

necessary
for life

and necessary
in order to say
that you are GROWN

LOVE YALL

NO..
really I do.....
