You So Crazy!

"all i know is that I don't know anything", or something like that is the Socrates quote. As I grow older I long for wisdom but what has occurred is that I realize that I know very little. This augments my appetite for learning and adds a spirit of humility to my personality. I have learned so much working with the mentally ill and I let my clients know this every chance I get. There is a thin line between sanity and the insane. I have teetered at edge of that line and have seen many do the same. I'm not crazy, nope you're a crazy b*tch, uh-uh not I -- uuuuuuuu. My voices are hearing voices...they are saying.... why do you wait so long to recognize the qualities of your significant other? why do you want to hide and keep secret how much you are feeling someone else? why do people present themselves to be something that they are not and actually think that your true self will not eventually come through? why do people degrade and disrespect eachother when what is really going on is that they hate the person they are? why do we hold on to past hurts and don't seek to heal from these injuries?...as if holding on to the hurt will serve any purpose at all, let it go! My Mom at the age of 6 was given away by her Dad to a wealthy family and 63 years later she continues to suffer from this injustice. who pays for this? those closest to her and most of all it doesn't allow her to be free. what must we do to be free? I want to be free! Barbara, a part-time nurse who came to work with me taught me many things. Among them was to feel happy with being with me. She said I should do things I enjoy by myself and pay close attention to my feelings. Am I happy with the person I am? Can I tolerate being alone? She told me that if I can be happy with being by myself then I am ready to invite someone into my life. Taking time out for me would make me a better person. I realized while doing this that taking time for me made me feel that I didn't have to look for someone to complete me (ala Jerry Mcguire). Damn it, I'm a whole and therefore what I'm really looking for is someone to compliment me. My voices are hearing voices and I can't contain them, so I blog. What do you do to be free?
