This was such a long winded BLOG [ if you guys have ever seen me type you'd know why ] that it just wouldn't make sense not to post it here . It was initially intended for Little Bird but i've since decided why not share with the rest ?
hope you don't mind , my li'l baby sis !
Young Lady , i feel for you truly .. and understand this is not the best understood [ no pun intended ] career choice in the world , all the more reason for you to not just " don't give up " .. so cliche ... but Do EXTREMELY WELL !
Doing well would give em the headsup that this is not just a career that " if you can then very good " this is the career where " you must force yourself to can then UNBELIEVABLE !"
My mommy used to say to me , back in 2003 " well , better than nothin " and or " just gain some experience , i'll eventually open a 7/11 for you , i guess " and most recently "how come other people manager , you also manager but you like so poor ?" when i took a loan from her .
Hahahahaha !!! To which point i replied "i quit now restart my Garang kuni [ rag and bones ] k mommy ? " then she stopped and " sayanged" me later that night with soup .
Gotta understand there's a flaw in the teachings aquired from our parents' own parents .. not nagging/sniding/ being sarcastic/injecting negative remarks/ running my child's face into the mud equals me not doing a good job by keeping my child down to earth and/or REALISTIC ?
But parents dearest ... What if i'm SICK of being REALISTiC , average or ACTUALLY NOT BAD ? [ What the HELL does that phrase mean anyways ??!! NOT bad doesn't mean GOOD... or am i missin somethin here ?]
What if MEDIOCRE terrifies me ? What if earning just enough or EVEN slightly more than enough keeps me awake at night ?What if i feel i should , i could , be worthy of so much more ?
What if i don't wanna be down to earth no mo' ?
What if all i've ever wanted since i was a child was to soar ?
Just as Icarius did ? and if soarin too close to the sun might melt my filmsy wings made of candlewax and i'd quite possibly crash and burn ? But even if that was my Destiny so be it .
At least for that moment in time i'd have tasted Heaven .
however brief and foolish it might seem to some ... it would have lasted an eternity for me and was what my Life's work has been towards .. Right from the very moment i smiled at the toddler in the same play pen sitting next to me and offered her a handfull of sand to which she made her mission to eat ... Having yet to acquire the powers of speech that these days allows me to save/help my loved ones [ that's you tWo , btw ! ... then wing 3 , alan10 and so on and so forth ... ] ...
In actual fact all i wanted to say at that tender age to her was , hey baby , this is sand , DON'T eat k ? [ UNorthodox pickup line i know , but hadta start someplace and sometime right ?...... RIGHT???] and look on eyes wide open , jaws dropped to ground .. salivating , no less .. in Bewilderment , Disbelief as she decided to makan sutra .
Were you even listening ???!!
With age and wisdom comes the revelation that MOST if not all the people we come across often hear us ... but don't listen . Look at the work we do , but SEE NOTHING .
WE can take it on ourselves then , to OPEN their eyes ... UNCOVER those tightly clasped ears for them .. EVEN if they're our parents .
But there's a song however , titled [ in the living years ] i think ... and in it there's an especially meaningful verse .. see if you can find it ... old song ... they SELDOM write songs like these anymo' . Whoever finds it gets a one to one lunch with me , contest open to all ' cept wing , alan , john , boss , samsambutdifferent , kristy,stephen ,wingy, hector , phyllis , esther lauren phew ! what a mouthful !! and oh ya !
li'l bOird too . O_o
Esther IS pretty impressive almost all the time ... ALMOST because sometimes ... i half suspect she chooses not to be .. All about choices , i guess .
hor E E ? he he he he he ... ~^
