Studying

Learning when there is seemingly nothing to learn is a skill that can be learned. I have always been the type of person that would listen and watch. I would rarely speak to people I didn't know and this gave me the opportunity to study.

Studying the ways of people is an interesting thing to do. I have been doing it for so long that I can watch someone and pick up, through their actions, what they have going on in their minds about the situation they are in. It's also an interesting thing to do because when a person doesn't know they are being watched, they are less likely to be guarded. They will let their faces scrunch up if they are displeased or they will begin to fidget if they are uncomfortable, nervous or bored. These things are easy to spot when you know what you are looking for.

Some of the less obvious things I like to look for are the nonverbal interactions between couples. A couple will let you know what they have going on in the home by the things they don't say. While one of the people speak, if you watch the mate you can see how they feel about their mate. Did they roll their eyes or act as though they are not listening by doing something else? There is a disconnect in this relationship because they mate is not interested in anything their partner has to say. Now if the partner is looking at the other partner and they are engaged in the conversation then they are in a committed relationship. They are caring and connected with each other. This shows because they are interested enough to be involved in some way.

The way a person moves and touches another person is also an indication of what is going on in a persons mind. I have been doing this sort of thing for years and a lot of it is so that I can tell the story. I am always telling a story. I don't mind when other people study me either especially if they are willing to tell me what they came up with. I love to have insight into others and into my self. Learning in any capacity is a great thing.

Whitney already told you

 Today I just knew that I needed to write a post.  Sometimes I know what I am going to write before I start, and then other times, I'm just winging it. There are plenty of things on my mind and I still don't know what my topic of the day will be. That is until I know what it is going to be. I look at the people in my life every day.  No, not physically but logically and some of the time emotionally. I come to the same realization every time.  First off, there is no such thing as coincidence, in my opinion. I believe that the family you are born into is based on many things, but it is never a mistake.  When you meet your friends, lovers and others, it is for a divine reason.  All things work for the good.  Not some of the time; all of the time. Now let me be clear, two things can and are usually true at the same time.  You can have a happy life and feel joy while still feeling sad over certain situations. The reverse can also be true where in you f...

Cafe Bustelo with a little cream

 I don't even think there is a phrase that describes the feeling that I currently have about my life.  It has been approximately, a year and a half since I have last shared.  The truth is that I have barely even written anything beyond a text message in that time.  For a while I called it writer's block but now, I know that is not a true assessment. The truth is more emotion and far-reaching than that would connote. When last we spoke I believe I was legally ending the worse chapters of my life.  Now, this is not to say that some good times were not had in that more than decade of my life, but the bad times definitely outweighed the good ones.  The lessons were a multitude with nary a time to rest really.  I am good with the knowledge of this at this point.  There has to be bad in order to enjoy the good; the night must fall in order for the sun to rise; there would be no way to turn left if you didn't have the option of turning right.  You g...

True Confession!

I have a confession to make. It's funny because telling a secret or making a confession is a very hard thing yet once it's done that weight has been lifted and you feel a little lighter. That being said confession is just good for the soul. I know that the devil is trying his best to keep me from obtaining my destiny and this confession is getting ready to shame him because he is a liar and he will not kill or destroy me. I am taking back the power I gave him in this situation. I just had a birthday and I turned 36. I love when my birthday comes around. This year was no difference. Actually, it was a lot better than it has been in years. Partially because I spent my day getting to know a new person in my life but mostly because I have been getting to know myself. This is my real-life confession. I didn't begin to feel good about myself until I was in my 30's--I was around 32 actually. I had the most negative self-talk a person could have. My self-esteem and self-imag...
