Keep It Sybil

We have all, at some point, been guilty of just looking at someone and judging them.  There is an adage that doesn't seem to apply much nowadays, about not judging a book by its cover. That simply means things aren't always the way they look.  The fact that this no longer applies is a dangerous thing.   Especially for women. We scroll all of our social media platforms with the purpose of judging.  Now let me say that a judgement doesn't only mean negativity put can also be positive.   As we scroll we are making up on our heads that this person is beautiful,  that person is a mess,  you covet a lifestyle or are jealous of what you are judging on a picture.  Once we have made the judgement we mostly either feel proud of ourselves or badly for ourselves.  Herein lies the danger. If we have scrolled and scrolled and then tell ourselves how much better we are than a majority of those people we judged then we have set ourselves up....

I have a mission in life.  It was given to me by my God and I have begun to accept that I can no longer run from it.  Accepting that thing is hard.  Being true to who I am supposed to be is a painful journey; well at least mentally,  emotionally and spiritually. I haven't by any stretch of the imagination led a particularly interesting life. Just like many other people,  I have done some good and I have done some bad. I haven't always been proud of my actions. In fact, I used to have a terrible temper and if I felt I or a family member was being wronged I could flip very quickly. When my dad was angry he was in control but his usually light colored eyes would turn dark and you would feel a chill.  I like imagine that I would evoke that same appearance when angered. Alas, it's probably not true given the fact that I am barely able to raise my voice through yelling. I say that I am more calm in my 40's than my 20's. Don't test me though. That being said,...
