that's what this life is about right?
everybody wants to just get theirs no matter what happens or who we hurt right...
now i don't believe that i believe that you can make things happen and get yours in this life without ripping someone else to shreds...i don't know maybe that's just me...
what is it about this life that makes us just want to dive in and "get ours" no matter what? i think we have just been programed to always go for ours no matter what we are told to go to college get a master's get a job and work hard but no one really tells you about the heemin and haaing you gotta deal with to work hard everyday...
life can definitely be harder than you thought, but isn't it also beautiful...you know the beautiful struggle...
and isn't "getting yours" the total opposite of what you are supposed to do in love...aren't you supposed to be open to allowing yourself to be vulnerable and open to the person allow your heart to be able and open to someone else...
but we have all been taught to get ours...that doesn't really work when it comes to love and it isn't going to help build any type of healthy relationship...but how do you know that the other person doesn't have the whole "get yours" attitude either...
yea i know complicated...especially when you think about young adults in their late 20s early 30s that's when you grinding out of your mind trying to establish yourself set your career path up and all that stuff...and then you start to think about okay maybe i might want to settle down...and so now you gotta take all the independence that you have become accustom to and allow yourself to be vulnerable enough to get someone...just getting to know someone and allowing them to get to know you is allowing yourself to be vulnerable...total opposite of the "get yours" attitude...
i do know that keeping your standards HIGH and not settling is the ONLY option but isn't that still getting yours or is that just you keeping yourself protected....
but don't you have to protect yourself? don't you have to remain guarded...don't you have to protect you at all times....yea i don't have any answers just brain dumping per usual...

The "get yours" attitude took a left turn in Albuquerque. Folk have forgotten the true meaning of "getting yours" by thinking it's okay to be devisive, harmful, rude, or whatever adjective one can chose. I think it's offensive when "getting yours" means causing another harm/hurt. That's so not getting yours; it's being an a-hole and malicious pure and simple.
We've simply become victims of the instant need gratification, which runs prevalent in society today. It's the any means necessary taken out of context.
Sis, I so feel you on this one.
love to live; live to love!
