Rhymer’s Reasons

by Rhymer Reisen

Rated: E · Book · LGBTQ+ · #2242935

It’s basically my brain vomiting through my fingertips. Bring a poncho. Splash zone…

I’m the kind of guy we all look at and unintentionally describe as “Oh, bless his heart”…

Sweet! Everything looks perfect to me!

I've got a great picture of Mitzi and what she's like in my head, and we've got a pretty good idea of Tyler's personality already. Grayson is still a mystery! I'm looking forward to reading more!

Very...

Spell-check and Grammar-check are worthless when writing in Oklahoman. Glad I lived there.

I don't need a translation.

I sure'nuff don't miss the drugs and alcohol of people with empty lives going nowhere.

Welcome to every single moment of my life... LOL. I made it as a quarterfinalist last month in a ScreenCraft competition. Before the announcement I'd completely forgotten about it. Then I found out I was in the top 173 out of 700! You'd THINK that would give me a confidence boost. Oh no, just the opposite. And now, here I am, 24 hours before the next announcement, quite LITERALLY nauseated because of the anxiety of not knowing/wanting to be picked/not wanting to be picked. Half scared out of my mind no matter what happens. It's so completely ridiculous I've been laughing at myself all week but I just can't stop. So I am working to distract myself. Not working. But yeah, I totally get this post.

I'm happy to read you've gotten to this point. I share much of your plight - looking Death in the face, learning to love myself, learning not to take the world or myself so seriously. We can do this! You've got this!

We do all go through peaks and valleys as we try to find out who we are. Never be too serious about life. If you do, you'll never enjoy the small things. Rock who you are because there's no one else like you out there. But that being said, you are never alone. You'll find friends in the darnedest places. Enjoy your life, it's too short to waste it being angry.

This looks like a pretty comprehensive work outline to me, and I see a lot of ways to apply these ideas. Some of them struck a chord, or made me say, "Yup!" to myself.
5) If we both had the appropriate clearances and a secure facility, I could tell you stories of when this wasn't practiced.
7) Good luck, indeed.
10) Absolutely "Thank you, WDC!"
12) As long as I have internet access, I'll probably cheat, but I probably ought to have a copy.
13A and 13F) LOL
13E) Yup.

Thanks for putting this out there for us.

We all have struggles like that from time to time. We all have to find ourselves and go through individualization. We have to figure out who we are and what we stand for. I spent a lot of my life kind of drifting from one circumstance to another. I am 44 and feel like I am just now truly starting to live and find myself. I love writing. I am able to share my discoveries and experiences with others.

I like your take on story telling. Everyone is living one and struggling to understand it. Writing may well be a form of therapy, but it's definitely a means of communication.

I also like humans much less now than I did in my twenties. This pandemic has increased my anti-socialness too. The less I go around people, the less I want to go around them.

30-Day Prompt: Day Eight

"30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" by Fivesixer prompt:

A practice I can begin to help me let go of negative emotions and return to a state of peace is…

…realize where I”m headed in my mind, to try and deour the mood with music and writing and reading. Especially since finding this site, since realizing the tools and pieces are all there for me to put together, I’ve been opened to understanding the situation as it is. It’s become easier to step aside from the feelings to understand how to work with my abilities to control where I’m headed. And after to speaking with someone on this site about inner peace, I’ve realized I just keep leaving the door open on that so it’s ineffectual.

I’m finding myself, though, discovering hills only to find new valleys, and I’m certain we all are. But I’m experiencing me, and I’m learning how to take things in and let them stew around before I respond…I understand now how angry I’ve been to myself for…you know, being human…but with the understanding comes the obligation to change what hasn’t been working.

It’s okay to be serious about the things I do, but it’s not always that serious. It doesn’t have to be. There’s still so much joy and magic left in the world, and I think all one has to do to find it is be receptive to the idea. Self-reliance is probably the most important to me, in that I want to be able to amuse myself and keep myself in the world I deserve. That sounds crazy when I read it back, but it doesn’t make it any less true. I’ve lived a lot of life in forty years, and I don’t have a whole lot longer left on this planet because of genetics and general deterioration. I’m not being dramatic…just an x-rayed fact. And I don’t want to waste any more time feeling bad about my life, oppressing myself with judgments and by focusing on failures.

Maybe I should call my blog “Rhymer’s Therapist” at this point.

I don’t know if it works the same for everyone else or if I just sound too close to gibberish, and I don’t think I’m fixated on that answer. I want to know I’m not alone, that maybe someone else has gone down a path similar to this, but I know I’m okay. I’m where I’m supposed to be, and things feel right. Even if the path hasn’t been the same, I know y’all are out there, and I’ve learned so much about myself because of y’all.

Finding you guys is helping me find myself. And I’m digging that.
