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!

Wow! Mr. Positivity... thank you! True we can often be our own worst enemies.

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 Nine

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

Everyone seems to be pretty health conscious in today's world. What health tips have worked for you. If you can't think of any, or are like me and haven't pursued any, what would you like to do to improve your health?

Ohhh…yeah, about that…my lungs are shot. At thirty-eight years old, they told me my lungs were that of a 65-year old man. That’s been a few years ago. There’s not anything I can do to help that at this point. I’m staring down the end as hard as it’s staring at me. All I can do while learning to die is learn to live. That’s not too difficult.

Physical health is kinda moot, but emotional health, mental health…these are now just as important if not a little more. I might struggle some days, but I can guarantee you won’t see me mired down for too long. I don’t have time for that. Especially when the Muse is wearing spurs.

I’ve come to understand in the last few weeks that I’ve been hard on myself, excessively mean. And while I feel like I deserve it, I know I really don’t, nor do I have time for that, either. In trying to comprehend this, though, I’ve also seen how much happier life is through the lenses of appreciation, in learning how to ease up off myself. I just want to live happy within myself, for myself, and because of myself. And it’s not that I don’t need others to help and support me on some days, but it’s easier to learn to hug your own inner peace every once in a while, to remember our power, not our weakness; our progress, not our failing; who we are, not how others peg us.

Life isn’t always so happy, but it’s not as difficult once we realize how we speak to ourselves. My physical health is done for, but my life, what I can see just over the horizon still has so much good coming. And writing saved me. Thank you, WDC, for giving a place for all of us to find ourselves, to learn how to like who we are. I think that’s all I could really ask for. And to see you guys doing the same, it’s an honor. I love it.
