Pink-Are We All We Are~Pink kinda day

Ya’ll a couple of weeks ago someone with this Twitter user name @pinklpinkk started following me. I love this person’s quotes and I followed in silence, so do they and I love it. This morning I’ve been listening to Pink’s CD “The Truth About Love” I love it. It’s like a charge to those like myself Love, the Love kinda LOVE has always been represented by pain and sometimes you just get tired or hurting and afraid of Love. This song to is like a battle cry to me. I love this woman’s strength and her undying determination to be all she can be inspires me.

I thought of my girl friends that are to afraid to show their pissed off side. I love that they take a stand for what they believe and aren’t afraid to ruffle feathers and piss people off.

 

Often, out of our greatest rejection comes our greatest direction

Often, out of our greatest rejection comes our greatest direction
For me this is so true, when faced with rejection or what I perceive as such
I do withdraw, we all do because no one wants to feel less then
Out done, not wanted, not needed, perhaps not making the bill
The strength to fight the urge to disappear is hard to muster
When your second nature response is to flee, duck, cover and run
Standing firm and allowing this storm to pass over is the only way
To completely be free of this behavior, to make that change stick
Because I don’t know about you but when my rejection button is pushed
That is when I am most vulnerable, when I am most tender to feel like 
I am not chosen, or not the favorite one
I could just choose to go away, but instead I stand and notice
What a lovely day it is, cold and brisk
I think I saw a deer in my back field, I know the stars were so bright at
6:20 a.m. this morning and I think it’s okay if I am not exciting,
the one that catches someone’s eye, and holds their attention
It’s okay that I am sitting at a desk while everyone else is on vacation
It’s just okay, right this very moment, and that is all I need to know
That is all I know, and with that I know, I am Okay
I’m not everyone’s cup of tea, 
Not their choice
I am okay with that
this moment
I am
