Sinful regrets.

This is something I've been thinking about a lot recently... I don't believe in sin: I believe in mistakes that you don't learn from. And I think that regret is a wasteful emotion. As long as you learn the lesson you needed to learn from that mistake, then the experience was a good one and therefore is not something you need to carry around with you in the form of guilt, self-doubt, and perpetual feelings of failure that constantly undermine your psyche.

Learn the lesson (i.e. stop repeating the same mistake), accept that the lesson was necessary, and let it go.

(For the record, yes, this is MUCH easier said than done)

Our walls don't keep hurt out; they hold pain in.

The emotional strife so many deal with on a daily basis (and the physical as well, since they are inextricably connected), is a result of holding onto pain and hurt from our past. The walls we build around our hearts (and painful parts of our bodies) are often put there with the intent of protecting us from new pain, but that is a delusion. The real reason for those walls is to hold our old pain in, preventing us from letting it go. The danger isn't from outside, it's already inside.

Pain is a malicious thing. It convinces us we can't live without it, but the truth is that it can't live without us.

Oh hai...

Why hello there little blog. Long time no post... There will be more for you soon, but in the meantime I'll leave you with this little tidbit:

Nearly anything can be improved, possibly even salvaged if need be, with the addition of a bit of good barbecue sauce and/or mayo.

Tootles!
