What bothers you and why?
I was thinking shall I answer this can I really be bothered today, because nothing I could think of bothers me to much I have to say.
I sat and thought how tolerant I have become over the years, I am impressed with myself . I don’t get bothered by the trivial things that used to keep me awake, night after night.
For instance;
Why does that group of mums at the school stare but won’t say hello back to me? Why are my children such fussy eaters? Why is my marriage a failure? Why am I always so cold? Why? Why? Why?
Every night and day ate me away, self doubt, oh botheration of all bothers
Then when my health took a nasty downhill turn I took all the bothers and over the next few years I fed them to my demons. Let them get fat on everything that worries and bothers me. Now my head was all over the place at the time but, I knew one thing if I fed them all the things from small to large, issues, gripes, angers, fears and bothers till they are full, over full , those demons of mine would explode and they did.
Then my head was empty of petty issues and if something comes along it’s probably got a reason usually I am tired or in pain. At the end of the day if something is bothering you either work out why, walk away, or get some help.
“I don’t even bother trying to picture a perfect world, because I don’t think that perfection is something to strive for. I prefer imperfection. That’s what makes things special. You know, things that change.” – Anthony Kiedis
