DRUNK WITH SOBERNESS

Can I have a Big Dog of Soberness please?!?

When you're sitting at the bar of life what do you ask for to drink? Do you ask for something that makes you lose you balance and fall of your stool, or do you ask for a big glass of soberness to help you sit up straight on your stool and help those around you.

Do you find yourself looking around at those stumbling across the room trying to make their way to the bathroom, the girl covering her mouth as hard as she can as she runs to the bathroom hoping she won't throw up before she makes it to the bathroom, or the belligerent man sling his arms as the security staff escorts him off the property?

As the reality check begins to set in as I sip on my glass of soberness I can't help but ask myself, how did I get to this point in my life? Where and what was it that made me decided to choose the left and not quite the right? What got me from point A to point B? Me! I got me from point A to point B, I decided to choose the left but why? A since of disrespect for oneself will get you to this point.

How do you find that sense of respect for oneself again though? Is it through much deliberation and inner soul searching? I believe it takes time to work on ones inner self. I don't think it happens over night either. I believe the need for a sense of change may come over night but whether or not you're willing to take that sense and run with it is up to you!

Today's enlightenment... "ask and ye shall receive, knock and it shall be opened"
