Today I feel as though I am functionally dysfunctional. I am one of those people who can give great logical advice, about damn near anything. I sit as I speak and kind of chuckle to myself. I find that most of what I tell my friends in not so much what I have done but I would do differently. My advice is functional, honest and from the heart but not two minutes after I let the words slip from my lips do I encounter some situation that requires me to take my own advice yet it seems I would sooner jump in a dean of lions than be the bigger person and take my own advice.. so this I say I am functionally dysfunctional. I can see what I am doing, and I cant blame this on impulse control because it's not. I am harsh when my words should be soft and comforting, seem indifferent when my heart is breaking. I can see everyone else's problems and find ways to avoid and even alleviate them, I know how to do this for myself too. Yet when I am the one standing in the empty room alone, and it just seems like another day. How did I get to this place, so far from what, where, and who I should be? Do we get so wrapped up in all the matters of the world and it's evils that we over our selves and end up being functionally dysfunctional.

Can I join the club? lol I am the exact same way. In some situations, I end up thinking, "Didn't so-and-so just go through this? And didn't I just tell her NOT to do what I just did?" I think that we all need the cosmic reality slap every once in a while, so that we can wake ourselves up.

I think the last year of my life has been one big cosmic reality slap. LOL when will we ever learn?
