If you ever showed the world your true self, life as you know it would change. Moments would never be the same, feelings would change. If we reacted and moved with our every thought, whim, and compulsion, the life we live would change. In general do not know what to do with the real side. Even those who control their whims and cumpulsion, but show there feelings, emotions and thoughts often leave others in their wake wondering what just happened. We as humans have learnt that all thoughts must be checked and controlled to all degrees. I am not saying that you should be allowed to spout every thought that pops in to your head but we seem to be discouraged to some degree in communication. We must always be kind, courteous and almost carpet like. When did we decide that as people perhaps even as christians that we must except all, because we must show the love of Christ. Even among ourselves, we scorn the one who stand up. Can we balance or walk the fine line between standing ground with love and just erring on the safe side and baring it with a smile. Does God require this or have we decided that as humans we cannot practice the art of fine communication without judgement?

Alicia, to me living 'real' is a life-long quest. It is sometimes like climbing Mt. Everest - The wrong footing could prove fatal but what a feeling when you make it to the top! It is sometimes like walking a tightrope with no training and other times like a walk in the park. It is sometimes like scratching your nails on a chalkboard and other times like directing an orchestra to a standing ovation. Knowing when to let your reality flow and ebb into the realities of those around you takes balance and wisdom, courage and charity. I certainly am learning this more and more each day. I enjoy reading your blog.
The Alicia I know and love is back. Great post!
I am left thinking...
