Sometimes I try to hide the truth and repress it as I feel like I may make a notion which everyone may not support or talk about a certain thing that many people wouldn't be interested.
My problem I guess would be lacking confidence and being pressurised and conforming to society to be safe rather than to outgoing and speak of matters which I am passionate and zealous about.
I guess I should pretend I am dead. I should have no care or attentiveness as who is able to scorn and scould at me if I am merely just a corpse laying on the ground. They can hold feelings against me but there will be no receiver to their animosity.
Truth is something that is ungovernable. It situated our life everywhere we go showering its special abundance of mercy. The more you sacrifice the more wisdom and truth you will receive. Those who strive towards meekness and forbearance will be enriched with the truth as he is not caught up in the swathes of desires and fear of not conforming to society.
Thank you for these words of wisdom @stellabelle! :)
yeah, I can tell with your writing that you're a very deep thinker.
The more you sacrifice the more wisdom and truth you will receive.
This is exactly the case. Those with skin in the game prosper while those at the sidelines of life will remain milque toast, at best. Before my radical truth period, I used to be a repressed thinker, highly neurotic, a lot like those parrots who chew on their own feathers. I had mental energy, passion, but i didn't know how to be myself.
I see some of those same traits in you, and it most likely is an age thing.
I believe if i had not become impoverished, I would not be a writer today. If I had not been pushed to the brink of wanting to snuff out my own life, it's doubtful I would be where I am.
Middle-class, mayoinnase life was never for me. I went searching, and nearly extinguished myself. That's what happened...
out of curiosity, if you were able to do this thought exercize, and pretend you're dead, what would you write about? I see most of your topics are intellectual in nature... Would you write about something more emotional, something that happened to you?
I used to care , I cared a lot , what would people think . Then I realized , they are going to judge anyways so I could write as I please . Something I've shared are beyond personal , embarrassing and I'm sure I would get judged for it , being forced to marry , being unemployed and etc but it is who I am today . I have become strong , independent , and eager . I'm not afraid to share my story anymore , because it is the truth , and speaking the truth helps you build confidence . Truth is what people want to hear , it helps you connect better with society . I have grown up hearing "what will people say" when you stop caring about what people will say, that's the day you truly start living . @stellabelle
I guess some parts of me are dead , and what is not I should just pretend . Pretending moves us from reality
I just read it. OMG. This is absolutely horrible, and yes, I can relate on some level. I think you're a brave person for revealing all this. So, are you in NY now? And raising your baby alone? We need to chat soon, because now I finally understand why you see some similarities....our stories are similar, but I would have to admit, yours is more tragic.
That fact that you took your time out to check my page out , it truly was an honor . I really appreciate your support ❤️ I would love to catch up with you sometime and know your story . He's actually not here yet and probably won't be until December or so , so yes, I'll be raising my baby alone until then
Thank you for this. For years I allowed the needs of others distract from my passion due to a lack of confidence. The dead have no need for confidence.
ha ha! Then we are similar, as I too have spent more years attending to the needs of others before myself! I think it's payback time! Get started on your own life today!
What is it that they say about payback? ha ha! I recently kicked that parasitical part of my personality to the curb. Your motivational-fu is legend, keep the payback coming!
Fantastic post! I've never thought about it this way. From now on I'll always do things as if I was dead. It's a perfect way to kill your shitty ego. You are good at motivating! :)
ha ha! Today, I do feel like I'm offering a Udemy course on writing!!!!!
Steemit could be the ultimate teaching tool! This place is just getting started!!!
Market it like this:
As a student, you not only don't have to pay, but the best comments from students get economically rewarded!
We are in a future paradigm that very few people even know how to use and value.
Oh yes it's already an ultimate teaching tool because of people like you! That's a great way to market it haha. Also, all new students should be introduced to the power of yunk on day one!
You are very right dear friend @ stellabelle, your words have made me reflect.
As a child I always told the truth, that has brought me many consequences, entering into adolescence begins to be more political and disguise the truth to not erry feelings, where I have always told the truth and what I really thought were in the workplace, Imagined the consecueincias and ñlas encountered situations that lived by this situation.
Never think as you put it "Talk like I'm dead ° I think this idea is brilliant, you take off all the pressures from above. Excellent way to see things, very grateful for that.
I wish you a splendid day.
"What do I do when I don't know what to write about?"
If i was to answer that question, i would definitely be surprised. That a dead person is asking me something. Or rather a dysfunctional being. It's like indirectly saying *"What do I do when my brain stops thinking?" @o@
There are a ton of subjects you can write about. You can draw it out from your experiences in life; the things you enjoy or you hate, anything you have learned or something you want to know. Your innermost desires to the most simplest wants you have. As long as you can think, you can write. Even if you have your limbs cut off. You just need to have the passion, determination, and the will to put it into words.
'Enjoyed your post. I have written for many years and I identify with your statement to "write as if you were dead". I never heard it put that way. Growing up in a small town shaped me in so many ways for which I will be eternally grateful. Then, there were the "rules" of politeness and self preservation that formed a constrictive cast around me that made truth very hard to tell. A friend of mine just spoke with me concerning a situation that involves the polite concern and being able to say "no" without self condemnation or regret.
My friend is taking care of an invalid husband and had recently had a conversation with her friend of many years who was "stuck" in a nursing home, as she put it. This friend is immobile, practically blind and a cancer patient. My friend was approached with the proposition of the old friend coming to live at her house since the nursing home was so undesirable. Of course, my friend, had to say "no" as she just couldn't possibly take on that responsibility. That, to me, made total sense but my friend is burdened over having to refuse. All these years my friend has been known as the "unselfish giver". There has to come a time for all of us that the truth is good enough and shouldn't be a sense of guilt that we must carry.
awesomely awesome @stellabelle in my point of view i'd rather to tell the truth no matter what like if someone ask me my opinion he should be aware of that I don't mince my words am always speak my mind so if my opinion offended you then that's your problem i don't care for what people said behind me i can take criticism "if the truth is bitter and hurtful but for sure it's a thousand times better than hypocritical courtesy." the point is some people fear of telling the truth maybe caring for the others emotions or avoid to go through an argument so they decide to stay comfortable fooling themselves and live in an illusion until their brains will accept what they said as it is the truth subconsciously and it will influence their attitudes and that would make our world horrible place. thank's for sharing this great insights with all of us . have a fantastic day @stellabelle
Wow , write as if you are dead in order to fearlessly say the truth and never be afraid of being called fake news!!! upped-this post has motivated me to proceed in writing and saying it as it is. Always glad to see your post. Looking forward to you publishing your top article here.

what's the "forced to marry" part about? Have you written about that?
Actually I have , one simple version , and one in deep thoughts since people wanted to hear more

Glad you are reflecting....it's a good place to be. Thanks for reading my posts! Attention is scarce around here, getting more scarce every day.
You are very right in what you say, I do not know what is happening, the attention is being scarce. I have a lot of faith that will soon change.

Nice post, good job, great work. 😏😏😏😏😏😏
Very good advice from you!
Happy it made sense! :)
I need to restock on my english vocabulary now. I suck at creative writing.
I like haiku.
;)
haiku ga omoshiroi desu ne.
wakarimashita.
Thank you for understanding. :)
By the way i'm Filipino. ^u^

Your post relates to my post: https://steemit.com/steem/@charles1/exposed-dan-hidden-plan-to-take-over-the-world I actually wrote the truth, fearlessly . Feel free to see it.
I appreciate your dog-like excitement.
Hahaa, Dog-like excitement!!! I like that, thanks for your comment and more success.
I am writing as if I'm already dead....not self-censoring...as "dogs" have a bad name.
Practice what you preach isnt it? for me dogs are lovely and man´s best friend...why not use a snake?
