For the love of shoes

Bohemian B is pretty much a case of ‘what you see is what you get.’ But also does depend on which Bohemian B personality you are getting at the specific moment. I believe what I believe and say what I feel.....maybe too much so, like now for instance, I will probably get crucified for this, but that has never stopped me before....so here goes....

Your beliefs don’t make you a better person, your behaviour does. It is my personal opinion that each and every one of us should ask our-selves the question, “do I walk the walk or just talk the talk?” before proclaiming your belief system to the world.  Alright maybe not the whole world (just your world), maybe it’s to your family or friends and in many cases to complete strangers (see where I’m going here?)

Another good question we could ask our-selves is, “who exactly are we trying to convince?” I think (therefore I am dangerous) that it is our own selves that we are trying to convince.  We are all (constantly) very quick to ‘give-our-two-cents-worth’ on how others should feel/act/talk/walk, basically whatever WE feel is ‘the right way to do it’.  But, and this is a big BUT (no your butt is not big.....don’t be so touchy) have you ever noticed how it is these ‘up-standing’ people who offer their advice if not rather judgment, who are constantly found meddling in others peoples business. And just for the record, let me add fuel to this fire by saying that meddling in other couples relationships does not make you a hero/councillor/therapist, all it does is bring shame on yourself as you are probably sowing more harm than good (remember Karma?) You are also just proving that your life has somehow become mundane and relatively boring and therefore you have decided on a new career choice......( maybe try reading a good book rather, or how about a movie? A good’ol classic....) Now don’t get me wrong here, I’m all for support, constructive and positive advice. It is imperative to support one another. However, when your ‘advice’ sounds more like judgment and your support more like criticism, your ‘good works’ end up becoming a real therapist pay check.....

For instance, if you do happen to come across a couple who may be facing a speed-bump in their relationship, which is normal by the way (granted you are human of course) rather be supportive than presuming the roll of therapist as you proceed to initiate in the doctor-doctor game of ulterior motives, because even if your motives may be pure, they could very quickly be perceived as not and before you know it, you will be the one in need of therapy.

Should you take offence and somehow feel this is in any way aimed at you personally then perhaps another question for the mirror is in order, “Mirror, mirror on the wall, why am I taking this post so personally if this is not like me at all?”  There is an age old saying that says, "If the shoe fits....."     Once again I must stress, just the ramblings of my own mind (‘s) , if this was aimed at one specific person I would ‘tag’ you in it.......but I have rather directed this at whomever this shoe may fit.......

Glitter greetings (and all things shiny)
