You are Never Alone

To expand on what I've learned about the "me" of me......

See, your you, has a me. You've had a me all your life. In fact, you've had a me from the very beginning. A mini-me, if you will. And your mini-me grew. Your you improved itself, first learning how to feed itself, then crawl, then walk itself, and so on.  Now, as your mini-me grew older, there came a point where your you wasnt happy being mearly a me, your you wanted to be an us. So you had to start looking for a them, so you could be an us! See?

But guess what? They have a me too! They were mini-me's too, but now they're full grown feminine thems! However, their me's are different from yours and my me's. For one thing, their me's are soft and curvy. Also, incredibly, their me's have innies! Our me's, as you know, have outies. But, I digress. We'll cover that later. For now, let's leave it that their me's are very desirable to our me's, and their me's are inexplicably attracted to our me's. The most interesting thing about their me's, as it applies here is that their me's want to be an us too! So their me's start looking at our us's. Now at this point, all of our me's are more enamoured with how all of our me's look. (Still following me?) You know, who's got the best looking face on their me. Who's got the broadest shoulders on their them, who's got the curviest thems on their me...and so on. You get the picture. A lot of raging hormones being flung around among us's.

So before you know it, our me's pair up with one of their me's, a lot of innie-outie stuff goes on and then, usually in front of a large group of me's and our parental us's in front of a religious figure me who represents Him, bada bing, bada boom, we become an us. And life is usually good. The me's of our us's get along, have fairly regular innie-outie sessions and next thing you know, there's a mess of mini-me's like we used to be, running around. But then, it happens. Their me's start looking at our me's and start thinking that we aren't doing enough to improve our me's. Hell, our me's may well look at their me's and think the same thing. Their me's might even accuse us of acting like mini-me's, which of course we aren't, it's just how their me looks at our me. A Venus me versus Mars me kind of thing. 

From there, it leads to a break down of our us. We become more and more me again. Lonely me's. Less and less innie-outie us stuff, more and more resentment me stuff towards each other's thems. We may begin to wonder what's wrong with our me? My me likes innie-outie us stuff. Why doesn't their me like it? If only they would innie-outie us more! Everything's fine except the innie-outie us  stuff. Then, one day, one of our us's decides, damn it, I'm going to have (The) talk with their them and straighten this shit out! And for some God awful reason, their me says it's not their me's fault, it's our me's fault, so they're not going to change their me! We may even believe that it's our me's fault. More self-doubt of our me! So we search online, Googling innie-outieless us's. We find ourselves here, where there's a whole bunch of me's, both us's and them's, all looking for the same answer. What's wrong with my me, and their them? That's when our me's find out that our innie-outieless us's why's don't matter. It's not our me's, it's their me's. We can't change their them, we can only change our me. Our only choices are stay with their them, outsource some other me, or leave...uh...them. So eventually, our me leaves their them, and depending on how it shakes out in our us's jurisdiction, we become just me's again.

But the biggest thing is, and this is the whole point, so pay attention: we've improved our me. We've learned to think of our me first. That it's important to take care of our me. We need to be the best me we can be, if we're ever going to have a shot at being a happy me. If we're ever going to have a shot at finding a them that will truly love our me, take care of our me's heart, we have to be a better me. We can't slack off either. We need to continually work on our me so that someday a wonderful, beautiful them will fall in love with just.....

Me.
Just because I'm....
Me.

Well thank you itsjustus for your belittling and condescending reply.
But in point of fact, I was actually asking if WindSister was speaking of Śūnyatā.
But since you seem to think this is all about you lets make it about you and reply.
Obviously you need the attention.

So in your rambling post please state where you address her mention of:

You are never alone.

You are always loved.

You are safe... always.


Just so we are clear, if your condescending attitude was meant to be "funny" - it is not.
Humor does not need to come at the expense of someone else.
Your seeming willingness to belittle others, unprovoked, when they aren't even addressing you, is very telling.

So I'll type this part really slow and use small words...
Do not confuse my posts with me.
Do not belittle others.
Do not take a condescending tone in your posts to me or anyone.

So the choice is yours. Keep this going or not.
Entirely up to you.

(This post was edited as I was told (by a person I respect and admire) that my original post was "too much")

Oh man wewbwb, I am EXTREAMLY sorry, truly!!! It WAS meant to be funny...but obviously, even to me today, I missed the mark by miles!

In the light of day, I can very clearly see that I came across as rude, condescending, and belittling! An ass. That was not my intent at all, though that is no excuse. I had replied previously to WindSister post about how I discovered after some heartbreaking event's, I had to rely on "me" for my happiness. As long as I have me, I am never alone, always loved, and safe....always. I had hoped that the last paragraph of this reply would put a humorous spin on that concept.

I too was told (by a person I respect and admire, who knows us both pretty well) that you're sense of humor is legendary and that you would see some humor in it, even though it was a dig at you. With all of your humorous post's and post's on the lighter side forum, I had hoped you would give me a bit of a pass.....but in re-reading what I wrote.....you shouldn't. You are correct to call me out on it. Very correct.

I told that person just this morning how hilarious I find your funny post's to be, but how when you get serious, there is always very deep thought put into it, much like your reply to awakeforthedance above. I also told that person that you are a strong supporter...if not the strongest supporter, of other's on this forum who have been attacked by trolls, or other shallow thinking idiots who throw insults at other's. Especially those other's who are too nice or forgiving to push back against unwarranted insults to their intelligence. Like my bad attempt to be funny above. I am that idiot today.

I don't wish to keep this going. I want to profusely apologize and hope that you can forgive me and do the same. I'd like to still count you as a friend.

I'm sorry.
