Who's Next.

Have you ever come to a realization, an epiphany, a serendipitous insight into the lies you tell yourself.

At any time in your life ya just might find that you be more robot than ya thought and that you end up doing things, not because ya want to or because ya be following yer own path, but fer the subconscious desire to avoid trouble at all costs.

Life be messy and right now me gots to make the choice of choices. Does me stay or does me go. Not talkin about blogging, but about fulfilling responsibilities. How important are the promises ya make to yerself and yer spouse and the people who rely on you as compared to the responsibilities engendered by filial piety?

Some say there be no choice, but me be the kind of idiot who always be lookin fer the third, fourth or even the fifth possibility in any given situation.

Me going home...

Me no got but one mother.

Me haven't had an epiphany since me was 12. Mom rubbed my nose in it and made me clean it up. SPLAT!

Go on home, Monster. The other things will wait for you.

In times like these, I like to think of a line from the Road Warrior: "Just walk away...and put an end to the horror...just walk away"

I too would like to borrow from "The Road Warrior" but in this case, from Tina Turner in "Beyond Thunderdome":

We don't need another hero
We don't need to know the way home

Scary Monster said...

Curious~ Don't cry, sweetie. The monster still stomps.

Mr. Dyckerson~ You were still crappin the rug at twelve.

TGF~ Iffin me goes home, Me ain't too sure what will be here when me returns.

VE~ Walkin away will bring me into the horror, not away from it.

PUG~ Sorry. This time me could't disagree with you more.


STOMP.

what would be the best fit for you, scary?? or, where would you feel more 'at home' at? or have the most fun at? which is the most important thing of all...

Stacia said...

Decisions like this are never easy. Remember when there seemed to be only one answer to a question? Now there are dozens, and the Sword of Damocles always over our heads.

Choose what you feel deep down is the best thing to do.

Scary Monster said...

Libby~ Choosing between what be best or what be easist, what be right or what be comfortable be the nexus of defining what a Monster be. Life is living on the razors edge.

December~ Yet when the sword of Damocles falls and we elude the bright, keen edge; then it will sever the Gordion knot thereby alleviating the threat and freeing us all at a single instant.

stomp.

I understand...
I do, I do, I do-

I can't write about it here- I tried already...
Yesterday I had to pull off the road from weeping so hard I couldn't see.

Hugs friend- take good care. I'm here if you need anything...

UBERMOUTH said...

Noooooooooooooooooo, don't leave me here all alone. Why do you have to go??? Me no like.

Pink said...

These are tough decisions. I've had to make em twice in my life and no matter what you decide, there will be some regret for the decision not made. I guess you have to consider what will be best for you and your life in the long run. Sometimes that means going and taking care of other peoples horror just because not to do so will haunt us. And sometimes that means just taking a small trip into the horror to give some comfort but maintaining our own balance in our own lives outside the whirlpool. And sometimes it means something else entirely.

If you are travelling home, travel safe and blessings to you on what you need to do.
