And all the kings horses,
And all the kings men,
Could never break Humpty,
Like they wished to...again.angel

bohdiprana: Our society (who knows for how long) has been one relentless anti-self esteem machine. The "dislike yourself" mantra instilled by our ancestors and those who tend to matters of sinning, have created such a roadblock to healthy self esteem, that it appears that many will ever, perhaps never, quite see through the illusion.

Do you see? Are you one of the broken ones?

Men have been told and taught to stuff their feelings, that they are among other things, childish, inappropriate, unhealthy and reflect an unstable person. And yes, woman are being pushed into this 'way' of disliking the self as as well. Bottle it up, stuff it away where it ruins your self esteem and begins your dis-ease within the world and your dislike of your 'self'.

We then begin to manifest this dislike for our emotional self, instead of embracing that which is truly us. Loving that we are emotional beings. How can we ever enjoy self esteem as long as we demean, bury and discredit the very things that we are.

Sometimes how we express our emotions is uncomfortable..true... but this does not mean we are broken.

Are YOU broken? If you don't see this, it's likely you are.


I think we are all broken in one way or another. Its all in how we repair ourselves. We can sit and accept the way things are or we can do something to change it. I chose the latter and I feel pretty good about myself.

How perceptive of your friend.

Broken? I've been down so low there was no place to go but up. Low self-esteem can change to a positive thing if you truely believe in yourself. After all, only you can control you if you choose. Why give your power away?

I was broken before my second year. Because of my pieces I knew I was not alone. We have to remember we are all nothing but pieces we can all be placed back together. The pieces may be mixed, but we are all hole, or one.

How can I lose the ball? I am the ball.

Sometimes I think I have lost myself. But, then, I reach in my pocket, and there I am.

Keep your eye on the ball? Man, that's a tough order.

If I keep my eye on the ball, I will only have one eye-ball.

Sometimes I think I feel my past sneaking up on my future. And then I realize its just Wile E. Coyote trying to catch the Road-runner. We all know how that ends. Painfully, with lots of ACME.
