i look up to two year olds.

do you remember being two? probably not so well, but i'm sure you know few two year olds. they are wonderful. yes they have the 'terrible twos' label, but personally i'm a little envious of them. they know what they want and will do anything to get it. they make new friends daily, sometimes simply because someone else has a really cool toy. why, when we get older, do we all of a sudden need so much more? because we have more life experience and have been exposed to this 'cruel' world? i think that maybe we just make things more complicated than they need to be simply because it seems naive to do otherwise. maybe two year olds have it all figured out. i think we should all be a little more like them. you. me. let's be two.

bed.

so, now i may be the one crawling into bed.

anyone need to join?

get over it.

how do you cope with things?

lately a topic of conversation here has been how we get over things. some eat, some vent (constantly), some just wallow in the pain until its gone, some don't want to talk about it, some hover and some just refuse to accept it.

why?

i guess its part of just who we are and what has happened to us in the past. we know how we deal with things and what works for us, even if our methods seem ridiculous to anyone looking from the outside. this makes me think of a will & grace episode (yep, i'm referencing will & grace). in the episode, grace is getting over nathan. how she deals with it is by staying in bed, looking at slides and yelling at her younger self. will, karen and jack decide to intervene and grab grace and take her to the shower. they try to cold shock her out of it. then grace gets out and tells them that she wishes she was as strong as them and could get over things as fast as they did. then she gets back in bed. eventually, the other three climb in bed with her as well and in doing so, admit they aren't as strong as they'd like to be. the next segment shows them all in bed sleeping. grace wakes up, smiles and gets out of bed.

we all have our own ways of dealing with hurt and we don't know why, but we know what works for us. let it be. you know how you work.
