If You Love Someone, Set Them Free.

If they come back, maybe they're yours...
If not?  They never were.

“It is easier to live through someone else than to complete yourself. The freedom to lead and plan your own life is frightening if you have never faced it before. It is frightening when a woman finally realizes that there is no answer to the question 'who am I' except the voice inside herself.”
~ Betty Friedan

If freedom is slavery, as Orwell posits, then self-enslavement is a good thing. It means you alone hold the power to free yourself...



Sending mid-week well wishes to our "Wintertime" growing online friends. (Growing as in, personal growth...) You're stronger than you know. Smarter than you think. Yadda yadda.

When life starts throwing you different pitches you haven't yet seen, eventually you have to get the bat off of your shoulder and swing for yourself. There are other ways to get on base -- and advance -- but the game is built around hitters who make contact with the ball, not those who get hit by a pitch or passed by on four bad balls...

Aberrations aren't the game.
Swinging and connecting solidly are.
Sometimes even sacrificing too, in the right situation...

Baseball and Religion: the game where the team scores when you bring them home. (hey batter, batter batter... Swing!)
