Decisions based on fear

Do we simply do things out of fear? Are all our decisions about life, people, the future simply based on our fear?
For example:
I want that new car. If I do not have that car, then all the number of years, I have been on the earth I have not progressed, can that simply be measured by not having a car.

I should be having children now, the fear of people´s perception, if a woman does not have children. Or the fear of being along and carrying on with my blood line if I do not have a child.

I know I got married, simply because I thought I would be the last one on the shelf, and I was only in in my late 20´s.

Are we simply gauged to make decisions on how we feel or are they simply based on fears?

Negativity vs Grief

I was reading an interesting article, which made me think, do we spend our times grieving and this is the reason for so much negativity or is it because we are consumed with negativity this makes us constantly grieve.

Not sure I know the answer, the answer was given, as it is because of our grieving, which is in terms of disappointment, losing a job, friend, house etc. that causes us to have so much negativity in our lives.

I still feel, that we expect things to be bad, and we are consumed with negativity which makes us draw on the flaws of others…………….

Being a Mother

Extract from the book - THE HIGHS, the lows, The Inbetweens

Beauty



The pain
The agony
The push
The pull
The screams
The cries

And then he came
Beauty
In my arms
In my life


At last we meet face to face
At last you are by my side

Those feet that used to push
Those arms that used to punch
That body that used to turn
That back that used to hurt
Right inside of me

No longer inside

Now on the outside

Rubbing my hands against you
Stroking my fingers along you

Poking you
Are you real?
Proding you
Are you real?
Touching you

Beauty

At last you are here

I hate women drivers!



I hate women drivers!
Why, can they not park?
Near the kerb?
Not anywhere
With no regards!

I hate women drivers!
Especially in the dark
They put on their blinkers
Because, they can not see.
The problem, is neither can we!

I hate women drivers!
How they love to drive fast
Only for school runs
Then they cruise all day long

I hate women drivers!
Do they believe?
That the traffic lights are stops
To make phone calls
For their daily needs

I hate women drivers!
Can they see there are lines in the road?
They signify lanes
You should only drive in one
Not in all 3!

I hate women drivers!
They stop at zebra crossings
Because they feel this is the time
To speak to their friends and catch up
What feels like an hour long!

I hate women drivers
Oh, I wish men
will stop shouting
THIS AT ME!
