We say stupid things. Judgment runs away from us.
In a flash of adrenalin, all considered thought scurries,
leaving us to wonder: “Could I have handled that better?”
“It’s not like I cry all the time, but when the frustration peaks
& I’ve reached my limit, the tears just come. It is embarrassing
& I feel like such a failure for not being able to hold it in.”
Comment from Passionate_One
“My way is to seize an image that moment it has formed in my mind,
to trap it as a bird and to pin it at once to canvas. Afterward I start
to tame it, to master it. I bring it under control and I develop it.”
Quotation from Joan Mira
Every time I open your blog, you somehow inspire me, Sera. You’re funny and smart and you rock. I love that quote by Miro- it’s beautiful.
Well, looks like Bettina took the words out of my mouth today
Excellent post, lovely link to women’s health and you rock indeed!
This makes me think about that “toilet union” we found on your blog some comics ago… Let’s just run to the intimity of our toilets, let’s spill our tears and wipe our nose with some (clean!) toilet paper…
I was just saying the other day – my friend’s 16 month old broke down in these big unabashed tears – how I wish I could do that. Just let it out so honestly. It just doesn’t seem to want to come – and sometimes I’m afraid if it did – it mighn’t stop. It’s been building for yeeeeeears. Lucky for me I also have plenty of reasons to smile – and that…. that seems to come out all on it’s own.

yes, sometimes is better to be in silence
hehehe
a kiss
I too should learn how to control myself and my thoughts sometimes. I guess I’ve learnt a lot this last year and a half. I’m not the same person I used to be. I guess it’s my husband’s influences, he calms me down, he’s my opposite *lol*
Many times I could have handled things better!!! I guess all of us.
Love the quotation from Joan Miró!
Mental diarrhea? I’ve heard of verbal diarrhea, but not mental.
But we certainly need to think things through before saying it. I’ve said a million things that have offended my close friends when I was only joking. I definitely have verbal & mental diarrhea…and intestinal too.
It is always a good idea to hold our tongue when our emotions are high, but it does get the better of us at times, Hey, i too get the best thoughts and ideas while on the throne! lol
Lol on the biffy huh? For me its the shower. My mind wanders in the heat and i just start thinking about everything. Get some of my best ideas when im in there. Have a pen and paper handy just outside it too as im likely to drift to another idea before too much longer and then forget it hehe.
i get my best thoughts in the shower. By the way, i did not know the camode was called a biffy!
Life is like walking along a narrow bridge. One side are our emotions which tell us the truth about how we feel, but can overpower us to make premature judgment before we have all of the relevant information. On the other side is our rationality or intellect. Proceeding too swiftly leads us to irrational judgments just as our emotions will tell us later that was the case. Similar to the need for the artist to be free from social restraints but the same time to rationally determine how that uniqueness is to be created to appeal to an intended audience. William Wordsworth wrote, “. . . that every great and original writer, in proportion as he is great and original, must himself create the taste by which he is to be relishedâ€.
best wishes
Seraphine: Your art work here reminds me of my late Cousin whom I miss dearly.She’d be sitting on the Loo with her cell phone carrying on when all of a sudden you’d hear the sound of the flush!
I enjoyed this post! Have a nice weekend!
“We don’t need no education
We don’t need no thoughts control…”
Definitely, mental diarrhea doesn’t sound fun. Less fun than it is to spell diarrhea correctly.
A time of quiet contemplation on the loo? I think I must flush away my thoughts too quickly these days to have noticed. I think alot when I am out walking. The exercise seems to wind up the brain cells. I try and focus less on mush these days, but it is hard. So much of what we think about is only good for flushing down the loo! Swivel the drivel!
Ich finde Ihre Homepage sehr gut und fundiert. Die Informationen helfen mir bei einer Diplomarbeit für den Bereich der Medizinischen Dokumentation vielen Dank und weiter so.
