Staying the distance...

and we all are. you shouldnt be surprised aboute that. we all suffer with something in our personal lives.
That is simillar to anothers in respect to the pain we feel.
sometimes its daily some time depending on the situation it's only every now and then.
Staying the distance is aboute being strong when no strength can be found.
where do we we find strength if there is no strength in us and how do we use skills we dont have.
well you have to have support and others around you that are simallar in there beliefs.
and than there are those who dont have anyone near to be that support what do we do then.
how do we cope. we can take a walk into anothers problem by reading or watching a television program ,take your pick.
my point is this we are all not so differant to one another as you might think were just are differant in nature and our abillity to deal and cope with problems. thats why we need imformation and insight from others to feel like we are part of the game.
we all want to be a part of something.
Ok lets take this down a notch mabey you can understand from this basic illustration .something i will share with you in my own lifes experiance.
Two weeks ago i suffered a tragedy in my own life . my father died. now i wasn't totally absent from this reality. i knew this was coming because he used to write me a letter about once a month and he would tell me .such things as "you know i wont be around forever" and I want to make sure you will be ok when i'm gone. we can surmise from this that he was concerned about how i would be and how i will handle his death when it comes. do we know when we are going to die. this is not the only time i have experienced this.
the year before, the woman in my life for the past 7 years died suddenly of a heart attack we used to sit up and talk at night in bed she would say that she felt the lord was calling her home soon and i would reply its just that your scared and not anything to worry about and she would say no your wrong and you have to face this i am going to die soon.. i know.. i didn't listen because i couldn't face the truth you see she had cancer and she knew. i think that there is something inside of each of us, that lets us know that our time is nearing when we will leave this world based on my own life experience
now if that is not proof of the existence of the one we call. God i don't know what is..
So Staying the distance for what.
you would think that loosing your father would de-rail your life. but it dosent have to. we are ment to learn from such things after al they do happen to all of us.it should tear you down and leave you weak and feeling helpless. but it doesn't it just makes you a stronger person. and more intent on success in your own endeavors.
after all he would want me to go on and be positive and be successful right, well that's my point.
staying the distance for me is about finding strength when there is none. finding support when theres no one near. its about toughing it out. biting the bullet and coming through the storm to the other side of the morning... SelfStyldMusic
P.S.I hope this helps.

i have been hiding for a very long time and in disbeliefe of my unfortunate life situations but i know that i am a person who can share with others and find a place for myself in this life.
we are all capable of giving so much. but it seems like our fears keep us at bay.
I am just one man and one spirit amoung many.
but i care aboute the others on this planet even though that same sentimate has not allways been bestowed on me...
i appreciate your careing aboute how i feel aboute my dad and Velenda they were and are very precious to me.
i dont have any friends to speak of they are all gone now.
some just turned out to be no friends at all but i am hopefull that this will change thats why i joined opera in the first place.
hopeing to find a friend. SelfStyldMusic

I'm glad you're coming out of hiding and are sensing a higher call to your life's purpose. I also hope that you find many new friends here and abroad.
I think we we're created to have deep and meaningful connections, but as you pointed out, our fears and vulnerabilities often keep us at bay. A sad affair.
Hope you share your music with us!
