Hunger

Ever get hungry? I don’t mean feeling something that can be subsided by the simple pleasure of food. I mean a deep down aching need for something? And it takes over and you just feel…hungry. Hungry for conversation or human contact or laughter or anger or whatever…you soul is screaming at you that it needs something and demands to be taken seriously. That kind of hunger.

I woke up today feeling that. And yet can’t determine the exact need. That is the harder part. But lately as days go by I know that something is missing from my amazingly blessed world and can feel “it” moving farther and farther away unless I take action for “it”. So your soul gets restless and tries to get you off your analytical ass to actual act or fight for “it”. Bravo! Your heart says.

Stop worrying what is the right thing to do for once and just do it (sorry Nike!). How many of us spend our time thinking and worrying about what we should do when we feel something? But how many of us actually do something about those feelings? When is the last time you remember being crazy and just acting on your gut feeling? Or being spontaneous for that matter? When is the last time you surprised someone or yourself for that matter? Yes you will be fine doing nothing and going about your day. But what if fine isn’t good enough? It isn’t for this redhead.

How many times have you not had a difficult conversation with someone because you just were scared of the consequences? Have you ever pushed yourself out of your comfort zone and reminded you that life is too short not to have those difficult conversations. You only get one shot at life. Once today is over, it is over. What if you don’t get a tomorrow? Don’t you owe it to that person or yourself to have that conversation? I am a big hater in life of things left unsaid. Why let yourself have regrets? If that person is worth it at all like you obviously think they are (friend, colleague, lover, parent), they will be grateful and maybe relieved that you took that first step.

Have to go out the door now to do something crazy to feed my hunger.

Until next time.
