I was watching some birds sleep with their head under their wing. I was thinking some of us are going through life with our heads under our wings. Either for protection from our feelings or our fears or something else. I feel like that. I feel like I keep my head under my wing and only once in a while either in the bright sunshine of happiness or the pain like being hit hard from a rock do I ever remove my head out from under my wing.
People tell me I am so laid back, nothing bothers you and your aren’t afraid of anything. Talk to anyone who really knows me and they will say that is a crock of shit. Yes I will fight when I have to. But fighting is easy. It is all the rest that is hard.
I have decided to pull my head out from under my wing. It will be a slow process. Been shut down for so long that not sure what to do. All I know is My head was under my wing and I missed out on something special to me a few years back. I won’t make that mistake again.
Great post and it truly explains your life for the last 10 years at least. I hope this is the beginning of that red hair shining in the sunshine during your waking hours. Maybe another chance to view the special things will come along!
