The sickness is spreading.
Disturbed by the way things are headed, is there any time for relief?
The pockets of many are getting smaller.
Bills are increasing.
Daylight is the only sign of freedom.
E-Commerce is in a meltdown.
E-mailing seems to be the only form of connecting with one another.
We need to wake up.
We need to learn to breathe again.
We need to forget the ugly sides of things.
We need to remember those who showed us what it is to smile.
Direct deposit got your account number wrong.
Paypal is closed this week when you needed the extra $40.
Your credit card's APR increased without notice.
Your best friend is your worst enemy.
Today we say goodbye to the pain.
Today we say goodbye to the hate.
Today we say goodbye to the darkness.
Today we say hello, I'm still standing.
Today I will pet my dog or cat.
Today I will call my sibling.
Today I will not be the victim.
Today I will not be the sickness.
And that's Real Talk.

How Sick Are We?
In a world of truth and diversity, the story of each character is more realistic than you could ever imagine or believe. This idea is tampered with when greed and corruption begin to take hold of what is available. Another way to look at this is obsession. Obsession can kill a person, by health and mind. When your judgment is based on a want more than a need, it becomes hard to recognize which is more important. Self-relief becomes a priority over self-improvement. Don't be fooled as to what self-improvement really is. Recall the past or your prior experience, and proceed with caution.
How does this affect us The People?
Believe it or not it does. Think about the worst salesman you have ever met. Not only is he a liar, but he wants to give you in most cases, a smaller or used portion of the product. You get a used car that looks great, smells amazing, and then you finally sit in it a day in and already noticing every small detail. Like a gash in the seat...between your legs. Not crazy yet. Until your neat freak side, if you have one, switches into engage.
Processed Food.
Think about the food we eat today. Most of the stuff is preserved with chemicals and even bleached with the same stuff we clean our laundry with. More true than you believe (some "Natural" products are fraud). In any event, all of this information can be easily looked up all over the internet. What you eat and your habits are your gateway from living stress, toxin-free and overly-stressed, toxic.
Smoking and Drinking.
Stress-relievers, but if over-used, might take away any days left to enjoy and then some.
Notice, the best time for smoking is after you've consumed the drink and need to shake off the buzz. Well, at least calm it down. Personally, no matter how many times you can reach over to grab a cigarette, it tastes horrible and leaves the headache you thought you might get rid of. Not happening. Drinking is great when going out or attending a party. Everyone needs to get loose. But the two of these, when not doing anything at all, would be just like killing time. There is so much more in life you can be doing. Conquering fears, proving yourself worthy of things you want, without putting your life in the red. These two habits are also very very expensive. Think of all the other things you can be doing with your money. Saving, donating, retiring. One way or another you should be able to enjoy the habits you do have, but do not let a habit become a routine. Habits at one point were once in a while stress relievers and for the time being happy enhancers, but that only lasts for so long before the last straw on the camels back causes it collapse. Relief has it's price. This is one thing you DON'T want to afford. Rich or poor.
Budgeting is great. When you spend more time with the family, significant other, friends, or even at our workplace keeping busy or having fun without spending 1/4 of your ends. Budgeting helps you achieve personal goals you've always wanted to set for yourself without giving you a nasty overhead or a nasty fly on your back wanting to suck your life away with payments. Save up what you can afford to save. Exclude your long term savings.
Vacations.
Even if your not the type to go out to parties, beaches, or anywhere that you cannot stand too much of noise or people. These are great. No matter where you go, no one knows you, so if you happen to find a nice beach to read your books, not saying to be nasty to anyone, but stand your space and declare some. Especially if there's plenty of beach to go around. A nice mood-setting drink might be in order too. I'll take a corona and lime. The ice cream, too.
Am I telling you to stop your comfortable lives? Not at all.
What I do suggest is home-cooked meals, sports/games for the family, outings/barbecues, and positive out-looking for a self-dependent life. Be in charge of your own routine. Live how you want, but take care of yourself. That car can only go so many miles without maintenance.
The road that lies ahead is a lot bumpier than meets the eye; but when you train yourself to drive properly and safely, the odds of an accident or surprise is dramatically low.
And that's Real Talk.

These awkward days...
For most of us, the stress is piling up and we have nowhere to turn to but our peers, family, and significant others to let out the rage.
I say this to you all out there to keep faith no matter where it lies. We all have something in us that says keep going, don't give up.
What happens when the other voice starts to agree with your poor attitude? Then what? We can hide in a grave for a few years if we'd like to. I personally don't think that's worth a shot. We could sit and discuss with ourselves and whoever is of importance to your decision-making to organize your priorities. Organize your budget and your activities. Getting a better attitude starts from within, and sometimes ice cream or chocolate. But seriously, organization will keep you off your slump, and into a new idea. The voices will have less time to discuss anything. Just be sure to always keep the sane and responsible voice abroad.
A better attitude is the key to any success. Whether you've lost money, job, or someone close. The positive outlook will cure all of these foul-mood pioneers. Starting a new hobby or a new dvd might start it up. No one said to stop doing what you like doing: shopping for new toys, play guitar, etc..
Whatever your choice is, make it positive. And certainly make it last.
