The hardest things in life........................



Tae Sung's Peculiar Life: Chapter 7: Tae Sung shares an evening with his grandfather and brother.


The hardest thing in life is remembering...what was, what could have been.....regrets....

Tae Sung's Peculiar Life Book 2:

"180 Degrees"

Prelude

"I keep waking up in someone else’s dream. Yesterday, all I worried about was about ‘how’ I would live with my ability to telepathically connect with others. Stupid stuff! Like; ‘what would my friends think?’ How do I balance my ability and not let it overcome me? School…girls...friends….my hair, working out and wishing I would grow taller.

I don’t even care. It seems so miniscule next to the larger picture of my life now. I want to go back….just to see you….to hold your hand….tell you I love you….tell you I am sorry.

Sorry for being so self-involved that I missed out….on YOU…..all of you…..I can’t cry….I have nothing left….a complete 180…."

Those days are so far away now, and yet I miss you so..

How to become authors- Writing About the Difficult Things

Elizabeth's thoughts...life... Of all the self improvement books I have read and 'how to' do this or that; it seems that often they have a common theme. Keep a journal, write down your thoughts and don't over think it.  Recently, I took a "Master Class" taught by a renowned author Joyce Carol Oates based on her book; "The Faith of a Writer: Life, Craft, Art" .   One thing that stuck with me was her message that to be a successful author, you have to write about the difficult things. Confronting the taboo topics no one wants to talk about. She suggested that people read to align with life issues that they have no outlet for. I have pondered this notion a bit and what I have come to realize that it is truly much easier to write about the beautiful sunsets and happy events. It takes courage and transparency to write about your own private 'life events.' I am addressing the times in one's life when you thought you would surely die...

 It's SOUP Season!!! And there are a lot of different types of soups out there!! Well, being an author and and educator, I seem to use a lot of idioms and metaphors. So, I was thinking of 'soup idioms' and how a few of them spoke to me beginning in November! First I was struck by "to soup something up" while listening to a YouTube guru suggesting I need more exercise!  "Gotta soup up my exercise." ....hhmmm....truer words have never been spoken! I was so motivated that I took the cellophane wrapper off my Jane Fonda VHS aerobic video! Jane and I go way back and she has been packed and moved more times than I care to admit. I guess I should let her go....can't find my VHS player...or the 8 track to play my Foreigner 4 and Toto tracks on...dang where does the time go?!! Did I just hint at my age? Huumppff...think I will have some "Giggle soup!" ( also know as an "old fashioned" alcohol drink) SHOUT OUT LOUD!! I FEEL LIKE WHACKING A ...
