Snap...Crackle...Pop!

The human mind is a sensative structure. Far too often do we underestimate it's capabilities and it's strength. And far too often do we abuse it, thinking that we'll get away with it scott-free. I sometimes think of the mind as something that needs to be fed, nutured, and loved. Giving it is fair balance of nutrients and allowing it to dispose of the unnecessary. Granted some people's check and balance system is screwed from the jump and some of us just don't get it.


SNAP...Snap is sound you hear when you are first mentally pushed over your pyschological edge. It's like stepping on a branch as you walk through the forest. Although you continue to walk on, a butterfly effect has been initiated. Here marks the beginning of the process.

CRACKLE...Crackle is the more continuous sound you hear, when the snap is over looked. As you walk through life many branches are breaking. No longer are you able to hide the effects of the many forces that are contributing to you mental struggle. Some struggle to keep their balance and to appear normal. But those who know you well know that something isn't right. You appear to be a little less patient, a little more on edge, a little less compassionate. Some drink a little bit more, smoke a little bit longer, eat a little more often.

POP...Pop is fun! Pop is when the fascade is over. Fuck a branch, the tree has fallen. Pop can be heard by your friends, your enemies and strangers a like. Or it can be as silent as laying in a corner and crying alone. Letting out the emotion that should have been addressed at snap.

I thought about this SNAP CRACKLE POP, during my POP. And I said wow this started a while back and because I, in my own way, chose to ignore my inner self and I had to go through a far more exhausting process. I mastered the art of recognizing the inner pain and unhappiness of others, but failed to look at myself.

I of all people have learned that you have to listen to yourself. Your real self. Not the self that wears a mask for the world. When you don't pay attention to your body and your mind, you are bound for struggle and even failure. You must know how to cleanse yourself. How to discard waste. You must know how to rejuvenate yourself. You must learn you. And on another note, I've realized that being as that we're all kindred spirits, if you learn you, you'll learn alot about others as well.
