    The Neglect Factor

    It’s a move that most of us utilize when we’re not sure of what’s to come. Personally, it starts with procrastination, avoidance if you will. I started this GetThePicture blog as a forum for outside discussions on the things that not only puzzled me, but made me laugh, ponder, irritated and everything in between. But over the course of the past 4-5 months, I’ve come to realize that the “Neglect Factor” was hitting home base with this very outlet.

    It’s not like there were any politics involved on this side of town like some of the other endeavors I frequent on a daily basis, so what gives? What’s the reason for me putting this off when in actuality this was the escape I needed from certain things occurring in my life? Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not landing on the dock of “Oh, everything in my life is in shambles” but there are certain times where it’s good to write things on paper (or in WORD) to get a better scope of a bigger picture. Something I was VERY afraid of.

    Was it the fact I was running from something? I’m starting to believe THAT’S what “The Neflect Factor” boils down to. When you neglect things, it’s almost like you’re running from something or someone. Could it be the possibility of whatever running from could change our life dramatically? Are we not prepared for that change which in turn ignites us in becoming the neglecter? Have we screwed up on something so bad that we know in our mind, body and souls that there’s not one possibility of that issue returning to normal? What the hell gives? What are we afraid of?

    I can tell you, I’ve been neglecting a couple things. I’ve neglected the feelings of certain issues/people around me because of what that outcome might be. Instead of saying I’m scared, I just turn the other cheek and politely act as if that issue was never an “issue” to begin with. Not fair- I know. Life can be a bitch can’t it? But there are two sides to every story. And as much as I’ve neglected certain things, I’ve felt the same energy dealt my way. Some as a result to my doings, but others, that energy given is a mystery.

    I could go on for days bout neglect, but it wouldn’t solve anything but take me back down a road I had no business traveling on in the first place. To those that I’ve neglected, forgive me. Forgive the fact that I didn’t know how to approach things with caution and explain my concerns. Forgive the fact that I alienated this platform because I was too selfish and scared to lay out my issues which might have helped you further the process of solving your own troubled equations.

    I’m no one’s savior, but I do realize it’s the smallest things that can help people through. And judging by the handful of requests for the return of “GetThePicture”, I completely understand my confused and scattered thoughts helped iron out some of your wrinkled ones. It was the confidence and display of open emotions ( UGH, I sound so much like Sherbert right now) that urged you to do the same in your own way. Trust, no more neglect. *Pinky Swear*

    K.Thx.Bye

    Sincerely
