I'm like a pencil;
sometimes sharp,
most days
well-rounded,
other times
dull or
occasionally
broken.
Still I write.

Just because people agree with you, doesn’t make it right.
For instance, I might say The President of the United States is a deranged, ignorant bigot, with no regard for the diversity and fragility of the human spirit, and there are people who may agree with me.
But, that doesn’t necessarily make me right.
Just as Donald Trump stated over the weekend (and several times before) that many people agree with his (continual and persistent) racist comments.
It does not mean he is correct.
You cannot believe the logic of what is right or what is wrong, based on one man’s opinion, even if he perceives that many, many people agree with him.
You, deep within your self, have to know what’s right, and who has been wronged by opinions, regardless of how many people are in agreement.

The first thought, the
first sip, the first cup
of the day only lasts
so long. . . but the
feeling, any feeling, or
emotion, lasts as long
as you like, as long as
you care, or as long as
you remember to
make it last.
Feelings are what you
think, what you know,
and always what you
remember about
anything or anyone.
Family, friendship,
love and gratitude;
think good thoughts
today, and every day.
Make them last as
long as you want, and
remember them for
as long as you can.

Those problems, issues, misunderstandings, and shortcomings that have dogged you over the last while will continue, as they have, until you find another way of getting around them.
There were certain circumstances in place when you first encountered your difficulties, and those situations may (or may not) have changed, but your need to resolve those challenges has never wavered.
It’s not that you have to wait until those predicaments are settled, you simply need to look at them from another angle.
You may have to ask for help.
Talk to a friend, a co-worker, even a total stranger, to get another perspective on your problem(s). A new set of eyes may look at things differently.
Another view may help you see your options in a new light.
