As I posted in the other bumped fortune cookie thread, my fortune today was "Your emotional nature is strong and sensitive."

And it really is. I come off as a strong willed, evenly tempered and well thought out individual (when I'm not fucking a shoe, fixing a plate of food around my penis and shoving my pecker into a copper pipe), yet I really am emotional and sensitive. I have a very emotional nature and it's gotten me hurt a lot in my past. I've more often fallen victim to withdrawing in my pain and not saying anything. Just fade into the shadows and hope not to be remembered, while wishing someone would notice and say "I'm sorry...you weren't supposed to be hurt by that and here's what I'm going to do to make it better." That hasn't happened and it's been my fault for allowing myself to slip into the background instead of speaking up. But on the other hand...there's so many good emotions too. And I'm glad I am wired in a way that lets me enjoy them.

Sooooooooooo...I guess fortune cookies can be right, huh? ha ha

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.
