RAMBLING- A.K.A LAWAARAA

 Hey Lilo and Stitch Fans,

Rambling is a big deal to some people. You don't even know that's what you're doing until it's too late. You do it nervously, or in excitement, and even in a panicked state of mind. Then you'll be labelled as being too much, too annoying, and a pain in the ass. You'll get shut down, shut up, keep quiet, and other lines that will flush your confidence down the toilet, and throw your self-esteem out the window. You know that carefully constructed tower of self-worth/belief in yourself crumbles down to the literal ground until you're swimming in rubble. You lie amidst the rubble and question who you are and how you managed to sink so deep into the quicksand for trouble-makers 101. What did you do that makes a person have disappointment for you in their eyes that are the windows to their complicated souls? Are you that socially awkward that you can't keep all the words under lock and key? 

Is it worth it if you lose your voice in the process while learning to fly under the radar until you're fading into the background and becoming unnoticeable? The answer is a big fat NO. You have to be able to articulate your emotions into a flipping monologue or soliloquy until you have an understanding with another person on a deep and meaningful level. You're not even trying to school an older person in your Asian community, but letting your strong, empowered voice advocate for you and another person allows you to open up the yellowed weathered pages of your closed book. Becoming stuck in the cocoon of silence allows you to drift into the void where you strip yourself of all the brightness that once gave you the ability to blossom into a social butterfly. It gets harder and scarier to put yourself out there cuz you know your voice will get stomped on since you're expressing yourself while getting all hyped up and then getting into that zone of rambling until you're on a roll. 

OK, it's time to get into the nitty-gritty of it, and give y'all some mad, eye-opening, jaw-dropping advice. Sit back and relax against those fluffy pillows and blankets, slide into your favourite pair of loungewear/PJ's/hoodies and joggers/T-shirts and jeans. Grab a bar of Bruce's chocolate, and listen loud and crystal clear:

'You have to find a safe space when it's getting too much. It's not your problem if you're digging trenches from here to no-man's-land. You might find it hard to catch your breath cuz your chest is getting too tight. You have to fight through the drowning feeling in your chest until you're able to get your head above the surface. It's about being able to let some things slip from inside the loaded vault that you have to be to get all the things that are weighting your down off your chest.'

Whoa! That's some one in a million galaxy advice. It's about subtlety, keeping everything up there in the cloud that is your maze of a brain isn't wise like a chinese granny. You have to blurt out a few crazy lines once in a while, just let the consequences be damned. It's about standing out and keeping it real while you're being as cool as a cucumber even if you're freaking out on the inside. You might be crossing state lines by branching out from being normal into the realm of freakishness and uniqueness, but why can't you be unapologetically YOU? 

I'll lay down some sick advice that'll make you stop in your tracks. Grab your fluffy pillows and weighted blankets. Munch on a cheese string. Slide into your fancy footwear. Listen loud and crystal clear:

'When you're flabbergasted and you feel like the rug's been pulled from underneath you, don't read too much into the situation. It's okay to crumble and feel like you're not setting the bar high enough. You can let loose and shake those emotions all over the place just like you're strutting your stuff on the dance floor.'

Wow! That was really something huh? You should be able to talk someone's ear off when things are not going your way and you're facing the toughness of life. You can scream your anxiety and panic to the roof as long as you know the stepping stones of how to handle it and be on the path to calmness and redemption. Rambling is your way of sorting through everything in your head and getting out into the version of your world that you wanna save and preserve to the best of your ability. It's difficult to navigate the mountain of work that you have  to do to become tolerable to another person. Being seen and heard is everything to you, so what do you do when it doesn't happen or go your way? You turn into a computer and shut down or go on sleep mode, cuz you're not completely sure which direction you can go in when your words are left hanging by a thread in the air ready to snap the elastic band of anger in another human. 

I gotta stop running off on a tangent. I'll let you breathe in the awesomeness that is the advice that I'm gonna give y'all. Sit back against those comfy chairs and relax. Slip into those go to hoodies and sweatpants. Munch on those cereal bars that you love. Listen loud and crystal clear:

'Step into the new and improved version of yourself. Be a revolutionary in order to believe in the words that you can use as a defense or an offense. You have to be the brightest ray that lights up a person's universe. Don't let this rambling ruin your chances of being square with a person. Re-ignite the spark that makes you come alive and shine until you're less of a blooming mess.'

Damn! That was some breath-taking advice if I do say so. Try and prove a person wrong if they're having doubts about who you're becoming. Be REAL with yourself, stay true to who you are. Follow your gut instinct and use your words to channel some positive vibes instead of being on the thread of negativity when someone brings you up in conversation. Rambling can be cute in those teen chick flicks you read online on Wattpad. Yeah all the females reading this will relate. It's about being comfortable in your outer skin.

I'll lay down one last piece of golden advice. Sit back and relax against those fluffy pillows and quilted blankets. Slide into your favourite pair of loungewear/PJ's/hoodies and joggers/ T-shirts and shorts. Grab a bowl of Tiramisu to gobble. Listen loud and crystal clear: 

'Hold your breath in to keep it sucked in so you don't have the old habit of sighing which dies really hard. Drill it into your brain cuz you don't wanna be labelled as a defensive teenager when you're actually killing it as an adult. Make sure you don't sob too much as well, cuz that will destroy your case of being totally normal and sane to another human in your life.'

I'll leave y'all with a quote that goes along the lines of:

'If talk is cheap, then being silent is expensive. And many people it seems, can't afford to buy into it.'- Anthony Liccione
