Rainbows or waterfalls?

I slept in this morning. I woke up at 3:45am.

The song lyric of the day is-"don't go chasing waterfalls".

The voice chip in my head is also playing.... popping in and out and around my mind. I talk alot about my voices. More now than I ever have. Why? I think that if I talk about them enough they will leave me alone. Not many people understand the scope and gravity of hearing voices. Some say they aren't real. They are very real to me.

The voices I hear aren't God or the devil. They ain't angels or demons. They are people's voices I hear during the course of a day. It could be people on tv or radio (when the radio in my head isn't playing.) Or people from my past. A friend of mine died last year. I still here his laugh.

Even though I hear voices, I still manage to have a good life. I learned years ago, that if I listen to my voices, I will get sick.

At times I have to force myself to concentrate on something outside my mind, it could be music or tv, or doing housework. Cooking is a good way to stop the voices. (there is the food connection, bet you thought I wouldn't say it!)

Well this is getting long. Chase your dreams. Look for rainbows.

Live to see the beauty in everything, love the simplest things, laugh at how the world gives you lemons and make a lemon pie, learn that YOU are important, listen to the still voice in your head.
