Have You Ever...

"Have you ever?" is an icebreaker type game. Teachers or leaders usually get group members to participate in such (usually unbearable [to introverts] ) activities to get to know everyone in order to feel closer, or accomplish things in a more open and honest environment. 

Questions are usually selected to avoid humiliation, ridicule, or embarrassment.

Now switch gears a little bit..."Never have I ever," is a more "scandalous," if you will, icebreaker game for parties...more of a drinking game. 

It can even get competitive as people who have not done what was stated prior-- have to drink, etc...

My life sometimes feels like a cross between these two "games." Except, these games play out in my mind: in bed (while trying to slumber off into dream land), or obsessing during the day. Have you ever thought about this? Have I done...Never have I ever done this... Society is so full of expectations. They can literally drive us crazy. 

Do you go with your head or heart? Should you follow your dreams or be much more logically minded? Comparing ourselves with others' situations is horrific personal torture as well. Why do we do it? We all do. Come on. Admit it! Or, if you are super evolved--you might remember having done this prior!

Also, while we're at it...don't say such cut and dried words like "never!" We change by the minute, hour, day, week, year, and so on. What you may NEVER have done in the past, may change as you grow and change. You may have a new opportunity, meet a new person, have a tragedy occur, or just experience a life changing event. If you box yourself into an inflexible little "never-land," you may miss out on an experience, person, dream, or LIFE! 

 

Dealing with some personal things right now...that will remain undisclosed. Blogging really helps me to organize my thoughts.
