From The Mouths of Babes

One of the gay porn stars I represent through my DV8 Casting management company, Jason Pitt recently gave a convo to Gay Porn Star Interviews, which you can read by CLICKING HERE.

I was at first just scanning the article when a quote jumped out at me that I had to read a few times over to actually believe it came out of this 20 year old's mouth:

"Everything has something in common. Everything is on a balance. Everything has something good and bad. So, the main part of my belief is balance."

Wow. My eyes welled up with tears when I read it. Had I known that at his age, the relationships, friendships and partnerships I've had in my life over the past decade would have all gone very differently. It's so easy to make a swift judgment and deem some thing or someone "good" or "bad." With my spiritual beliefs, I know wholeheartedly that there is good in all things so that has never been a problem for me; however, when it comes to every day life, I am very much an extremist. When I see a lot of good in someone, I start to see that person as being completely perfect. When I see a lot of bad, I find a way to write them out of my script. And I'm not sure I can even tell you which of those things is worse. By seeing only perfection in people, I set them up to fail a test they didn't even know they were taking and set myself up for consistent disappointment. By writing people out, I don't get the opportunity to experience what good they had to offer or what even their "bad" may have had to teach me.

I guess it's really true what they say. I think we're all blessed with some things that come very naturally to us while we are also given our own personal challenges to conquer in this life. I'm sure there's many things difficult for him that came very easily to me at 20.

But that one demon of mine in particular just happens to be one I've personally chosen to do battle with at the moment. It's taken me this long to be able to even figure it out, so to hear someone 10 years younger than me say it and articulate it so beautifully just made me very nostalgic with floods of old stories with different possible endings. How I could have handled things differently with so many people.

And by so many people, I mean everyone! LOL

Ah, but today is a new day! ;-)
