Worth doing!

Face my Fears...  — 6 months ago

Sometimes, I’m afraid of the Future… Exasperated Sigh…

I’m afraid of what I will lose.

You know I’ve fought myself out of some messed up stuff. I’ve held my head high even when I was kissing the ground, to weak, to tired, mentally exhausted, “I can’t take no fuckin’ more”.

Still I managed to “DO IT”. I’ve had very little and extremely hard times. {I believe most of us can relate… It may be different circumstances. But, we all know what “Extremely Hard Times”... is.

My innocence and trust was betrayed and stolen at an age that little ones don’t know what innocence even is. I’ve been through various abuses. Each has taught me valuable lessons, created whom I’ve became, who I will become.

I believe All the lessons in life are not easy, in fact… We grow more, evolve deeper, learn the most from the hard times.

How else will we know the true beauty of the mountain top, if we’ve never traveled the treacherous valley.

I’ve been used and abandoned in a maze of emotions that had the power to cripple me. I’ve been damaged and stitched back together in a haphazard way.

When you have nothing you don’t fear losing it. Life is just lived and you “do” what must be done for the betterment of those whom you love.

I fear the future sometimes. I fear what I could lose, how it could end one day, something tragic in my mind. You know how it is, when something is to good to be true. You expect the other shoe to drop on your head, or the carpet to be pulled from beneath you, sending you falling on your ass.

I have to face this fear, I know it’s silly. It’s just when you’ve gone through some NOT so good things, and have some damaged areas inside stemming from those NOT so good things.

You wonder if that damage will be to much to deal with. Will it drive others away, will they see the hurt child beneath the distance, Will they know that all you need is to be grabbed pulled close and held onto tight. Or will it drive a wedge so deep that your one chance, your last chance is lost forever and your future is no longer.

Yeah, I’m a messed up cookie sometimes.

What a great quote.

“How else will we know the true beauty of the mountain top, if we’ve never traveled the treacherous valley.”

Trudge on, Life is terminal, today is what you have.

I think cookies go great with milk.

LMAO

You are so Right… “Cookies are best with Milk”

Thank you for saying that was a great quote. Today is what I am thankful for, that is what this thing is about. Facing the fears and living this moment.

This stuff is all new to me. LOL

living in the moment

is much easier when the moment is in a peaceful state. Nothing like having peace of mind.

I get tired of preparing for tommorrow, especially when “tommorrow” was mis-perceived in the first place.

Life is a state of mind.

I have a customer that was inflicted with West nile disease. She was the first on in our area to contract it, and it damn near killed her. That was at age 70, now at age 76 she is going through the ungodly pain the back trouble can bring…In pain around the clock. But she carries a great attitude and stays upbeat as possible, never being miserable or bitter like many can get. I don’t know that I could carry on as well as her. But she sets a great example that no matter how miserable life is, it is still your state of mind.

IF you get a chance to read the “Rigoberta Menachu” autobiography, it most likley will shed a new light on life.

Keep on paddling, the current always changes ;-)

It seems the true character and strength

of a person is shown when they go through trials and tribulations.

It does not mean that they have a false happiness or that they are always smiling. Doubt and fear always have to be fought.

Ones true strength is NOT giving up, standing even when there is not strength to stand, to continue walking, trying.

Falling or failing is not the end or even something to beat ones self up about. It’s another opportunity to work at it again.

I know what you mean by the spirit of people being inspirational. I admire those who have struggled and continue to find a peace, joy in their heart.

Peace, Serenity, those are things I crave in my mind, spirit, life.

I will write that book down and put it on my list of books to look up when I can.

Thank you Ni.
