Worth doing!

Face my Fears...  — 3 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.

Comments:

You are

one amazingly strong and positive person!!!

YES your fears are real, and you can’t just make them go away.

BUT knowing you – you should realize that what you have can’t be beat. You can handle it all – and win!

I adore you Shoe...

Thank you so much for saying this to me. You have so made my morning.

I am answering your mail, just to let you know… I am PERFECTLY okay with what you said, and I changed a few things in some comments to make it better.

Smile… My computer was down for a while and I am having a tough time catching up. but rest baby… I understand COMPLETELY.

You have and are a true treasured friend to me. For True you are.

Thanx for understanding my paranoia

you’re a real friend….

Have a great day!! I’m logging off soon to have dinner with the family.

Don't mention it again.

I don’t even see it as paranoia. Just wanting 43 to be where you can come and talk freely. I feel the same way.

Kiss the baby’s for me and tell the little one, keep growing strong and healthy.

bluepark is.

I “shopped” you. This is the photo in your collection that looks most hopeful (peaceful,dreamy).I don’t think you are a messed up cookie.

Blue That is Absolutely Beautiful...

OH Man, I feel Weird saying that, cause it’s a picture of me… But, it’s not the ME I see when I look in a mirror.

That is VERY pretty. Can I use this as my avatar for a while.

There is something about that picture. It has always been one of my favorites, but you just made it SPECIAL

Thank you so much Darlin’.

bluepark is.

Yeah, of course!

It’s just a washed sepia tone w/ soft focus.I think this pic looks like you are laying out on the beach in the sun.

I am going to have to try that one

a couple pictures I have {not of me: my babies} It makes it soft and pretty.

Nicely done.

Uncle Enore is running for President. Just who the hell are YOU voting for?

I'm not sure I understand what you're talking about here.

Everyone gets hurt thru their lives, right?

I mean, some worse than others…but we all get it some way or another.

So, you have stuff in your background.

And?

Are you saying you now see a positive future ahead of you, but are afraid of losing it?

Well, jesus, Seren, join that crowd.

Everyone can be afraid of losing everything at any time.

Life’s a gamble.

You can smile all big and pretty and go running toward what you want and enjoy the wonder of your “new” life.

Or you can torture yourself with the terror of maybe losing it…and be miserable into the future.

Get a grip on your pretty self and relax and enjoy…

Or, maybe I didn’t understand what you wrote.

No, you've read it correctly.

I think it’s something just a little deeper. I just mean that what if the core of who I am is a annoying bother.

OH, hell never mind. I know “I just need to relax”

Facing fears is hardcore.

Smile.

Uncle Enore is running for President. Just who the hell are YOU voting for?

Well...my answer is still the same.

Everything is some sort of risk, baby.

What if, what if, what if?

So?

The alternative is what?

No risk, no gain.

And as for ME, I think you are just fine…just fine…

I am really glad you feel that way.

That I am just fine…

It makes me feel, I don’t know. Relaxed or something.

{I so wish we could spend more time together though}

I'm not sure I can tune up my bass for singing so early in the morning...but let me try...

Unc clears his manly voice…ahem…ahem…and hocks a couple on the floor…

Ok, let’s see how this goes…

Our day will come
And we’ll have everything
We’ll share the joy
Falling in love can bring…

Our day will come
If we just wait awhile
No tears for us
Think love and wear a smile
Our dreams have magic because we’ll always be
In love this way
Our day will come…

See?

Who says I ain’t romantic?

Now, show me some tit…

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.

Hey gorgeous.

Sorry to hear that you’re feeling blue. Sounds like you need a good hug. Here:

((((((((((hugs))))))))))

You know how much I love your

hugs Angel.

I’m doing okay, some what over whelmed with my first Micro exam.

There is so much info to be straight on.

Other than that, Life feels like the mountain top.

Life on the mountain top.

I like the sound of that! Will you be going back to visit your special mountain when you go home (or am I confusing its location?)?

Has the exam been over already?

The exam is on the 13th

I so love the number 13, so this could be a good Karma sign.

I don’t know if I can climb the mountain, but Yes.. I sure am going. I want to get pictures of it from a distance when you see the dune.

I have video I took before I left, but I want some pictures now.

I am so excited Lissa, so very excited.

A good sign indeed.

I have a feeling it will feel like coming home just to be there, without needing to climb to the top.

I feel so excited for you!
