It’s been a dark life, friends, so glad that I am still here...as me...to smile with you all along your way. You really have no idea how precious this little thing is to me, how much it means to be able to still make someone smile.
Ahh...soon I go back into no-wifi zone. Don’t miss me too much, k? I’ll be praying for you all, so I won’t be very far ;)
Aye! @M.S.H., it feels good, doesn’t it? I’m still amazed how words written anonymously & crossing vast distances can somehow feel so personal, and warm.
Indeed, we all help each other slay our monsters, don’t we? :) Just a little bit of kindness and they evaporate in the light of love
Language has power, written/spoken whatever. Too bad some like to use it to drag you down, and some like yourself help uplift others and in the process may end up progressing themselves. Thanks for sharing your wise thoughts.
Yeah, you are right @M.S.H.! It’s just, you know, I’ve been surrounded by people who tried to keep me down. Like, it shouldn’t amaze me, but it does...that you say these thoughts are wise.
I’m sure one who knows wisdom as you do will understand what I mean by saying this, thank you for esteeming me. I receive your words. May you find yourself similarly received and accepted, ‘cuz you’ve got some good stuff in you :)
Home...oh, @Liv4ever, do you know that I am homeless right now? So, I get ya on that sentiment in a very real way.
Oddly enough, it was my first night on the streets when I first felt this thing called “home”. I found it in the arms of a homeless brother, as we held each other’s broken lives in each other’s arms.
Yeah, we were both there at rock bottom...no place to go but the cold. But in such a place, what do mistakes even matter any more? For a moment, we had each other and all the things that brought us low didn’t matter, because for just that briefest time...we had another soul who understood us.
May you find that place you are longing for. Everyone needs a home :)
@letter I didn't know that. I have no words to say. Being comfortable all my life, I can't even begin to relate to your situation. I sincerely hope things change for the better for you.
@letter No soul is forever doomed. Fate sets us up for our destiny by testing us with extreme adversities.. U my friend will sooner or later be rewarded for all u have endured!
Live well nd prosper bro
That's the weird thing @M.S.H., the way I feel now...I've found exquisite emotions in the meaning of all that is happening. Heh...I was about to write that I hope things don't improve and just got an email from my 'family'. Ehhhh, it was nasty :D
They really think I'm super dangerous, have demanded I don't even speak with my nieces anymore.
But, you can see my heart here...scribbled across these posts over the past month. The disparity between how they perceive me & who I really am is staggering.
And I just smile and laugh. I've got something real, something worth far more than anything they can take from me. All their vitriol just serves to further establish my faith. As such, I am thankful for the part they must play for my story to emerge like this.
I don't blame them, yeah...they've done terrible things to me, but they really don't know better. I continually forgive them in my heart and ask God to bless them...for my God commanded me to love my enemies. While I wish there was some way I could reach them, I know they just may be too far gone for me. My best wasn't enough, so, I'm here and they're there.
But somehow I'm happy, and they are all kinds of sad.
Aye! @Liv4ever! Aye! I know that in time I will see the fruits of my suffering. I just don't expect to see it in this life, such a hope could drive me insane...for unfulfilled hope can be a painful thing to bear, you know?
But my soul isn't doomed, if anything, I've been set free. Paradoxically, all this hardship does is make me feel better and better. Yeah, it's still tough...but as I pray, I change and rise above these seemingly oppressive things.
It's like they're attacking me on Earth, but I'm flying up here with angels lol. That kind of stuff just can't reach me anymore :D
