Walk with mental illness and addiction

Light vs. Dark

Image
I will be the first to admit that I played with to much darkness. It was all consuming. It was easy. Living in the light with positive intention has not always been easy. It takes conscious awareness day in, day out to realize and accept we are energy. And energy can be bad. You know me by now, and know that I love quotes so here is a great one. "There is a battle of two wolves going on inside you. One is bad and one is good. Which one will win today? Answer: The one you feed."  I think because my mind was so jarred at the young age of 11 and the things I was hearing and seeing made the darkness thicker and blacker. Hope was becoming a word that I gave up on. The darkness loves brokenness. I have been thinking about things a lot, to the point that I think I am excessively alone. But I am comfortable in my silence. I am very strong and out spoken. I am a truth teller and I am working on incorporating love in my words, But I am not done learning what love is.

Humble

Have you ever read something or listened to something and thought "I need to share that on social media because someone needs it?" This is where I have found myself. Thinking that I no longer need teaching. Thinking I have learned all I can learn and I know so much that its time for me to give my knowledge to the world. LOL.

That it is me who actually needs what I am sharing on social media. It almost got to where I wasn't even listening like a student I was listening like a teacher and a master. Saying "yeah so and so needs this" instead of accepting that I am the one needing it. There is one thing that is very easy to do when you are helping others is to become too big for our britches.

Empty Holes

I recently was humbled to the fact that I am worth having some pretty good friendships. I spent quite a few years not having to many people around me, especially females. But I had recently been connected with a couple of women who, to say the least, has brightened my life. The blessing of a friend that I can call and who cares just like I do is simply put, amazing. I honestly thought that I was doomed to be completely alone for the rest of my life. But honestly it has just taken a lot of time for me to reap what I sowed. This right here could be the top reason for wanting to stay where we are at in life. At least for me anyways. It seems to take longer to make life right then to live in the fact that we are not worth a good life with good friends. So we stay in our mess because that seems "easier". It takes much more effort to live in the light than in the dark. It takes really knowing that you are worth it and you are not willing to sacrifice your self worth any longer. But...
