I feel sorrow for all that has happened.
It's not her responsibility to walk through all these dark places.
She says freedom...
Details of the night crisp in her head, but blissfully slide into vagueness as the taste of alcohol disperses from the tounge and fades
sinks
slowly from the blood
Leaving the mind free to place the details wherever they need to be in order to create the best possible narrative.

Christopher ... I can't presume to know exactly what thoughts you have inside, but I will tell you that most people have been through many of the same issues. Perhaps the issues themselves are demonstrated in different ways with different people, in different situations ... the best part is that you are allowing yourself awareness, and the willingness to acknowledge where it takes you. This is just one more step in the long journey of understanding and embracing who you are. The shame which hides in our secrets is often the very thing that keeps us from loving ourselves. You are seemingly breaking out of that shame, which is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYou know you can call anyone of us, the friends whom you've shared this blog with, at any time. I not only accept everything you are, but I embrace it as well. I may not understand all of it, but I can perceive that you are doing the best you can, all the time, no matter what. You do what you can to survive. Isn't that all anyone can ask of him or herself?
Sometimes the most dark and painful thoughts are the thoughts from which we are able to learn the most about ourselves.
