A note.

...
I don't
write for sympathy. I don't want you to feel sorry for me.
Though I am still (and always will be) healing, I know that everything
happens for a reason and my past has shaped me into who I am now.
I think if my life had not been as it was I would not know
how to appreciate the small things, I wouldn't see beauty in all
the ugliness.
I would be bitter, self centered, and ugly
inside.
Instead I have chosen to grow from my experience
of this lifetime, and see deeper than the average eye.
In
a weird way I think I needed to have a shitty childhood, to be able
to strive to always better myself. To be able to WANT to love myself,
and the need to seek spirituality.
I also suspect I would
not be a writer, had my life been different, I am inspired by pain.
My own, yours, every person I come into close contact with...It's
a universal fact of life.
I write, in hopes of helping
others, who maybe relate somehow, which in turn...heals me. If I
can help someone, then I've done what I've been put here to do.
This was in response to one of the comments on my last write.
I beg of you, do not feel sorry for me. There is a lot of tragedy
out there, people who are way worse off than I have ever been. I
have to remember that to stay grounded.
I am thankful for
each day that I have with the people I love. I think about and miss
the ones who are gone, on a daily basis.I miss them and it hurts,
but as I said before, life always goes on.
I have the best
three kids I could ever want. Never thought I'd have any. I love
them with every ounce of love I have to give. In fact I love them
so much it hurts sometimes. But it's a good hurt, and it's totally
worth it.
My life will be perfect (for me) someday. I am
still working on it. ;)

I really like what you've said here. I notice that it's the feeling of connection that I get that makes me love a poem. A kindred warmth that I feel for a favorite song.. You stated it perfectly.. ^V^

People want to be seen (and felt) as being empathetic to the plight of others. No need to explain the poetic license we usually take with our compositions. Glad to hear that all is well with you - now who is going to feel sorry for me, living in a house full of women?
