What I Think About Life…
My Life!
Life is beautiful, it’s interesting, it’s mysterious. Life allows us to meet good people and others who are not so good. Life makes you dream, wish, and imagine a future full of joy and happiness. Life teaches you about the pain and suffering of other human beings, as well as the evil and bitterness that lives within many hearts.
Life has so many differences but at the same time, many things in common. Life never stops, we are the ones who give up and deny ourselves the power to achieve life’s goals! Life is an opportunity and you decide if you take it or leave it!
My life for many years was nothing but pain, anger, sadness, yet at the same time there were moments of hope, illusion, and human connection. There are many scars in my life from the past that still break my heart.
Seeing other people’s pain and reflecting on my own, I gained understanding and a willingness to seek help. I realized the need to heal the wounds that for many years drowned me in a void from which I could not get out of on my own.
My life is different now from the one I had for many years. Today I can listen, look, and feel what for many years was dead in my life. I am now living the desires of my heart, one by one. My life is not perfect, for I still suffer from frustration that at times keeps me from moving forward.
Presently, I’m in a phase of questioning, wondering how long will I be afraid? How long will the past torment me and deny me the opportunity to have a genuine smile?
Steps I have taken to live a well-balanced and full life include volunteering my time within my community and focus on building a healthy social life. This allows me to help others and network with wonderful and good people.
I know life is beautiful and my greatest desire is to be able to enjoy it as every living being on this planet deserves to!
