Today I am missing my people.. I have taken an amazing liking to a few wonderful people here on this site.. they know who they are. I am enjoying their company and conversation by the minute and wouldn't miss a beat if I could. I am learning a lot about myself and some of the things from my past that I need to dig up - release - and burry once again for good. Everyone has skeletons - 23yrs young and I shouldn't have this many. I know people with the same problems.. 38yrs young, 20yrs young.. we will get through it all. My money is on you guys, I know we will stand by one another and take whatever comes out way. I plan to be there now just as I always will. I am not a not a liar, swindler, smooth-talker - I am loyal. If there is one thing that will always be my best and worst trait - it is just that. I neglect myself to help others and there are SO many people in this world whom do that. It's good and bad and all of the in-between.. But I am here, as much as I might hate things everyday in my life - I am determined to be around for the long haul. I've missed and decided against opportunities to "check-out early" and there is a reason why. I have a purpose here in this life, on this Earth - until my body dies and my soul is reborn into something else.. I just haven't figured it out yet. But that is what all this is about.. learning and understanding until one day you realize what it is you are here for. I honestly can't wait for that day.. because its so hard on the days when you feel you are worth nothing to anyone or anything..I am still thankful for You though. Thank you.The song of the day it...  "Boston" by Augustana ..."You don't know me, You don't even care ...You don't know me, you don't wear my chains.."  Boston by Augustana In the light of the sun, is there anyone? oh it has begun...oh dear you look so lost, eyes are red and tears are shed,this world you must've crossed...you said...you don't know me, you don't even care,you don't know me, you don't wear my chains...essential and appealed, carry all your thoughts across an open field,when flowers gaze at you...they're not the only ones who crywhen they see youyou said...you don't know me, you don't even care,you don't know me, you don't wear my chains...she said i think i'll go to boston...i think i'll start a new life,i think i'll start it over, where no one knows my name,i'll get out of california, i'm tired of the weather,i think i'll get a lover and fly em out to spain...i think i'll go to boston, i think that i'm just tiredi think i need a new tow, to leave this all behind...i think i need a sunrise, i'm tired of the sunset,i hear it's nice in the summer, some snow would be nice...boston...where no one knows my name...

i think my best and worst trait is empathy. I used to feel the burden of the weight of the whole world on my shoulders. I would cry a lot because I could not fix things for the homeless and so many other reasons like that. I was so out of balance that I, too, would neglect myself to help anyone. It was a difficult path to bring myself back to the middle. Filtering myself from daily news helped a lot. And I just had to keep telling myself, \'whatever it is you do each day, is why you are here and feeling useless now is nearly impossible if I keep my eye on helping or reaching out to at least one person at a time. Just saying \'Thank you\' to someone or smiling when I really don\'t feel like it, helped also. It is hard to kick the low self-esteem when it bombards our thinking. I think that is why i create art and crafts. Even if what I do is not popular, I feel a form of satisfaction that I am making good use of my time, for my own enjoyment. Do you have hobbies you have let go of because of the low moods? Maybe pick up just one of them again. Start slow. And keep writing it all down to get it out of you and into the open world. It really makes a difference. I\'m sure you really make a difference to more people than you can possibly imagine. Message me anytime, I love to chat, even when I\'m down I can be a sounding board very well. Hope you have a wonderful day today.
