Hi Tangie, You sound like you are at the end of something. I don't know you and I don't know your circumstances. But, why live in the past? Why not live in the present? Why not create something for the future? Why not give something of yourself instead of lamenting and regretting the past? Why not seek fulfillment instead of happiness (or avoid sadness)? I empathize with you but you won't get sorrow from me. You think you're poor but have you ever lived in a "third" world country? Life is difficult no matter where we live or under whatever circumstances we must deal with at any moment. If you feel like crying every night, by all means cry. Don't let your tears drown your life and don't let the past keep you from growing spiritually. So long as I have a breath in me and the ability of conscience I know somewhere, somewhere in this forsaken world, someone needs something of me. I know somewhere and somehow there is something I can do to make life better for someone else. Rather than centering myself on what I want, or what I wanted but can never get, I try to give of myself (talents and flaws). I try to give of myself not to make myself feel happy or worthy but to see what kind of person I am and what kind of being I can become. In all sincerity I wish you the best of luck. I hope you find some solace and some inner peace. |
