Without judgement, keep pressing forward.

-

When I began writing online in 2012, I never imagined how therapeutic it would become.  Of course knowing from a very early age that writing would be an outlet which freedom was granted in solitude.  

I started to create my own narrative by trying to live what I thought was a better life, always allowing room for error, admitting faults and making room for improvements.  

Life wasn't gifted to us to judge or condemn another soul as each of us have a struggle and weight to hold and perhaps help the other in times of need.  

Like everyone else, to have an opportunity to make choices independently, see the results and learn.  I don't want the responsibility of telling someone else they did wrong when I know full well I am capable of doing the same.. 

So, while spending time in this life, doing what we can keep trying, no matter how slow.  

I will do my best, and live what I teach and hope you can do the same.  Remember, there will be rocks, hills and storms to pass through, just keep moving forward.  



Nothing human can be alien to me

What love is

-
I’ve had this sorted history of what I thought love was and for the most part, when it came to romantic relationships I’ve not had success.  After leaving my last one, I became determined to never repeat this pattern and to work on myself first.   I’ve been doing this for just over a year now and I must say, the hardest part in life at this moment is breaking old habits.  This of course, has come with friends and family who have shown me unconditional love.  I started therapy shortly after returning, becoming accountable for my actions but also, allowing all the emotions that come up to be faced fully with questions and of course, answers. This weekend was no exception. I was with a friend and they showed me something I didn’t think possible.   How to breathe through my emotions.   Their grace put a wee bit of gold on the part of my heart I thought was never going to heal.  I wanted to run when they did something innocently.  I wanted to just be alone when they held me and told me to t

Becoming

Having several uncompleted posts as life was happening, I lost track of time and perhaps, a bit of desire to write.  As always, I write with honesty which I was struggling with.   Today, I had a session with my counsellor.  It was amazing to hear myself speak about my journey lately. over a year ago, I was deep within what I thought was a swamp.  I could barely see through the murky waters, struggling to fight the weeds that felt as if I was being pulled down.  I'd get a glimpse of light through and kept on fighting my way forward.  Once out of the swamp and weeds, I gained my foundation and started to work upwards.  The rocks beneath my feet crumbled at times, stumbling and of course falling to my knees.  I would take moments of rest for recovery, often giving myself the grace of tears.  Not wanting to look back in fear of what was chasing me, I kept forging forward.   Today, I spoke about the journey so far and with a burst of emotion let it out and saying;  "I may not be at

No room for shame

Shame.  It’s a heavy weight to carry yet we all do it. From being a young child to a grown adult, I look back and have felt this throughout life.  The shame though, isn’t on me completely and recognizing this now I feel free.   Why? Those choices I made were to survive and heal.   From what others choose and to that end, I recognize where the shame lies and for those who drove a nail deep down, forcing a hand to which I did not want to choose.   The most freeing part of it is that I will carry on.  To become more, to show others how to survive the storm of shame and to become stronger.   I am not what others try to define of me, I am what I choose and shame is not part of that path and has no room in my life any longer.
