Hello Galenkp,
Always with these thought-provoking posts... look, in your mind is the cure for everything, physical ailments and spiritual ailments too. Just work on it. I believe in this. I have even checked it out. Although I have not been diagnosed with something incurable, I guess it changes people's perspective a lot.
Words shape thinking.
I wish you well and feel comfortable with your weight, your body in general.
And yes, I understand that I will die. And I don't let life drag me down in a general way. Although I confess to you that I have had critical moments since Covid broke out and I hit rock bottom. I say so in my posts. This thing about me not being able to hardly leave the house. I have been working on it myself, but I got sick yes, mentally I got sick.
So today I have it harder because I don't want pills or to go anywhere lookin for help, I am looking for the strength that is in me. And I think I have been achieving it.
In this process there have been people who have hit me, but it is what I said in my last post: forget and forgive.
Thank you G-Dog. Among the wonderful people who arrived in August, you are.
There is no cure for my condition and certainly none exists in my mind.
I think the covid situation affected many people around the world. It wasn't so bad here for most, the living arrangements here are somewhat different to in other parts of the world. It was an issue for so many though and I wonder what the long term implications of that has been.
I guess, we'll each deal with it in our own ways. For me, I enjoyed not having to go to work and had plenty to do at home. I was still able to hike, (I have a massive conservation park over the road with many kilometres of hiking trails) and with all of my hobbies , writing and reading too, I was content. I'm lucky I guess. (Although the whole situation was very depressing all round as well.)
It seems you're working through it and if you're able to do that internally then all the better.
I don't understand what you mean by this.
Simple, to find this place where I can dialogue with you through your posts and reflect. I said it in the first line of my comment.
Nothing special I guess, saying that I like to get to know Galenkp through his publications. We Cubans are sometimes very effusive. Sorry about that.
Well, there are things that cannot be cured, but a proper mental attitude guarantees a better quality of life. This is a complex subject to address in a commentary.
Ah ok sorry, I'd just finished up at the hospital and wasn't really thinking straight when I read and responded. My mistake, I'm a nutbag.
It's nice to get to know people in this way, across vast distances, and to learn people's differences and similarities; it's enjoyable. I'm really grateful to have met the people I have here and they keep bringing value.
There is no need to be sorry about this, it is a strength not a weakness.
Indeed, I agree. I wish there was a physical cure for my condition, but all that exists is risk-mitigation treatment and a better lifestyle. It's not been easy for me but I've worked through it and continue to do so. A good attitude helps, as I mention in this post.
Thanks for clarifying, I appreciate it and I'm sorry I misunderstood.
It's OK, I was just thinking about what I wrote. I was summarising August and there, in my post, I was talking about that. That I liked to surround myself with intelligent people who are always doing something to improve. Then I got comments and I responded to them. I came here connected with that, and I wanted to tell you that, as this month has been the one in which we have interacted the most, I counted you among those people who are important to me. You strike me as a discerning guy and I like your views. For the moment this makes you wonderful in my eyes. But don't doubt it, that when you piss me off a bit 🤣 I'm going to give you a downvote you'll feel it. 😂
Be strong. 💚
Awww...so sweet.
Fucken brutal! 🤣
Note to self: Don't ever piss nanixxx off.
That comment made me laugh, and I'm in a café on my computer right now so laughing out loud just looks odd. I don't care though, I am odd!
I appreciate your kind words, and the brutal ones too, I prefer people to open and honest, forthright.
That's me.
I prefer that too, be honest...
And the truth is, not everyone can stand me.
But then again... I think I don't have to be a honey pot for everyone.
;)
I think everyone could say the same, not everyone will appeal to everyone.
I agree, we all need to be true to ourselves and that'll not always align with other people's thoughts. I often talk about my sense of honour and integrity and usually write, as I see it, after it...that means that what I see/feel as honour and integrity, the values I live to, may differ to others...but I can only be true to my own. (Hopefully that makes sense.)
