I wrote about this before as the first chapter of my short story begun that way. the SETBACK...
it was a very dark chapter of my life and I'm still experiencing its ramifications to this day.
in 2009 when I was 16, my parents got divorced and they were covering it up (mainly my mom) and I kinda felt severe guilt by providing an easy entry of that "witch" to our family. it started back when I was just an infant,
that date was kept in mind because of its massive traumatic events and consequences. it was like a wrong turn with me having a flat tire, so to speak.
my father used to own one of the largest businesses in the country and very strong connections. the guy literally felt invincible. and that is the very same thing what brings nations to their knees. Ego and ungratefulness.
of course it was a long time ago and I really don't give it much attention or out of the same view of sorrow and melancholy. and everyone of you can relate to that. a shift in consciousness and perception is now if you wanted to turn around you'll turn with a tilted head and smiling back at your old self.
you're not the same man as before. you don't even recognize yourself when some elderly decides to tell people a story about you, you oddly realize that's not who I am and who's that guy ? you even feel some hatered an pity your older self. just by PASSING BY...
You're a strong and determined man now with so much to live and to offer to others. Your heart is mild and your character has strength. It's pure happiness to have come to know you.
Thank you for this text. And...feel free to thank yourself for all the years you have been there for yourself as a true friend and guide.
thanks for the lovely words @regenerette I'm thankful for your friendship. You're the kind of person who keep pushing people forward. after all it's literally a job of yours as happiness manager.
Cheers&Hugs
