Hi @beautifulwreck! I've always been the vulnerable type, the girl who cries so easily and the girl who overthinks almost all the time. Right now, I couldn't help my tears from rolling down my cheeks as I read your write-up. Every single word resonates but what pushed the first tear to drop were these lines:
There's a roar in my chest, deafening, silent to everyone else who isn't me. It still puzzles me so much that they don't hear it. Or maybe they do, but it's more comfortable to play dumb. Been there, done that.
There was a time people couldn't figure out why I'm going through what I'm going through. And it saddens me to remember how difficult it was to fight in the dark alone. Whenever people would ask me "Why are you acting that way?" I wished I could tell them every bits and pieces of what's inside my heart and mind. But when I realized that not all of them would even bother to listen, I stopped. I stopped explaining myself. Instead, I moved forward and lived life the way it should be lived - always grateful for what's in the present, of those who stayed, of those who listened, of those little things that remained to bring joy, love and peace.
I haven't encountered an article so beautifully written for so long now. I hope to read more from you because you are a gem here. You writing this is a blessing to others, including me. Let's continue living life one day at a time. Sending peace and love your way, fella. ❤️
Hi Pat! Thank you for your lovely comment and for sharing a few of your life experiences with me. I'm honored that you found value in these words of mine. Like you, I'm a very emotional person: vulnerable, prone to overthink. Which I find to be beautiful traits, as long as we learn to flow with them without letting them drown us.
I liked reading this. Transmits peace, and even though I know not every day can be a bright one, I aim to live life as it should be lived, present in the moment and filled with gratitude.
I really appreciate you saying this. Your comment made me smile and gave me strength. As you say... One day at a time. Thank you! May peace and love come your way, too.
