" 'This is my simple religion.There is no need for temples,no need for complicated philosophy.Our own brain our own heart is our temple,the philosophy is kindness.' "
i'm quiet, simple, humble,kind,compassionate,passionate, empathetic, patient and very soft spoken..easy going,openminded,very individualistic and pretty laid back..very mellow i guess you could say (it takes a lot to make me angry today) and still somewhat shy.i am a very forgiving person,and the first to apologize and to admit when i am wrong.i experienced the ultimate rejection in life..a traumatic childhood without love..i was abandoned,neglected and abused.it gets worse. at the age of 10 my mother married a drunken pervert,there are no happy memories.i have always been camera shy, thats why you'll never see my picture here.(and besides,i dont like being stared at,it gives me anxiety,lol).(actually,truthfully,i know better to never say never,lol).i've been married for 23 years.we have two great kids.my son still lives at home while hes attending school,my daughter moved out a year ago.my husband is a recovering alcoholic,sober for nine years! amazing! thank god for AA! it works..but needless to say, much damage was done..between that and my lifelong depresssion things took their toll..we are both to blame..but whatever,we're each living one day at a time and peacefully..we are very supportive of each other today..we live we learn and we grow..never be afraid to message me,my door is always open,i am here to give and recieve support,helping others is what its all about...(nobody has to walk on egg shells around me)..its ok to just be yourself and to speak your mind..i am not one to ignore anybody..i might not be able to always respond right away,but i will respond..(silence sometimes speaks volumes)..the following is the only poem i've ever written..thus far..i wrote it about 10 years ago when i began to heal,to let go of my anger and to forgive...
A Little Girls Plea..
What’s the matter mommy?
Why are you so angry so unhappy
So sad?
I don’t understand why you are always
So mad!
Where is daddy? Why did he leave?
didn’t he love me? Was it because of me?
Tell me mommy! Tell me please!
Please don’t hit me I’ll be good,
I promised mommy I promised I would!
Please mommy!
Don’t lock me down there!
Its dark and lonely I feel so scared.
Please don’t tell me you’ll commit suicide!
What does that mean? does it mean you
Will die?
You cant leave me! I will stay by your side.
Please mommy don’t send me to school. I hate it there!
I can’t think! I can’t learn! i care only about you.
I loved you mommy! I loved you so much!
I needed hugs and kisses and a tender touch.
This is all I wanted was I asking too much?
I wish you could have loved me the way a mother should
But you didn’t know how. I forgive you for this
I forgive you now.
