"People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that’s bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they’re afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they’re wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It’s all in how you carry it. That’s what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you’re letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain." ~ Jim Morrison

 

I wouldn't say that I'm starting my life over...more like growing from the pain.

And it feels good...most of the time.

I started this diary as I was ending an abusive relationship...writing has been my source of strength to carry on with my life. I've missed my family and my friends and all the adventures that we create together. Most are great; others, not so much. But they are worth telling, I feel. So here's a place dedicated to memories: to remind me of the paths I have chosen, conquered or learned from. No matter how awesome or how difficult the road before me turns out I know that it's up to me to push on through.

Everyone has a quest in life.

My quest is to love like I've never been hurt - my purpose and function is to grow to be the most of which I am capable, not for anyone's benefit but for my own and to the glory of my spirituality - to throw back my head and laugh at the sky because I realize just how perfect everything really is.

Life is beautiful and it's our choice to see that beauty. It is my intent to keep a Positive mind, to seek Truth Over Comfort, to come from a place of Love and to create Happiness in my life and for all those who enter it.

We all have a movie playing - this is mine.
