Shannon, I came into this world with much the same understanding. I retained that understanding and over the decades have been met not only with harsh criticism, but just plane meanness. This particular experience with life has just broken my heart.
I'm no saint, by any means and there is a lot of frustration. But my cargo within carries pure, litterally radiant love, especially with those close. There is the desire for healing of people, wanting to help, protect, dry tears, offer understanding and insight when someone comes to me and is pain.
On the outside, it's met with scoffing, alienation, criticism especially from my in-laws. It's boring that I don't find it interesting to play 7-14 hours of video games during my spare time and I don't conform very well to dysfunctional relationships or people for that matter. I can't seem to find the point.
I've even made myself watch Maury Povich just to see what it is that is so tantalizing about a woman that cheats on you again and again and again and makes person keep going back for more - or man for that matter. My world is left is left, right is right and that makes a lot of people very, very uncomfortable.
The dreams and feeling (physical and emotional) are so true. There's nothing you can do about them either. Thanks for sharing that.
I find myself even at crossroads at times as to what is the difference? What's the point of going on with this. In the Medium, Allison turns to alcohol to drown it all out. I can certainly understand why.
I had a cancer/type lymphosite thing going on with me about 10 years ago. I was told they weren't able to say exactly what it was because it didn't follow all of the familial traits of the cancers known. I asked point blank why the doctor wouldn't put a name to it. You know what he said,?
"Because if I do and it's not that, then you can turn around and sue me. But you need to make arrangements." Nice.
SOOOoooooo, ya. I turned ot the inside. What made sense - because everything and everybody in my life didn't. I realized we had BIO-chemistry before synthetic. That and that I also realized we are like 80% water or more...I don't know. So, 70 gallons of water a week, herbs, teas and cheese??????
My feet and arms were curling up and everything in my body hurt. My hair was falling out. I couldn'thold a toothbrush and I stuttered. It took 8 months and a lot of visual techniques and I got better. This was all durning an abusive relationship, so no support whatsoever. My husband then actually stepped over my body when I collapsed at our lake.
If I can come back from that, I just know you can too
