Life is telling me a story...
It all started years ago when I was in my early 20's. It was like a truck hit me across the pavement and I got brain damage. Everything I knew in life was a settled hault. Trauma that I experienced had no end. A part of me had lost all hope and another part of me gained hope.
I was diagnosed with schizo-affective bipolar 1 when I was 22 years old. I started to experience different sides of life that told me who I would become to be. I lived in a bubble that never popped; I relate that to unknown happiness I never knew I had, excitement to thrive on a world that I called my own, yet also, deep scary reminders that I am nothing close to perfect and the demon of my life was content with my unworthiness trapped in a bubble. Good or bad, I started a journey. It began recondulsing my childhood experiences, going through regret of what I did wrong as a teenager, and at the same time, I experienced everything this bubble of a world that told me who I was, transformed me into this subject of matter of belief, disbelief, hope, and death.
I think to myself, how can any of this make sense? Well it does. I think every story has a cover to intrigue you to read and my cover is black to my demon saying, The beginning of the end, and my hope cover says, I can be anything I want to be. I go back and fourth with these 'headlines' of my story/journey. I am at the point of trying to release negative emotions and stand up for myself on my positive side.
I am a student studying digital arts/design. I have this ambition that is incredible to look forward to life to live in. I still have a lack of mobility that says, "This isn't good enough and you cannot think that you can change." I automatically think of my trauma and how innocent my life reflects off my heart. (Without saying screw the world, I say, thank you world... my heart wants to welcome you home).
Visions are aligning to ones' belief.
What you seek can be seen with love.
And this... is the journey I call home.
Hi @imaginethestrength :)
Thank you for sharing that beautifully written piece of your heart and soul.
You're right in saying that life most definitely is a journey and some people see the unknown that lies before them with fear. For some, it's from looking behind them at the road already travelled and seeing the things that frighten them from their past. Considering the past to be self-fulfilling for the future.
I don't necessarily believe that and think of the road ahead as being just what it is unknown. And the unknown has both opportunities as well as pitfalls. The words that you used suggest to me a sense of optimism amidst the trauma that you've suffered and your present struggles. That's an important lesson that you teach for us all. Thank you.
Ps. You're a gifted writer :)
@Roadie ---- Thank you for the kind words. As tonight is settling into a reflection period for a new uprising experience I'd like to try and gain, this enlightenment made my night!
Take Care :)
My pleasure @Imaginethestrength
It was great to read from you again :)
