Some things seem impassible...

I applaud your courage. We can never go back. Some may re-live memories with the same outcomes.

It is important that we each realize that there is no one more deserving of our forgiveness, patience, love, and kindness than ourselves. I believe that is a major stumbling block for many.

I tend to go off on tangents, I'll avoid that by just saying continue to be courageous.

…and I still remain

I would sometimes I would venture into those memories I lock away and find myself in the same position and with the same feelings and outcome. I would get scared to even begin to think about it. But I learned to think of these things as a lucid dream.

I was and still am my worst enemy. And my enemy would sometimes like to bring back that pain and sense of helplessness.

I intend to make myself my own best friend so that these things and new experiences, good or bad, can become something for my own betterment. It sounds and feels like an impossible task... Believe me.

I thank you though for your feedback :)

For whatever reason (here you go, anyone with thoughts on anthropology!) we almost always seem to be our worst critics. It is quite sad that we often don't consider treating ourselves with the same grace as we do with others.

It seems to be the common root for most of people's problems...

It may seem silly, but I try to smile a lot. I never know when I'll be making a memory for someone. Besides, it confuses the heck out of people!

I understand you there, believe me. Maybe I could make myself believe I really felt that way.
