Thanks gang!

I originally joined this site last fall during a very dark spell. I found myself wanting to encourage others, particularly younger folks, who I feared were discouraged and without hope. Then I lost my “remembered” login password, and when I had it, I couldn’t login because the site was unavailable.

But, here I am again. I know this site can be a good place to vent or bare ones soul, and I hope it is frequently used for that, rather than a last plea for help, because … it’s the f—— Internet, and we can’t give one another a hug, or look into each others eyes and see one another.

For me, replaying old tapes, and listening to a negative internal dialogue doesn’t help, yet I know that stopping a vortex of negativity can be difficult, and we aren’t typically taught anything that useful in our schools and families.

While it seems like a no-brainer that we may have chemical imbalances in this increasingly toxic industrialized world which lead us to depression, I think our thoughts can create imbalances too.

Drugs can help for a while, but I can’t help but wonder if part of our life’s journey and purpose is to grow in our consciousness to deal with our emotions. It may be, that I brought in a sense of hopelessness to this life from the unjust death I suffered at a young age in another life, and that my soul needs to learn to grow in order to avoid a rerun.

So, in order not to be hypocrite, I’m going to sign off for a while and practice three things that have helped in the past. I don’t expect to be healed or have all my problems solved. Unfortunately, they’ll probably all be waiting for me, but maybe if I can get some tiny workable shift, I’ll be able to carry on a little further.

Peace, love, and compassion to all of you.
