To my dear friend. (2)

Dear friend,

This is my story.
I want to tell you all of it.
I want us to live the days of the story together.
All the time you've missed, I want you to have back.
I want to us to sing
and cry
and laugh
and dance
and love
and pray together .
I no longer wish to feel, alone.

I will tell you about my day.
I will tell you the story.
I have nothing to hide from you.

I thought about you all day.
I craved your company throughout the day. I thought of how much I want to tell you but I do not know if you still recognize the sound of my voice.
I do not remember what your voice sounds like either.
But the sound of your words, I remember.
I wonder why we have not spoken in a long time,
a time long enough for Methuselahs to live .
I wonder why we have nurtured this silence,
this silence so loud the world can hear.

Some might feel it's stupid of me to talk to you again, skeptical of your position in this friendship, "your friend may not be the friend". But we'll prove them wrong.
You are still the friend -my friend.
I know your words are still full of wisdom, wisdom that can never turn foolish.

I want to tell you about my day.
I want to tell you about the previous days too.
I have nothing to hide from you.

My day was long - this made me think for long.
I thought of you and my fffriends.
I haven't seen you in years but I still believe in and love you.
But I see some others everyday day and feel nothing like I feel for you. Why is that? What is it that we have that makes me never want to forget you.
We are friends indeed in deed
and need,
not for benefits.

I still want to tell you about my day
But I can't help talking about you my friend.

I do not know what I would do without you, my friend.
Yet I have failed to tell you about my day.
I want to tell you everything you've missed..
I know you'll listen to me again tomorrow....

                                  
             Your Friend in need

I Blame Myself

One empath struggle I constantly battle with is always feeling responsible for how I am treated by others. When someone does or says something hurtful to me, my first thought is that I caused it. "If I had respected myself enough to establish boundaries, X wouldn't have had the audacity to do this" "If I had worked harder on my career, I wouldn't be here to receive X treatment" The crazy list goes on... Once in a while I speak up immediately but most of the time I blame myself. I always expect more from myself and feel I shouldn't have put myself in a position to be hurt. Writing about it now makes me realize how hard I am on myself. It just doesn't make sense to be hard on the one person that you have. The one who's been with you true thick and thin - YOURSELF. How hard can it be to be kind to yourself?

2021.

The prodigal son is back again. I have no idea why I keep ghosting you. I hope I stay this time.  A lot has been happening, one minute I am optimistic about life and the next I doubt my life choices.  Although I know I have made more of good choices, I can't help beating myelf up at every mistake.  Making mistakes make me feel like the dog that goes back to it's votim- silly.  Here I am moping about just one error, unable to engage in any useful task. It's funny how I can type here but cannot carry out my writing tasks. Anger is truly semi madness. Pardon my rustiness, it's been awhile I let my feelings out.  

I have Proof

I have proof that there's no need to worry about anything. I have proof that God has given us everything we need to live a happy life. I have proof that God gives us everything that is essential to the fulfilment of our purpose. Before I show you my proof. Let me ask, why are you sad, worried and depression? I'm sure your answer probably sounds like "because I DON'T HAVE..."  It's the things we don't have that cause us sadness the most. The things "God hasn't given us" that cause most of us to become depressed.  We somehow have this ideology that our happiness, joy and fulfilment in life is dependent on the acquisition of things that we don't already possess.  "Once I get that degree, I'll be happy and get a good job" We get the degree, only to find out that it doesn't guarantee a good job. We are disappointed but we fail to learn, so we begin the cycle all over.  The next phase might be, "once I get a good job, I...
