Good bye

Wow! It feels so good to be back after a 'long' break. I hope to be more consistent this year.

GOODBYE

Imagine the pain we feel when we loose a dear person to death. Such horror, anguish and pain we feel. Some times we weep uncontrollably for days, weeks, months.
These people leave us without having the opportunity to say goodbye.

This is the same way our friends and family feel when we just leave their lives without saying "goodbye".

This days we find it surprising very convenient to just exit people's lives without even thinking of giving them any sort of explanation.

We just stop calling, texting and talking to them generally.
We assume that we have done the right thing.
We leave them sad, depressed and wondering what exactly they have done.
We make them feel like they are unwanted and too worthless for any form of explanation.

Why exactly we do this is what I can't figure out, could it be that we're immature or we're just selfish.
I think selfishness is the more plausible explanation.
We associate with them when it is of benefit or convenient for us. But when they no longer serve the purpose that suites us we turn our backs, being too selfish to say "goodbye".

Yes, I know sometimes we might have to stop being friends with some people, but I think we should be decent enough to say "goodbye".

I am guilty of this as well as a victim of this.
It is never okay, and will never be.
I'm learning, you should also learn this. I costs $0.00 to be decent enough to say "goodbye". My/Your friends are worth a proper farewell.

Don't leave like a ghost thinking they'll not notice. Don't be the reason for anyone's depression. Don't be the reason why anyone would loose faith in humanity or in men or women.

Say goodbye...

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...
