Behind The Veil

Behind the veil-
It is where you reside
Behind the veil
Is who you are
This is an act
An act for the crowd

You're all together
Yet your head is scattered
In your heart
It's scattered into pieces
Pieces hard to put together
This is an act

What is behind the smiles?
The frown?
The Joy?
The Pain?
Faith?
Fear?
Love?
Hate?
The fake?
The real?

This is an act
Give them a show

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...
