If your in a dark place
your enemies have you surrounded
lifes little BS's have broken the horses back
Get help
You are not alone
I will share what part of what I have been through
I went through hell a few years before I joined ATS
I got my ASS handed to me.. litterally
Everything gone
Stabbed in the back
left in the cold like an abandoned kitten
I am still here
new GF
New car
About to buy a house
In the process of starting a business
working on my writing
The reason is two fold and its old fashioned hard headed advice
Keep in mind the hard headed part and it may not apply to you
The hardest damn part to accept , but the most personally empowering part of it
I had got myself in the mess
Everything that had happened, regardless of being set up, lied to and given the big green weenie
My fault
No excuses..
Not an ounce of they F$%^ed me
All on me because I am the captain of my ship
It hurt (like a 9 inch nail in your bare feet)
and I tried to wiggle out of this
god did I
This idea of responsibility saved my ASS
You see if it is my mess
Their is a corollary that becomes important here
I can clean it up
I can fix it
I can also guarantee next time this comes around I will not be in the same position and will not play the cards the same way
They made a mistake when they screwed with me
I am still alive
I may be insane but my body is warm and my bowels work
Everything , and I mean everything else is only temporary
A few months ago I ran into some one who was in the same boat I was in
the differences were day and night
You see he blamed everyone else for the outrageous fortunes that hit him
He was out on release from jail again
We had a heart to heart and I saw the problem
He ended up trying to run for it and is sitting in jail
Same conversation with a neighbor who was on the other side of the law so I asked him
He said nope, my fault
Guess what
he is walking free and has two jobs
a new apartment and new Gf himself
I knew the second he answered the question that way
he was fine as a sweet red wine
So keep this in mind it is only temporary and requires only a temporary solution
If you are near the edge
pick up that phone and call a loved one
call a professional
make sure your id is protected but do nt give into the dying of the light
all it is is the goddess sending murphy to visit you
Reality check
Keep your nose to the grindstone
get help if it is required
I am sorry I high jacked this thread for this but it came glaring out to me
and it falls under loud signal coming through
I have to cleanse
I am going to let my inner lesbian leave you with her choice of music
She listens to this for the music
honest
In closing your magic word is perseverance
the single mother who gets up and raises two children by herself
The soldier on the battle field who doesnt fail because his buddy next to him is counting on him
The old grandfather who should be dead but swore he was going to see his grandbaby get across the alter
MMA fighter still on his feet because he refuses to fall to the ground
Thats your magic word
PERSEVERANCE
