Have you

Advertisements

Ever notice that when the negativity pours out, everything dims around you.

But it doesn’t last because positivity is always around, and someone will make you laugh when you don’t want to.

Or you may realize the lies you tell yourself are not valid.

So don’t give up even when the results are against you, for that will pass.

  1. cm writes – Joplin, MO – A lifelong desire of mine has been to write. As a child I wrote, even though it needed some pizzazz; but as a child, my abilities were very limited as you can imagine. Every person has much to learn, and I did that along the road to adulthood. I sure wish I kept them so I could us them for other posts. Fool that I am, I destroyed them. There were diaries through childhood abuse, tossed out. I guess that they served their purpose. Diaries I also kept through 2 abusive marriages and where are they now? They have all been destroyed, but yet I love to write. I guess that I didn't see any reason to keep them at the time, but as I write now, I can see the true value of them, precious. Here it is, the year 2025, and I stand transformed—a woman who has found her own voice and risen above the events that once shaped her. They have not defined me; instead, they became the ground from which my voice has finally risen. I have written six books. Had I clung to those diaries, I might have remained in the memories, circling them endlessly. But I did not stay there. I rose from them, and in rising, I found my voice at last.

    On negativity, yes, no one likes to be bombarded with negativity, and positivity only goes so far, because there in the middle is reality. Balance is the key.
