I Realize That I

[Deleted member 28403]

I realize that what is happening is not completely in my control, and that I need to forgive myself if I can't do everything.

I realize I'm standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned
A sun that is the source of all our power

The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour
Of the galaxy we call the 'milky way'

Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide

We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point
We go 'round every two hundred million years
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe

The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, the speed of light, you know
Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is

So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth

I realize that I have learned a lot of hard, painful lessons this year: you don't know what goes on behind closed doors. You need to ask questions. You can't just let your kids go off anymore cuz it's just not safe.

The hardest thing I've come to realize is that you think you know someone and you really don't. It has rocked my sense of trust about the whole world.

@Saelben : I realize your poem is a great work. Good job! :hug:

I realize that I can be a bastion of calm, a role model and a strong woman at the same time. ...and it's not so difficult at all. :x3:

I've just realised, after talking to my sister, while she was here for a week staying with me,............ "that I have to change my life" ......There is no one to help me, see me through the bad times, and pick me up when I fall.

It's all up to me to do it all now, I don't have my late wife to look after now, I have to find my own way and create a life, there is no one to share it with.

I think I realised that today, so I went out, even though I didn't need anything in, I just went for a walk around the precinct, sat on a bench and watched the world go by.

Believe it or not, it did help me!

I realize that I just might get through this... Maybe?

...that I can get better.

I realize that I have some serious issues and that I'm responsible for their resolution and my own healing. Grace has held me aloft so far and still continues to stand by me, but now it's time to get my hands dirty and get down in the quagmire of my life so that I can have better days. VB

I realize that I'm a failure at so many things that are important to me

 

[Heather]

That I did the best I could but it wasn't good enough.

Am gonna fall asleep at some point today, probably at school.

I realize that I am probably clinically hypomanic. That I need supports and to ground before I implode. That I am grateful, ashamed, happy, and hopeful. That I can be broken, just need to trust. Trust... I realize that Im a good person. Or no not sure. I realize there's a lot I need to learn.
