If I Could I Would..

[Heather]

I'm not sure which one I want more.....If I could I would erase the past 2 years. OR If I could I would speed up time and get tomorrow over with asap.

 

[Heather]

If I could I would end my daughter's suffering. I feel so helpless. Don't know what to do. She is crying again.

 

[Ronin]

Don't know what to do. She is crying again.

A reminder some times, all it takes is despair filled crying together.

You're there. It's so much.

If I could, I would have an art studio. In the forest.

 

[Heather]

If I could, I would.... I don't know anymore! Feel so helpless.

 

[Marie E.]

If I could I would :

Be functional to get a job.

I would stop being afraid for once, even socialize.

Ask a man on my level for a date.

Be the best in martial arts.

Become a freedom fighter. Save my kids.

 

[Ronin]

If I could I'd find a way how to better fit freedom fighting with society.

(Note to self: Diplomacy & communication above headdesks and irritation, and education is the mighy ring ruling them all.)

Edited to add, @Marie E.: You are /already/. By 'simple' living, working on yourself, helping those in need. You're already doing what 'fighting for freedom' is supposed to be.

Long redacted rant on 'freedom fighting isn't necessarily a GOOD thing, keep it at the level it IS a good thing, and you are there, now.' & Self improvement is all the noble paths you need do. :D

 

[Ronin]

Be the best in martial arts.

Nothing like that existing, dear.
There's always something to learn, and someone to learn from.

And then times life just sits you on your ass as nobody's 'best' around is good for jack. :cautious::banghead:

 

[Heather]

If I could I would: Hand all of this over to someone else to deal with. I'm tired. No, I'm exhausted.

Fighting for justice is overwhelming and scary. Where's that inner-strength when you need it?

 

[Ronin]

Where's that inner-strength when you need it?

In getting through each day, in still keeping at it even in days one feels utterly useless and like time is wasted, in waiting, in -- TLDR, you're doing it right.

 

[Heather]

@Cashew as always you are a source of support and strength. Thank you. But what is TLDR?
