Started A Journal

[VikVikViktorious]

I'm realizing that the life that I once knew is over.

I started a journal, wrote a Eulogy for my old self, and accepted that my life of smoking, drinking and partying is over.

I want to good in this world. I want to give back for the wonderful 30 years I had on this earth before the trauma robbed me of the capability of feeling any positive emotions.

But I don't want it to be motivated by the pain I feel. I feel like any good I do would just be fake. Or selfish. Like I'm only doing it to try and feel better.

Sharing with others, and validating their pain, because we know how they feel, is very healing. The saying, 'You can't give away what you don't have', is true... you have the pain and all that goes with this... so yes.... It's true and real... only someone who knows can help others.... be kind to yourself, it's not fake...

Striking balance..healing, feeling into the pain, finding joy, and mixing all of that up...tricky business.
