The thing is, we all like to think that we "know" ourselves but in reallity we spend a huge amount of time hiding from ourselves. I have had one of the toughest years of my entire life and believe me thats tough considering my life or should I say lifetimes! But here are a few things Ive learnt about myself this year, I hope it will at least stimulate your thinking:
- Do not avoid pain. Do not use food, sex, music, life, business, anger or illness to avoid pain. Allow it to wash over you and feel it. That which does not kill me will only make me stronger.
- You cannot loose friends. You can only loose people that you thought were your friends.
- Values are your foundations. When you mess with those - you are messing with the universe.
- I hang out with you because I dont think Im normal. Your madness makes me feel normal. And thats just wrong.
- Music is medicine. Whilst some medicine makes you feel better immediately some kills the good stuff whilst tackling the bad stuff.
- I am addicted. And I always will be. And this is my punishment for loving you. And I will until the day I die.
- I am a strong woman.
- I am a weak woman.
- There are things that I have been so ungrateful for and have lost. I say it now to the universe: THANK YOU!
- Take happiness while you can - it does not come often.
- I cannot live without God, my family, my friends, music, art, the sea - and you.
- Life goes on.
- I used to hide the pain and wounds you inflicted - from now on I will proudly display them like beautifu tattoos.
