Many things in my life have changed since quitting my job teaching of 23 years. I really don't know how to explain what I am going through. Anxiety, Direction, Searching, Security.... You want to scream to the world what is going on inside you, but you just can't get it out. Only some of the closest few to you know the "inside" scoop of what you really are dealing with. I laugh when I hear people say "The struggle is real!" because in your heart of hearts, you know it really is. There are so many dynamics taking place around us and to use words to describe them is well....impossible. You can't really explain your place to someone because they aren't there, they can only imagine. A state that is giving a sense of loneliness to the whole world you live in. Even when you have thousands of people around you that are reaching out everyday.
I am pretty sure if someone were to film a documentary on my life.. it definitely wouldn't be a movie.. more like a series. What many don't know is I have come along way in this life. Unfortunately, I still make mistakes and I do learn from them..hopefully faster now than before.
Going through my childhood, youth, young adulthood and now middle age I have been through some shit. Most likely everyone would be very surprised for those who really don't know me. I keep a pretty BIG smile on my face at times to cover up some of the true feelings I have. I usually don't take much off people now, but somehow I still give my heart to people and things without even blinking an eye. I guess that's me though. I have also taught my children the same thing, give your all until someone tries to steal it from you. Then protect it with all your might. I am sad when people can't see your true worth and value in what you have to offer. But I honestly have to say, that will never stop me from the goals or ambition I have to really change the world.
It's funny how life shapes you to be the person that you are. I guess the process will continue throughout life until we take our last breath. One thing I do want people to know, is that I never did the things I do for myself. I really always have had others in mind and how I can help them. I never was selfish in my actions. I don't care about money, fame, the cars people drive, the designer clothes people wear, the houses people live in or friends they have. I want people to know it was how I helped those less fortunate and gave every last bit of energy to fight for those who couldn't themselves. That's what I hope people remember.
I had a little bit of an epiphone today and realized again for myself.. "no one can love you more than you loving yourself and one can not give love if there is no love of self. " So.. Love yourself! Then everything else falls into place where it should.
