I’ve been thinking about it, and I think there’s no better time than now, the present moment to get back up and keep trying to deal with this thing called life. It’s a constant. But maybe looking at it from a different angle will help it along.

It’s like an addiction… addiction to the mundane and vicious circle we put ourselves in, I put myself in. My life certainly has been unconventional, and most would think of it as unfortunate and not normal, which it was, but been there, done that, keep moving.

I’m recovering, still, but the point is to never stop. If I’m an addict, need to recover. They say the 5 stages of recovery are: Pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance. I think that’s a good start. Don’t you?

Personally first I think we should maybe put more faith in ourselves. I know I do. I never really thought much of myself. I always put others before me. That’s probably why I have trust issues and have been burned many times. One in the many things to fix.

I was an underage teenage runaway, who fled into the arms of someone who essentially took advantage and abused me. That’s one of my realities. I know I took blame for just being a hard headed teenager, but was told I was in denial. In denial and not looking at things as they are. Of course then Stockholm Syndrome kicks in. Blind.

The seeds were planted. So many thorns disguised as roses. So many issues have implanted themselves over the years, the roots run deep. I’ve been digging for so long, and always burying myself over and over.

But with all that said, I have come to certain realizations. Now I need to implement the other steps. Need to prepare myself, take action, then keep it moving. No movement and you’re dead.

“The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.” – Lao Tzu

Current listen: Currents – Better Days

Is anybody listening?
Can anybody tell me why I can’t get up? Why can’t I get up?
Down on my knees as the world comes falling down
My fear: chained to the ground for my will is weak and my state is bleak
But I’m bound to break free
Pride running through my veins
My chains lay flat around me
My chains lay flat around me
How long do we endure the pain?
How long till we accept?
