I'm fading… into nothing. I'm not dying… not yet anyway. I'm searching… but I don't know what for. I can't see… why I'm sad. I forgive myself… as much as I can. I'm scared... and I don't know why. I'm starving... and yet I don't eat. I'm sick... but I don't see a doctor anymore. I'm shaky... from these stupid diet pills. I'm blind... and I wish I could just see. I'm crying… but why is a mystery to me. |

I enjoyed reading this Blondie..I think when we take the time to look inside of our heart and discover who we really are and what we want for our lives things will get better as we begin to understand what is important to us and what our goals are. James |

James~ Thanks for your reply. I have realized I take a lot of things for granted and I need to set up some real-life goals so that maybe one day I'll percieve myself as a healthy woman that CAN do things to the best of her ability.  |

Blondie ~I wasn't quite sure how to respond to this one at first, I found it sad! I think we all are wandering, but the real journey begins when we look inside ourselves. Not all those who wander are lost. ~J.R.R. Tolkien |

Eagle~ It is quite sad but it's the way I feel right now, lost on the path of nowhere |

Melissa~ You know I am always here for you, just a phone call away. I know I have been out of town these past 15 days but I'm back now and here with open arms. If you need to confide in anyone call me. I missed you! And remember you lead YOUR life... "If you live to be a hundred, I want to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you." |

This is heartfelt and moving.......You know they say that the secret it being happy is simply being content with what one has. It seems so simple and really is.....but sometimes its the things we think we want that will make us happy.......then only to find they are just as empty as the things we throw away to get them. Discard all the things that are just that....THINGS....focus on the real things in your life...People..goals, job,....your path. Then maybe you can find you in that all.....be happy with you...then add the things that simply add to your life but don't make it. You may find your content with just the simple things. I wish you well in finding your way. As a Christian I must leave you with......"Seek ye first the Kindom of GOD ....and all these things shall be added unto you." And please if you don't understand how that applies to you....Write me.....I will explain it to you. God Bless. And keep sharing A man does not love a woman because she is beautiful...But she is beautiful because he loves her. |

Knight~ Thanks for your reply, it really hit home. After I read your reply I had to go pick up the Bible and read a few verses always cheers me up and lifts me up. What a wonderful thing! "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34 |
