i sat across from her, trying to avoid her ebony eyes, watching her seemingly emotionless face sit down. as i scanned the room for a focus of comfort, we locked stares and with the nod of the head, she motioned for me to begin... i asked her to tell me about her life and how she ended up where she was now and where did she think she was going... her response was "life has been hell and that's how i ended up here and i can't tell you where i'm going because i'm not moving." confused, i asked her to elaborate, hoping that i could identify from her tone what she would not give me in words. her response was "i first saw life from a project window,after leaving, my soul felt widowed, feeling like it was the only place i belonged,so often deemed wrong for wanting more and seeking sunshine outside of the gates but it was too late, i was already condemned and labled. i was pretty smart in school but had no heart so i suffered abuse at the hand of each person i seemed to share contact. later on, it erupted into sexual and emotional attacks, something i feel like i never came back from. i left the nest in search of the best life i could find only to realize that i had taken another step towards my demise,the victimized look in my eyes made me a target, a hot commodity on the user market and i ended up again in a web of lies and deceit only to be defeated by the one thing i had always believed in...love. i feel battered and bruised and i have just used all of my energy to lift my head up and breathe, while relieved that life has taken a turn for the better, never will i believe that it'll always be this way and i am just waiting to turn into another person's prey." i took a deep breath and went against my own ethics and decided to give advice: i said: "think twice about the ordeals you've survived,you're still alive and you have to know that you are not the storm,you are what has remained standing afterwards... know that you can begin again once you eliminate the occupation of victim. honey, send out a memorandum to your demons,evicting them from your space,put a smile on your face and walk among the clouds, knowing that you have a purpose and as long as you are breathing, there is still time. conceive your dreams and make them come true...the only person who has the power to free you is YOU..." we both shed a tear and touched hands... i rose from the mirror to begin again... |

 (big hugggssssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, I am sorry to hear that you had to go through too much pain and abuse in the past, but I also am so happy that through pure wisdom you see that you are worth it, you are special, and you are not the storm and are born to live and seek the promised land! (sigh) For this wonderful write you deserve extra special angel friendship hugs, sweet friend, God Bless You, and may your wisdom inspire many who have suffered too to be healed and rise with optimism and faith, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Candii, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |
