I’m tired of hiding in the cracks. I’m tired of being cynical. I want to trust in something or someone again.
Last night I had a long conversation with someone. We talked about my life, everything I’ve gone through good and bad. She told me I should think about volunteering my time with kids who had experiences similar to mine. She’s right; I have come a long way. I may not have the best job in the world or a lot of money, but damn it, I am still here. I never gave up. I came close a couple times, but I’ve never let adversity get me down for too long. I’ve had a lot of bad shit happen to me. I either soaked it in or let it roll off of me.
I’ve never actually felt important. I figured no one wants to hear my dumb stories. That no one really cares. That’s changing. It’s weird, but she makes me feel important. This morning I plan on looking into different groups and see if I can help in one way or another.
Thank you for that call.

to read this makes me think that you are incredibly brave and have an amazingly open heart. I agree with her, it is a great way to convert negative energy into a positive outcome that multiplies itself over and over again... endlessly... not everyone can do that, it is a gift to be embraced
