I am always in here, reading and putting my thoughts in on other peoples situations. I've had a lot of experience with breakups, drugs, bad people, and just so many negative things. But im still happy, I keep moving forward, and I love helping people if I can. Id like to think words through this anonymous writing site can help someone. I hope my words can help take the negative things in people's life and remove them! We have years on this earth not decades, do what you love and keep moving forward with the people and things that make you happy. Love yourself and treat others the way you would like to be treated because everyone is going through their own battles. I hope everyone has an amazing and Blessed Monday! :)

I stood up for myself
I finally did it, after months of an emotional rollercoaster, I stood up and said ENOUGH. I was in a long-distance with a person who I realized, later on, had a...

I realized I was alone from the very beginning, which explains why I just had to do this thing for myself. Now, here I am asking myself if I made the right deci...
Well putting words out into the world is a lit like throwing stones. Once it leaves your hands, you no longer have control over it. You can aim and throw with some control of potential impact, but there are always variables and circumstances outside of your control.
Words tend to be hollow in most cases, especially for someone who is suffering from severe depression. Your words may be meant in a kind way, but they only serve as a reminder of the person's failure to adapt and regulate their life.
But there are some instances, rare albeit, in which someone may take your words to heart. They may even act upon those words in some way. But you're not likely to change anyone's life with text on a screen.
Doesn't mean you shouldn't try, just means that it's not something you should expect. You give words of encouragement freely, without bias. That is all that matters and if it helps, you can pretend that maybe your words have an impact. But as it is, in reality, I don't honestly believe that people come here to be reached. They come here to write the sins they've endured or committed.
It's a simplistic yet overcomplicated idea, really. The only real question being, why do you want others to listen to you? Why do you feel they need to hear your words, specifically? Does it make you feel motivated? Does it give you a sense of pride? Does it help you keep away the demons inside?
It all comes down to what you're gett6out of it. For me, I simply don't want to see others make the same stupid decisions I've made. It's my way of dealing with my failures as a father, I suppose. In some fucked up way.
But like yourself, I hope others would heed my warnings and listen to my words. Because I've been down some of the darkest roads and I know where they lead, I know how they end. It's not something I'd want anyone else to endure, if I can possibly convince them to alter course.
Just so you understand, I know my words may come off as cold. I'm not saying to give up on trying to help others here. It's just that the chances that you will help someone here is vastly decreased in comparison to something similar in a real life scenario. Where you're in front of someone and able to physically convey that hope and desire to help in person.
ReplyI cannot lie when I say I never read them when I first posted this and wow. Ive become closer to God than ever before, confessed my sins and still sinning but recognized the sin ove committed. Repentance to God is what I've got now. I believe that God as a future planned for me and you as well. Not sure what youve as a father or not done. But I'd love to chat about it if you're ever on this again. Thank you for you words.
ReplyYes some people do. Though I try to do the same. I have benefitted from others kind words in the past. You have an amazing blessed Monday too!
