When I hear or think of the song Yesterday, by the Beatles, all my troubles seem so far away, etc. Timeless classic, don't you think? Yesterday I was a kid, how fast we grow up, to realities of life. When were kids, we play, we eat, we sleep, with not a care in the world, at least that is the way it's supposed to be. Not in my family, my mother was an abusive bitch, emasculated my father, my father was a drinker, got worse when his mother died. And my mother came from alcoholics and there wasn't a day that went by us kids was not reminded of it, our friends our family. Some of the families were heavy drinkers, on both sides and some still are. Some are in their graves, and some still alive. I don't drink, I have had my random times, but never was a drinker.
But as a child you see and hear things, from adults that sometimes you shouldn't hear, or at least a child shouldn't. Be that as it may I heard, and saw a lot as a kid, and not only from the drinkers, but abuse also comes in many forms, whether it an alcoholic father, a mean sibling, and hateful parent. It comes in the guise of a husband or boyfriend, or a friend. If one does not embrace the yesterdays, you cannot confront the present and be in peace and harmony in the future. It takes time but medicine, is a waste of time, anti-depressants, drowning your sorrows with drugs or drink, it is only a temporary solution, and the issues are still present when the numbness is gone, and the bottle is empty. People say look at the glass half full not half empty, cliche maybe, but it's true.
Unfortunately, some people never learn, they drink and drink, or lose themselves in a world of despair, and feel they have nowhere to turn, as in the case of suicides, which is a growing epidemic, in the USA and around the world, these last three years of this false news and media, and plandemic, lies and over blown care tactic by the Government, has people giving up and had given up, families have lost loved ones because of lies, and fake news, an election steal , death of Queen, and an Evil United States President. 2019,2020,2021, and even here in 2022, has ushered in a nightmare, false heroes', vaccine pushing, false Gods, brother against brother, groups that have risen up in the name of change, which are nothing more than resurrected violent groups of the past, to eat and destroy, and seek out the good and stamp it out. They History repeats itself, and unfortunately the abuse of power is at its height right now. Today as an adult I see no differently than I did 20 or 30 years ago, I just know how to sperate truth from fiction, it is the same with family. To find harmony and peace with oneself, is to let the past (Yesterday)be buried, learn from it, use it, bury it. Today and the realization of the hurt of the past, and live each day as it comes, to dance to natures tune, plant a garden, do what makes you happy, tune out the abusive, news, TV, turn on music, relation music and escape to the ocean, meditate while you work, make time for the beauty not the ugliness in the world, and if that be family that has hurt you let them go, be your own person, and if you have a partner, live for each other, and Tomorrow is another day
