My Safe Harbor in a Storm

So have you ever been caught in a sea of despair?
And your moment of truth
Is the day that you say “I’m not scared”

Put your hands in the air
If you hear me out there
I’ve been looking for you day and night
Shine a light in the dark
Let me see where you are
‘Cause I’m not gonna leave you behind

If I told you that you’re not alone
And I show you this is where you belong
Put your hands in the air
One more time

–Unity by Shinedown

When I was a kid I didn’t have many friends, shocking I know. To this day I don’t have that friend who’s known me all my life, some family but no friends. I didn’t mind most of the time I had one hell of an imagination and when I wasn’t creating elaborate stories with my action figures I was losing myself in books, movies, or TV shows. Back then I didn’t have the internet to talk to other people about it so I simply enjoyed it alone in my room. I let those things take me away from the loneliness of my youth.

You Mean, You Can’t Read My Mind

Let today be the day you stop being haunted by the ghost of yesterday. Holding a grudge & harboring anger/resentment is poison to the soul. Get even with people…but not those who have hurt us, forget them, instead get even with those who have helped us.
– Steve Maraboli

Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.
– Carrie Fisher

I don’t get resentment. I can’t help but feel it but at the same time, I realize it’s pointless. It’s the results of expectations not being met and a lack of communication. Both of these things I’m guilty of so really the only person to blame is myself.
