Wow, WOW! Excellent and gripping. Glad I've come across you! We are all where we are meant to be, when we are meant to be here. Remember that, it helps. This too shall pass
I get it.. been there done that- keep on keeping on- or don’t- give it all to HIM- he brought you to it HE WILL BRING YOU TROUGH IT- words are powerful- SPEAK THE LIFE YOU WANT TO LIVE- YOU are already living it…. SURRENDER is hard - BE THE CHANGE YOU Want to see- BE the Happy You want to be … I’m working on MY own words… YOU have a gift 🎁 and inspire ( I want to say I’m not good with words- but I’m just out of practice-so working on the words 🙃)
The cage is the illusion…. We’ve already broken the glass ceiling they just erased the memory… so keep writing ✍️ keep speaking… stay Present- all you can do is all you can do- A.L. Williams
Having been one who was saddled with weight of adult issues starting at two years old, I know exactly what you're talking about, even without having children. In fact, I know what you're saying so well that (no offense) this piece made me tired, exhausted. So few out there can really comprehend what's occurring. I often spend a large part of my day here in Substack working to get people to connect the dots, to see the forest for the trees. From the outside, others seem to see someone who had very few concerns in life, but that's only possible because I've lived with the weight for so long I carry it with some grace. That gracefulness is interpreted by others as "it's easy to do this", but a Baryshnikov style jump and spin is anything but that. I just want you to know that some of us out here know *exactly* what you mean. You are not alone in this recognition. You're not alone in wanting out. Yes, the ones who understand the context and still care are the ones bound the tightest, given the tightest muzzle, given the least material support, and most socially maligned by the widespread narrative. All I can say is keep your eyes on Beauty -- the planet, the sunset, the sunrise, the soft presence of mist, the cleansing quality of rain, the warmth of the sun, the soft light of the moon, the amazing resilience of the soil beneath our feet, the flexibility of the wind, the warmth and light of a fire, the sound brightness of metal, the acceptance of trees. Find something to laugh about even if it's silly or slightly maniacal. Real laughter can help, but it's got to be real. Fake laughter can bake in cynicism, and we need less of that. Find the courage to keep going despite the chaos, and keep rippling kindness through the chaos. You are not the only one. You are one of many. We just don't get to look at each other face-to-face, to breathe each others air directly.
In spirit, time and distance are illusions. Experience is the best teacher. Keep breathing. Stay grounded. Pick and choose your battles carefully. Endure.
