I can write to you because you are not me

You have undoubtedly made your presence known in my life, but you do not define me

Through the years as I have journeyed with you, I (and my loved ones) have travailed through many struggles and slippery slopes, many tides, textures and tones pervade

I have accepted that you have undeniably chosen to reside with me, and I have a healthy fear of the havoc you can wreak

Having said that i can choose to put into practice the wisdom I have gleaned over the years about  myself and how I respond to different environments. I can respect my limitations and set realistic expectations

My life is not boring, far from it, my life is beautiful and I am so grateful that I was given the family and friends I have to allow me to not be defeated by you

You have inspired me to write, my story is powerful and I am sure there are many souls being tormented by you that need that glimmer of hope

Let’s keep walking and talking.
