It’s better to feel down and depressed about life seemingly going nowhere -than it is to feel shame while attemptiny to go somewhere.

A very young person and Alcoholics Anonymous once stated, they were bored. The sponsor quickly responded, “You’re not experiencing boredom, your experiencing serenity”.

“That I would become a nobody -and that my life would go nowhere”. “Oh, and being alone 🤔 -how could I forget”. My greatest fears have seemingly all come true. Yet in the midst of facing them -the greatest freedom from shame, guilt, remorse I have ever known has come with it -almost simultaneously. All the things I ever did in life to avoid my greatest fears -only brought shame, guilt, remorse.*

*And I DO NOT think I am alone in this! A lot of people have with fear, desperation -and don’t know what to do about it. I find life as it now is a struggle. But a more or less peaceful, guilt-free struggle. I know now why I tried so hard to avoid where my life has come to. I don’t believe I would have been able to handle it the way I am now -Barely 😔
