Keep your semantics, I have my own language...I get to the point, and it may not be in "ring-around-the rosey' psychobabble semantics, so many like to talk in; it is uniquely my own voice.........I am explicit in what I state, and I can accept anyone else who is also clearly stating something of worth to me, to the subject, and to the betterment of this very sad world.
3. I have lived in my own world all of my life; I like it there; the main character is a silly, interesting, deeply caring person who amuses me in every minute of everyday of this journey others call "living".
4. I will not, and do not do other peoples drama...keep it...and when "gaslighted" these days, I walk away...I can afford to let anyone who tries it on me to eat my friggen dust. I am of worth, and value. Life is too short to permit such nonsense. I like my adult children, and stay outta their way. I spent over 33 years raising them and teaching them to love, to be loved, to be accountable, and to know life is a challenge...I will leave this plane knowing I have contributed something of value to the world.
5. My internal voice is always filled with music...and I love myself for the first time in my life. I have been known to dance in the moonlight of a sweltering summer eve. I can afford to be a very silly, but happy person, who has made many mistakes, taken on on way more than she ever thought she could handle, and handled it;who has always asked the "stupid" question, often put her foot right in her mouth, who has truly lived her life; without fear of what others may think of her.#######PAX!!!!! theodora

Thanks for sharing this, Theo. It's great to have gained such inner strength and be in a position to say that you don't really fear what other people think of you. I admire this. I'm trying to learn all these things. It takes time obviously and personalities are different.
I think it's a great thing to be able to say that you have managed to shape others in a positive way or helped them in some way, as you did with your children. I would like to contribute to others' wellbeing and happiness, too, rather than being a problem or a burden or sometimes not being nice to them.
As I haven't been fortunate enough to have a partner or children (still struggling with this, but trying hard to be more accepting about this fact and moving on hopefully), I would like to try to do it with people I meet outside my four walls.
The points you've made show me what an amazing person you are, Theo.
