one of the reasons i benefit so much from PC is when others tell their story.. in the words they write, i am able to finally pinpoint some of my own feelings about certain topics they've brought up...

most of the 29 years i was in depression, the main descriptive term would be "fogginess" ... unable to be clear, with myself, or others... probably why therapy didnt work for me...

i really feel hopeful when i read words from someone that are clear and descriptive... makes me think this person has good self-awareness...

winter has always been my down time.. its winter again.. Colorado has been snowy and grey today until about noon.. then, the sun came out... thankful for the forgotten blessings when they return...

typically, the state of world affairs depresses me any time of year... im thankful that im finding an elevation in awareness and activism.. relieving to feel community and positive directions..

i'm sure my diet has contributed... too many cigarettes, alcohol, fast times... my only relief!!!

but, in aging, my friends now are more world-minded, more consciously aware of their own contributions to the state of world conditions...

it has given me hope and strength..

i have some younger friends.. i advise them that whats to be is in their hands to shape and create...

i, myself inherited a world in ok shape, but declining as "new" freedoms were explored and exploited...

the world now has reached critical levels in many areas.. sobering... and depressing stuff to think about..

its good you're reaching out.. you sound like a maturing young man... i'm glad you've chosen healing as a path...
