[QUOTE=Skeezyks;7252063
Hi Skeezyks...Although I ID with your whole post I just wanted to comment on this one part , most of all.....
[QOUTE=I learned early in life there were things about myself I must never tell anyone, nor did anyone want to hear about it. (I probably couldn't have expressed it if they had asked.) So I just pretended (and not very successfully) to try to be the person I was expected to be. And over time, little-by-little, it all crumbled around me taking innocent others down in the process... just another turn on the misery-go-round of life I guess one might say. Oh well, at least it's all rapidly closing in on the final turn, for me anyway.  [/QUOTE]
It sure sounds like most of what " messed up " your life , so to speak ,happened " early on", when you were young. It feels like you've carried this burden with you along the way. It's terrible not to be able to express something that is burning inside, but you feel like you just can't tell anyone. Secrets eat at our soul. I think that's why we need an honest " confession " along the way. Not in the sense of revealing our wrongs, but to reveal our secrets, to a God , or to another human being. The idea being to cleanse this burden from our soul. To make us free , and maybe even give us a chance at experiencing some happiness.
I don't know if any of that made any sense, just had to say it. Maybe because I feel the same way you do. And also am glad I'm on the " downside" of my life.
