Every little thing is my fault. Surrounded by laziness or outright stupidity. I want to go somewhere....where there’s either people like us or no people at all. A softer gentler place where we don’t have to worry ourselves to death. I wrote about a young woman. She’s everything I value, the perfect mate and the perfect fiction.

A 86, I totally agree. It seems no one in this world understands people like us, sometimes not even our friends.....Maybe I'll write about the ideal place myself. A place where I don't have to explain things that I did that are completely misconstrued or attempt to talk to people who are completely ignoring me in the process.

I bet what you wrote was awesome. In fact, I'm sure it was!

Have as good of a day as you can, my writing friend!

Who tells you that every little thing is your fault? It's a lie.

For me, the communities to which I belong here on HealthUnlocked have become a cherished sanctuary for me where I have the freedom to be truly me insecurities and all. It is here that I have been cared for and compassionately supported with wise and wonderful souls just like me who are navigating their worlds within themselves and outside of themselves the best they know how to do. Together, we journey freely often sharing with each other deep struggles that have the potential to forever change the quality and direction of our lives.

I am only 64 but my tragic life experiences make me feel so much older and yet there are moments usually unexpected when I can feel so much younger and child-like as opposed to childish. The others here, people I have never met nor may never meet in person in sharing their own journeys give me a wider and much deeper perspective of the world.

Is it possible for us to read what you wrote about that young woman?

How long have you been writing? Have you written other things? What inspires you to write, I am curious? I too am a writer and began when I was much younger by journalling.

I’ve written other stuff. Short stories and book length stuff. As far as inspiration just 2 disparate ideas coming together or trying to make a world out of how I feel.

React however you want to, maybe you find it self indulgent but it’s true. In high school I won $200 for my scribbled bullshit. My aunt congratulated me then said, “Mikey’s the writer,” and walked away. My handsome tall cousin....he’s the golden child.

Why are you calling it " scribbled BS"?

[AlLeYkAt86- in reply to Dolphin14]

It’s the most apt statement.

[Dolphin14 in reply to AlLeYkAt86-]

Did someone say that to you?

[AlLeYkAt86- in reply to Dolphin14]

Yes. Parents are dismissive about it. I think it makes them feel dumb.
