My bad

6 Replies

Sometimes I come off a little harsh trying to help.

My whole life the mentors that have given me the best “pieces” of my puzzle were the kind of people that had that never ending fire inside regardless of situation.

The kind of people that tell you the truths that aren’t comfortable.

The things you don’t want to hear.

I’ve been through a lot...like you all.

If anyone is looking to share words or is seeking some guidance on things like working out...addiction....pharmaceuticals....ways to NOT be suicidal or want to vent about social media fakeness or anything fee free to message me I’ll listen.

Years ago I was really lost.

Now I’m still lost but doing things like being more present for my kids...coaching youths lacrosse, working out, playing drums, tinkering with machines......things are different, my path is different.

Bless you all in your story of struggle

your words ring true with me, pittiedad9..... im always sharing my testimony, my story with people... how the lord has changed me and my path, set me on solid ground. and thank god for that. hate to think where/ what i would be without my savior.

that being said- i too, was lost. i can get what youre saying. we must try to block out the negativity as much as humanly possible. im so happy to hear that you have found ways out of the darkness... what a blessing.

oh and as far as you "coming across as harsh trying to help..." this is the first post im ever seeing from you, and honestly its helped me ! helped remind me that we all have our struggles but we all do have a way out, regardless of the feelings and evil that finds its way inside each of us.

Sometimes tough love is the best way. Tell it like it is without the sugar coating. But only do it if it's right for him or her whom we seek to help. Do it for their sake or not at all. Not to make us feel better because someone is beginning to irritate. You know what I mean.

If we can retain the will to recover then we probably will. Some day. One size doesn't fit all though. What works for you may not work for the next guy. And vice verse. But the answer is out there somewhere, awaiting our discovery. Maybe in instalments but out there somewhere.

There is some purpose to it all. One day all the pieces fall into place and we understand everything. But just not now.
