2211.18 EMERGENCE FROM THE DARK

No I'm not talking about the current political climate, cost of living crisis or the state of the world right now. Emergence from that seems unlikely, at least anytime soon. I've marked a number of milestones this year but one of them isn't something I relish.

Ten years ago I was in a dark place. I just wanted to mark the passing of this milestone, I couldn't leave it to go unmentioned. Back then my life was turned upside down, I'm not about to go into the detail, I went through all that with a therapist at the time, besides my memory of those events is patchy at best. At the time I saw no way out but there was and EVERYTHING worked out. Moreso I'd say that (in hindsight anyway) I am a better person for my experiences of the time but on the otherhand I wouldn't wish my experiences on anyone (well maybe not anyone, there are a few that could use some strong life lessons).

I am happy in my own skin now, I know who I am and I'm happy being me. My world is far from perfect but I, for once, am not the problem. I have my family, friends and a job that I enjoy (but am unappreciated in). I understand my world and feel syncronised with it. The world isn't in a great place at the moment but at least I'm not the problem.
