Avoidance

I'm really good at avoiding and denying painful things.   I have always had the mentality that if I don't talk about it, it's not real.  Ask me how that has worked out over the past 47 years.  Shitty is the answer. So, I'm done avoiding painful memories, painful moments, painful subjects.  I cannot move through life avoiding what may hurt because it has gotten me nowhere and nowhere isn't where I want to be.

I will face my fears and I will face my life with a backbone that doesn't break.   I must stand firm in what I know that I want and deserve in life and no one will take that from me without a fight.

Be prepared world, I'm breaking out of my chains that have kept me down.   I will not fear life any more.  I will look pain in the eye and deal with what may come.....

"The best things in life are on the other side of terror, on the other side of your maximum fear, are all of the best things in life.”  Will Smith
