I hope that it is thought provoking~~
Well they do, the pain subsides and you move on......
Because you have to in order to live a "normal" life. That is all that I have ever wanted....A "normal" life that is. I used to ask my therapist why I couldn't have one. His response was "what is normal?" "is there even such a thing?" I would say that I see people happy all the time. They seem normal, why is happiness such an elusive thing for me to attain..................
I think that when you constantly look outside yourself for happiness it is rather elusive, because it starts from within! That is something that we all need to learn. That happiness is there inside of you, nobody can make you happy. It is something that you must look for inside yourself. That is the secret that you must learn......Also that it is not just for the so called "normal" people it is acessable to anyone if you look deep within yourself. It is there. Shining like a light, waiting for you to find it, praying that you do, because if you don't it is wasted and the light fades and dies. That light is your soul the real you, the person behind the masks. You know the "mask" that you use to protect yourself from being hurt, it is used to keep people at arms length, for what you see as protection. I have had my "soul" my inner light squelched at a very young age. I was molested as a child. By a family member. It is not an easy thing to deal with... that someone you are supposed to be able to trust would be so sick as to do something like that to a child.
So for me, it is an ongoing process finding myself and being a happy person. When I am done , or completely at the point that I want to reach......I will let you know...untill then keep searching ........It is right there inside of you......You are the most important person in your life, because if you aren't happy with yourself, how can you ever be happy with others???
Because it all comes from within.... I also feel that Bipolar individuals feel things greatly, and therefore are more emotional and sensitive about life in general. I know that I am that way. It can be a blessing in disguise. Not all people can appreciate it.... But hey smile not everyone will appreciate you... and you dont need there aproval anyway... Life is to short..get to know yourself~~~~AND SMILE :O)
