There is no sarcasm in my post. I truly am sorry for making assumptions about Kris. I must have misread her post. And my posts were really over the line. Please accept my apology. I was wrong. You are a good person and very happy with yourself. Open to love and starting conversations. Have a wonderful life.

Kris said, “

“

Then says, “Who says I’m not happy with myself? I never said I disliked myself. Actually, there’s a lot that I like about myself, like my passion, determination, my empathy, my creativity, ect. You don’t know that I’m not starting conversations or showing interests. I am doing both of those thing. I am open to love. Why do you assume I’m not? I feel like you’re making assumptions about me.”

If one is happy with oneself then why start a post with “My life hasn’t been great”? Needing a therapist and they died? Okay, sounds like a good life and you are very happy with yourself. My post was a general way to look at things. So great they don’t apply to you. You are so happy with yourself. Starting conversations and being open to love?? Depression therapy? Okay, nothing wrong here.

I really must apologize for my assumptions. You aren’t the person I thought you were posting about. My bad. I wish you well and have a good life.

I truly hope your find the freedom and happiness and the love you so richly deserve.

Breaking free of those chains that bind us to our past is worth it at any age. It reduces the Karma that might follow us into the next life.

Time and shared space makes us who we are inside. So I believe that whoever your mom was, she did love you in her own way. Deep inside feelings that don’t get expressed. She di love you. How could she not? How could you not? But circumstances take their toll on the human spirit. It shades our outlook on life. Our understanding of our lives are taken in episodes. Each re-enforcing the next. So, sometimes things get twisted that we don’t see the truth. Or we just can’t untangle ourselves from the experience to learn who and what we really are. The suffering.

Personally, I believe you have come thru your experiences that you have become a better person. You bring compassion and love into your posts. You take the time to help each person. And you agonize over the little things to find the truth. I hope that you will overcome your past to find the freedom and happiness that you so righteously deserve.

Hello,

To me. when there is a place which holds a draw, it is usually because there were feelings attached to a person who resided there. Could have been parents or siblings or even a lost love. Now, looking for advice from others about where you should be is not going to fix this feeling of belonging. No other person can give you the right answer without knowing a whole lot more about you. And it is doubtful that a forum full of strangers will get to know you well enough in a short period of time.

So, what should you do? Make a list of what holds you to each place such as friends, work, opportunities and anything special. Put numbers next to the items on the list. The more draw the higher the number. What brings more happiness, the higher the number. Add it up and see where it leads. Then remember that the past is gone and only the present matters. It is hard to let go of the past. Memories and such do take its toll. What the list will do is help you see what is available to you.

If you have friends then talk with them also. For some, settling in a place called home helps the soul. For others, leaving the past behind frees the soul from bonds that hold them back. It is good to have choices. As for signs from the Universe, it becomes all a matter of how you interpret the signs. Some people like the rain and others like sunshine. Then there are the others who bask in the sunshine and rink the rain water.

It is a difficult situation when there are loved ones who are near death or dying. Can a person who is dying choose when and the method of their death? People in general value life. What kind of life is it when it burdens loved ones? Personally, have thought of times when the situation might require a decision that is kept out of the realm of what is possible. There was a doctor who assisted those who wished to end their suffering. He was prosecuted.

Oh, there are those who have severe depression and wish to end it. Those are not dying or suffering for a terminal disease. Would never consider that to be a choice for those with such afflictions as depression.

So, do we spend every minutes trying to find freedom? Or do we just live the best way we know how? I personally always believed that the journey was worth more than the destination.
