I don't often talk about my past, because firstly it would shock people too much and secondly, well it's personal right? My childhood was just the beginning. My life has been colorful to say the least. After leaving home, I dated the kind of men that any girl should stay well away from because it was all I knew and so it carried on. But I survived and here I am  You're an impressive woman Dey. Not too many people can survive something like that and go on to live a good, productive life. Kudos to you and your survivability. |

That was probably too much information, but oh well. Actually it was right on time considering the topic. And those words had to be just as tough for you to say as it was for that young lady. It's not easy to talk about personal stuff that is for sure. For any of us really. I mean this is a public forum and once said it cannot be taken back. And once said we are putting our stuff out there to be judged. Only do it if you know you can handle the backlash. Because not everyone is kind or understanding, some will hold it against you or use it against you at some point in time. Not your fault or my fault, but a weakness in character of the person taking that route. I have made my peace with my past, so come what may, I know I can handle it and be just fine. My past does not define who I am today. Writing that book about my childhood helped tremendously, now that was really hard to do! |

Writing is very cathartic for sure. |

Can be rather cathartic when some pass away as Deyana has said...I had been told many times when I was in my 20s-30s that many humans would celebrate when my time has expired and I always thought if that is what it takes for them to heal then one day they will have it... You are a bit of a mystery in many ways, Maxx. I've known you for some years now and yet I don't really know you at all. Interesting...Well I volunteered for your boiler bunny thing but feel free to toss me in again or just ask whatever questions you want here or PM... |

What I have seen here is that whatever experiences you have had, you beat them and turned out to be a tremendous human being. I have found out first hand how hard writing a book is, but in the same way, writing can be a cleansing or healing experience. I can see how writing your book helped you. I know that after I was done with my book, I felt great peace. Very interesting read..... Put this at the top of my Facebook page: you never lose,you either win or learn" |
