New life v2.0
My life is not as dark and haunted as it used to be, which was my primary muse and makes for the most interesting and entertaining read. If you are reading this, you have either read, or will read what I have written, and do/will understand what I am talking about. There is a lot more to talk about when you have issues as opposed to when you have gotten over most of them and have learned how to cope with the day-to-days of life.
Life is not without issue, so I will carry forward to what is present.
When I started, it was around 5 years ago to help me deal with the stress of the then current situation and to help me cope with my then current and past demons. A lot has changed since then, and I suppose this says a lot about the maturing process... in the sense that you are more comfortable with the decisions you have made because they can be more thought out than those prior decisions in life, usually because you have dealt with a similar situation before, or because you have chosen to be ignorant due to a variety of reasons. Too many to list here.
Or worse... you realize that, after the fact, one or both of your parents was right. Moving on...
Life goes on and if you are lucky, someone will have written your memoirs so that you have something to document your life and the future generations can learn from your ways, or if you are really lucky, you have children to pass on what they believe to be the most lasting impression that no memoir could document, living proof through their actions.
It's been a while, gentle reader, and reading some of the past posts brings up fond and difficult memories, reminds me of past friends and those still around, it makes me appreciate where I have come to be, and brings the realization that there is so much potential for a great future that it makes me sick. Excuse me while I throw up.
...Better now, thanks.
Maturing is a difficult thing to deal with at best. In my experience I have learned that I would have slapped myself into making proper decisions as I see it now, but I wouldn't have learned through my mistakes nor have established the relations I have with those around me now had I thrown a finishing uppercut at my formal self.
Life is not easy and continues to prove it's challenges, but it seems that in the end, the fight is worth what is to come, if you choose it to be. It really depends on the now and future because no-one is going to come around to set you straight until it is past.
