Paint in the wrong direction

Paint in the wrong direction

Hello everyone,

I am here to discuss with you have you ever said the wrong thing by accident?

Have you ever thought that a higher power was at work or even anything else?

"Painting in the wrong direction" what does this mean? I means that if you believe.in something believe in it with all your heart.

Also still see your doctor, psychiatrist or a psychologist.

Through my mental health issues I have got High Functioning Autism, ADHD, Bipolar, Borderline Personality, Schizophrenia and Complex PTSD.

I pray. to help me paint my life my.way. The wrong direction is when there is unhealthy behaviours. So do what enlightens you.

Re: Paint in the wrong direction

Hi @Sapphire2

I didn't hear this term before.

It sounds extremely complex & simple.

Believing in something so strongly you are willing to go against yourself, am I getting it half right?

What do I do that enlightens me?

I self analyse. I find threads that were previously out of sight.

I write. Lots.

I'm not sure those things are truly enlightening - not what I want to feel.

Enlightened is when I can see with divine clarity.

I feel enlightened, at times, through listening. I feel so out of touch with myself. I want to find me.

What do you do that is enlightening?

Do you paint on the wrong direction?

Are boundaries real?
