Recognition of the existence ....

Recognition of the existence ....

I thought I'd start this thread with the idea of people posting what they realise. A paragraph and a sentence may do. It is about validity for you. We all have our journey and there are 'moments' when you think? I get that? I can see that? I know what that means for me. The thread is to , well, to inspire you and to share with others if you wanted to. Its about 'recognising' something ...an event, a convo, a ad, a word that you can connect with your experience and it all makes sense to you in the moment. Let me know if you have no idea what I'm on about...lol

Re: Recognition of the existence ....

Hi @1stepup61. I dont have 'statements' yet. Its one foot in front of the other for me at the moment. So cool you could begin to post your 'story' @Former-Member. I posted mine and then cried my eyes out lol soz for the laughing...I do that...I laugh at my own irony.

My 'recognition'. I was standing by a fountain in a park. I looked up and noticed the sky and sun. I saw the red flowers on the tree. They looked bright,perfect and simply living. I saw it...I got feelings....warm feelings

It sounds weird that I noticed nature but I've been 'not feeling' for a long time. It was 'new' and yeah I didn't mind the feeling.

Hope everyone is well @1stepup61 @Former-Member

Re: Recognition of the existence ....

I've had many, many ah-ha moments over the past 25 yrs. The one that sticks out happened late last yr.

I finally realised...I exist. I know that sounds 'thingy', but living for others and feeling like a piece of furniture does that. It shook me to my core when it hit. I'm here; I exist separate from others. I'm not alone, I'm independent.

I have choice - real choice, not what others tell me are options. I can now live for me because i see me in the mirror, not a reflection of others...sigh. I haven't looked back since.

Hope x

Hope is not out of reach for me.

I realised that 'moments' 'words' 'comments' are little boxes of hope that I can put in my basket to assist me to keep well.

Hope use to be mind boggling for me.

@Neelix @Hope4me @1stepup61 @Former-Member When I read about space it humbles me and makes me feel better because it shows me I am just a tiny bit of space dust of little consequence. For those interested click on below about the size of black holes you will see what I mean.
